Is moisture-resistant board standard in Whitemud Edmonton basements?

Yes — on every exterior foundation wall, even with a vapour barrier, in your Whitemud Edmonton basement.

Can you finish a basement that is partially started in Whitemud Edmonton?

Yes, and we do it regularly. We assess what is already there — whether the board type is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether anything needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish the Whitemud Edmonton basement properly. An Whitemud Edmonton basement gets its issues corrected first — not hidden behind new board.

What type of drywall do you use for exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

Moisture-resistant (green board or purple board) on all walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry.

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. A simple open basement in a 2010s Whitemud Edmonton new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates, Brander Gardens, Brookside bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Whitemud Edmonton first; the fixed price follows before we lift a sheet.
