When can paint go on after Garneau drywall wraps?

Common basement painting situations in Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia

Legal suite conversions

Garneau drywall in context

About Garneau

One of the oldest inner-city neighbourhoods, Garneau is named for an early settler and became part of Edmonton in 1912.

What we see in Garneau

In Garneau the drywall work is verify dominant band before writing notes. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Garneau

Prime fresh board properly

Unprimed new drywall in Garneau drinks paint unevenly — the finish coat shows it as patchiness. Because we board and finish the basement drywall in Garneau 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.

What affects the cost of basement painting in Garneau?

Square footage, layout and new-drywall priming

The cost in Garneau depends on total square footage, how many rooms and bulkheads the layout has, and whether the drywall is brand new (which needs a full primer coat before paint holds properly). We measure on site and give a fixed price first.

Basement projects in Garneau

We regularly quote basement painting alongside the drywall stage as one combined job.

Our Garneau 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 age and condition of the specific home to walls and ceilings, working room by room in your Garneau basement.

No gap between trades

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