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.

Yes — after inspection of the rated and sound assemblies, the Riverview Area suite gets primed and painted to a livable standard.

Do you stand behind your basement painting in Riverview Area?

Yes. We walk the finished Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury basement with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

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

Will you handle both drywall and paint in my Riverview Area basement?

Our Riverview Area 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 often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections to walls and ceilings, working room by room in your Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury basement.

Utility areas and the mechanical room

Decide what gets finished

Many Riverview Area 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.

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 Riverview Area 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 Riverview Area 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.
