How do you deal with the paint smell in a basement?

Mechanical ventilation while working and afterwards, low-VOC products where they suit the job, and sequencing so nobody is sleeping next to a freshly painted room. Some primers and enamels still smell regardless, and we will say which.

Do you paint basements in Glenwood?

Yes — Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood and Jasper Place.

Will you handle both drywall and paint in my Glenwood basement?

Yes — that is how most basement projects in Glenwood work with us. One quote covers boarding, finishing and painting.

Is drywall-plus-paint a single Glenwood contract with you?

Yes — that is how most basement projects in Glenwood work with us. One quote covers boarding, finishing and painting.

Should we paint the mechanical room too?

It costs little while the crew is on site, makes the space far easier to see and work in, and is much more expensive as a separate visit later. We would do it.

Why does my colour look different in the basement?

Less natural light, and what there is comes from small high windows. A shade that reads warm upstairs often reads grey down here. Test the actual colour on the actual wall and look at it after dark under the lights you will use.

Prime fresh board properly

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

Glenwood drywall in context

About Glenwood

Glenwood is a large neighbourhood in the City's west end, and represents both residential and commercial land uses.

What we see in Glenwood

In Glenwood 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.

Ceiling colour matters more down here

Reflecting what little light there is

A Glenwood basement ceiling is usually lower and closer to the eye, and it is doing real work bouncing artificial light around the room.

Practical choice

A bright flat white ceiling makes a basement feel taller and lighter. A colour-matched or dark ceiling looks striking in photographs and makes most real basements feel smaller.

Stairwells down to the basement

The awkward part

The stair enclosure has raking light, tight cutting around stringers and handrail, and often the worst wall condition in the Glenwood house because of years of traffic.

Why we price it separately

It is slower per square foot than any room in the basement, and quoting it inside the general basement rate is how a job runs over.

Our Glenwood basement painting process in Edmonton, 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 Glenwood basement.
