Capilano drywall in context

About Capilano

Bounded by the green spaces of the river valley and Gold Bar Ravine, Capilano features beautifully landscaped 1950s-era homes, tree-lined streets and two attractive parks named for prominent early Edmontonians.

What we see in Capilano

In Capilano the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our Capilano 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 Capilano basement.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Cloverdale

Why primer comes first

Fresh Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Cloverdale 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 Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Cloverdale 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.
