Do you combine the Lendrum Place drywall and painting into one job?

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

My basement wall feels damp. Can you just paint it?

No. Paint is not a moisture barrier and will bubble or peel, and the musty smell comes back. The drainage, seepage and vapour control behind the board have to be settled first — we would rather flag it than be back in a year.

Do you paint basements in Lendrum Place?

Yes — Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

Do you combine the Lendrum Place drywall and painting into one job?

Yes — that is how most basement projects in Lendrum Place 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.

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.

Basement painting in Lendrum Place, straight off the taping

The final coat on an Lendrum Place basement is paint; its quality is set by the drywall below it. In Lendrum Place we board, tape and finish the basement, then prime and paint it — the trusted local professionals, start to finish. Lendrum Place is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so basement projects here are common. We cover Lendrum Place, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

Lower light changes the colour you should pick

Basements eat colour

A shade that reads warm and light upstairs often reads grey and cold in a Lendrum Place basement, because there is far less natural light and what there is comes from small high windows.

What we suggest

Test the actual colour on the actual wall and look at it after dark under the lights you will use. A colour chosen in a bright showroom rarely survives the trip downstairs.

Lendrum Place drywall in context

About Lendrum Place

The area was named in honour of Robert Lendrum, one of Edmonton's early land surveyors.

What we see in Lendrum Place

In Lendrum Place 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.

Utility areas and the mechanical room

Decide what gets finished

Many Lendrum Place 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.

Painting new board in a basement

Fresh compound everywhere

A newly developed Lendrum Place basement is almost entirely new board and new joints, so the whole surface is porous and inconsistent.

Prime the lot

A full drywall primer-sealer, not a spot prime. It is the difference between an even finish and a wall where every joint reads through in the right light — which in a basement means every time the pot lights are on.

Our Lendrum Place 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 Lendrum Place basement.

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 Lendrum Place 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.
