Our Ambleside basement painting process, step by step

Confirm the drywall is ready

Whether we boarded it or another contractor did, we confirm the mud is fully cured before we prime — painting over damp compound is the most common reason a basement paint job fails early.

Prime, then finish

We prime the new surface fully, then apply two to three coats depending on the colour change and wall condition to walls and ceilings, working room by room in your Ambleside basement.

Why primer comes first

Fresh Allard, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek drywall absorbs unevenly until it is primed right — and an unprimed wall makes any finish coat look patchy. Because we board and finish the basement drywall in Allard, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek ourselves, we know exactly when it is dry and ready to prime.

No gap between trades

We move from finishing the drywall straight into priming and painting, without waiting on a separate painter's schedule.
