Basement painting in Albany, Athlone, Baranow, from the crew that boards and finishes it

The final coat on a Kensington basement is paint; its quality is set by the drywall below it. In Kensington we board, tape and finish the basement, then prime and paint it — the trusted local professionals, start to finish. Kensington is an older Northwest community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so basement projects here are common. We cover Kensington, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Kensington

Prime fresh board properly

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

Kensington drywall in context

About Kensington

Kensington was annexed to the City in 1913 during a real estate boom but most development didn't occur until the 1950s.

What we see in Kensington

In Kensington 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.

What affects the cost of basement painting in Kensington?

Square footage, layout and new-drywall priming

The cost in Kensington 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 Kensington

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

Our Kensington 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 Kensington basement.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Kensington

New drywall needs the right primer

Fresh drywall in a Kensington basement is porous and uneven until primed correctly — skip that and the finish coat goes patchy. Because we board and finish the basement drywall in Kensington 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.

Common basement painting situations in Kensington

Legal suite conversions

Legal suite basement conversions are a regular call — painting has to happen after the fire-rated and soundproof board is finished and inspected.

New basement developments

For a first-time Kensington basement finish, we quote the drywall and paint together as one project so the timeline and price are set upfront.
