Can you board a legal suite basement?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls go in to the City of Edmonton suite spec, alongside the rest of your West Edmonton basement.

Can you board a basement that was partially started?

All the time. We assess what is already there — whether the board choice is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether any board needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish it properly. Boarding over issues is not how we work in West Edmonton.

Do you finish West Edmonton basements to Level 5?

Where the paint spec calls for it, yes — most basements finish well at Level 4, and we tell you honestly which your West Edmonton project needs.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Edmonton in Edmonton?

Linear footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Edmonton basements

The cost of basement drywall in Edmonton comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant or soundproof cost differently), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls have to work around.
