Basement drywall work we do in Weinlos

Completing a partial basement finish in Weinlos

Weinlos homes from the late 1980s and 1990s frequently have partially finished basements — one room drywalled, one room not, or board up but never taped. We assess what is there, confirm the board choice is correct for each surface, and complete the finish to Level 4 throughout. The result is a consistent basement that reads as one space rather than a project half done.

Legal suite additions in Weinlos — suite separation boarding

Homeowners in Weinlos adding a legal secondary suite to a mid-era basement need the right board on every surface: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the suite ceiling, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in wet areas. We specify before we board, and we board to the Edmonton secondary suite standard — so the inspection passes and the suite is actually liveable.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Weinlos?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Weinlos homes

The cost of basement drywall in Weinlos comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated are different costs), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls need to accommodate. On-site measurement in Weinlos first; the fixed price follows before we lift a sheet.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Weinlos

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The ceiling between an Weinlos suite and the floor above requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between the Weinlos suite and the main living space need STC-rated soundproof board. We put moisture-resistant board on all Weinlos exterior walls plus bathrooms and laundry. In Weinlos we spec this before we board — not after the inspection flags it.

Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls away from moisture

Standard 1/2” drywall is fine for interior basement walls that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating rooms inside the basement, partition walls for a home office, bedroom or recreation room. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Weinlos house. Most interior basement walls in Edmonton homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant and fire-rated board — where it matters

Exterior foundation walls — the ones against the concrete — need moisture-resistant board, even with a vapour barrier behind the framing. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Weinlos basement bathrooms and laundries. If you are converting an older Edmonton bungalow basement to a legal suite, the ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Soundproof board for party walls between the suite and the rest of the house is worth doing right if you want the suite to be liveable and rentable.
