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 Lorelei 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.

Lorelei drywall in context

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Lorelei

Why primer comes first

Fresh Albany, Athlone, Baranow drywall absorbs unevenly until it is primed right — and an unprimed wall makes any finish coat look patchy. Because we board and finish the basement drywall in Albany, Athlone, Baranow 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.

Ceiling colour matters more down here

Reflecting what little light there is

A Lorelei 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.

Ventilation while painting a basement

The hardest room to air out

A Lorelei 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.

What affects the cost of basement painting in Lorelei in Edmonton?

Square footage, layout and new-drywall priming

The cost in Albany, Athlone, Baranow 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.
