Our Kernohan 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 Kernohan basement.

Kernohan drywall in context

About Kernohan

Named for an early pioneer farmer who operated a grocery store here in the 1880s and 90s, Kernohan was not annexed until 1961.

What we see in Kernohan

In Kernohan 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.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Kernohan

New drywall needs the right primer

Fresh drywall in a Kernohan 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 Kernohan 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 Kernohan

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 Kernohan basement finish, we quote the drywall and paint together as one project so the timeline and price are set upfront.
