Our Westview Village basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Westview Village we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

Tape through finish

Taped, mudded coat by dried coat, sanded to flat Level 4 or 5 and checked under light — the Westview Village basement leaves paint-ready.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Westview Village?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Westview Village homes

The cost of basement drywall in Westview Village 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. We measure your Westview Village basement in person and fix the price before anything starts.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Westview Village

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The Westview Village suite ceiling assembly runs 5/8” Type X fire-rated board by requirement. In Westview Village, suite party walls take STC-rated soundproof board. Every exterior wall and wet area in an Westview Village basement gets moisture-resistant board. Before board goes up in Westview Village, this is specified — not retrofitted post-inspection.

Basement drywall board types used in Westview Village homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Westview Village

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Westview Village basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. It handles lighter on site and finishes identically to the rest of your Westview Village home. Most interior basement partition walls in Westview Village homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Westview Village

Exterior foundation walls in Westview Village homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Westview Village basement bathrooms and laundry rooms take moisture-resistant board wall-to-wall. Westview Village legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between an Westview Village suite and the main living space benefit significantly from STC soundproof board — the difference is audible. We map each Westview Village surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product before we start.

Why Westview Village homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Westview Village

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Westview Village basement before we price it and specify the right board in writing — moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the suite spec calls for it. When the Westview Village permit inspector walks it, the board spec is already correct.
