Finishing a Hodgson basement: primer first, then paint

Paint is the last step of an Hodgson basement build, and it can only be as good as the drywall beneath. In Hodgson we board, tape and finish the basement, then prime and paint it — the trusted local professionals, start to finish. Hodgson is this established Whitemud community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so basement projects here are common. We cover Hodgson, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Moisture, and what we check before painting

Paint is not a moisture barrier

If a Hodgson basement wall is damp, paint will fail — bubbling, peeling or a musty smell that returns.

What has to be settled first

The drainage, any seepage and the insulation and vapour control behind the board. We would rather flag a damp reading than paint over it and be back in a year.

Hodgson drywall in context

About Hodgson

The Hodgson neighbourhood was named after John Hodgson (1888-1969) who was the city comptroller and financial commissioner for the City of Edmonton for nearly 40 years.

What we see in Hodgson

In Hodgson the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our Hodgson 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 Hodgson basement.

Ventilation while painting a basement

The hardest room to air out

A Hodgson basement has small windows and often none that open, so paint smell lingers far longer than upstairs.

How we manage it

Mechanical ventilation while working and after, low-VOC products where they suit the job, and sequencing so the family is not sleeping next to a freshly painted space. We will tell you which products still smell regardless.

Why Hodgson homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement painting in Edmonton

The whole job, one trusted team

Fixed price, same-day reply

We paint basements across Hodgson and Whitemud, 7 days a week. Quotes in Hodgson are free and on-site, the price is fixed, and the finish is guaranteed.

Utility areas and the mechanical room

Decide what gets finished

Many Hodgson basements have a finished area and an unfinished mechanical space. Whether the mechanical room gets painted at all is a real decision, not an oversight.

Our take

A coat of white in the utility area costs little, makes the space far easier to work in and see in, and it is much cheaper to do while the crew is already on site.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Hodgson

Prime fresh board properly

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