Do you paint basements in Magrath Heights?

Yes — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

Less natural light, and what there is comes from small high windows. A shade that reads warm upstairs often reads grey down here. Test the actual colour on the actual wall and look at it after dark under the lights you will use.

Prime fresh board properly

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

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 Magrath Heights 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.

Ceiling colour matters more down here

Reflecting what little light there is

A Magrath Heights 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.

Our Magrath Heights 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 Magrath Heights basement.

Ventilation while painting a basement

The hardest room to air out

A Magrath Heights 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.
