Do you paint legal suite basements?

Yes — after inspection of the rated and sound assemblies, the The Orchards At Ellerslie suite gets primed and painted to a livable standard.

Will you handle both drywall and paint in my The Orchards At Ellerslie basement?

Yes — that is how most basement projects in The Orchards At Ellerslie work with us. One quote covers boarding, finishing and painting.

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.

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.

How quickly does paint follow finished drywall in The Orchards At Ellerslie?

Fully cured mud first — verified on The Orchards At Ellerslie jobs before priming — or the paint fails prematurely.

Should the basement ceiling be white?

Usually yes. A The Orchards At Ellerslie basement ceiling is lower and closer to the eye and is doing real work bouncing artificial light around. Bright flat white makes it feel taller; a dark ceiling photographs well and makes most real basements feel smaller.

Trim, doors and the suite question

More trim than you think

A finished The Orchards At Ellerslie basement typically has more doors and more casing per square foot than the main floor — storage, mechanical, bathroom, bedrooms.

If it is a suite

Durability matters more than finish level. Semi-gloss on trim and a washable wall sheen will look better in three years than a beautiful flat that cannot be cleaned.
