Can you board a legal suite basement?

Yes — we board the Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood suite to the City of Edmonton spec — fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls — with the rest of the basement.

Does the West Meadowlark Park basement spec include moisture-resistant board?

Yes — on every exterior foundation wall, even with a vapour barrier, in your West Meadowlark Park basement.

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in West Meadowlark Park?

Green board or purple board covers the West Meadowlark Park exterior-foundation walls and the plumbing and laundry areas. Interior West Meadowlark Park partition walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” drywall. Legal suites in West Meadowlark Park run 5/8” Type X fire-rated ceilings with soundproof board on the party walls. The correct product for every West Meadowlark Park surface is locked in at the on-site quote.

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in West Meadowlark Park?

Moisture-resistant board — green or purple — goes on all West Meadowlark Park walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry. For West Meadowlark Park interior partitions clear of moisture, standard 1/2” drywall is the right product. An West Meadowlark Park suite conversion specs fire-rated 5/8” Type X above and soundproof board between. We specify the right product for each West Meadowlark Park surface at the on-site quote before we start.

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 Meadowlark Park.

Do you use moisture-resistant board on West Meadowlark Park basement walls?

Our West Meadowlark Park basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in West Meadowlark Park is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Walls beside a bathroom or laundry in an West Meadowlark Park basement call for moisture-resistant board. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. We walk the West Meadowlark Park basement and map every surface before speccing materials — so the order matches the job and inspection brings no surprises.

Boarding, taping and mudding to Level 4 throughout

With the right board on the right surfaces, every seam, corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying, sanded flat. West Meadowlark Park basement ceilings usually carry bulkheads, beam wraps and posts that the boarding has to negotiate. All of it gets taped to the same Level 4 standard we hold on West Meadowlark Park walls. When we leave the West Meadowlark Park basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.

Finishing the unfinished basement that came with the West Meadowlark Park home

The most common basement drywall call in West Meadowlark Park is the homeowner who has been in the house for a few years and is finally ready to finish the basement the builder left as framed-and-open. We measure the space, assess the framing, spec the right board for each surface and board, tape and finish the entire basement to Level 4. West Meadowlark Park homeowners who wanted a home office, guest bedroom or recreation room get a space that is paint-ready and ready for flooring.

Secondary suite partitions and bedroom additions in West Meadowlark Park basements

A number of West Meadowlark Park homeowners are converting their unfinished basements to secondary suites or adding a legal bedroom to an existing basement layout. We board the partitions, tape all joints and corners to Level 4, and make sure the board spec is correct for each wall — moisture-resistant where required, fire-rated on the suite ceiling, soundproof on party walls.
