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.

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

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

Do you combine the Trumpeter Area drywall and painting into one job?

Yes — that is how most basement projects in Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury work with us. One quote covers boarding, finishing and painting.

Can you do the Trumpeter Area drywall and painting as one job?

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

Do you stand behind your basement painting in Trumpeter 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.

Should the basement ceiling be white?

Usually yes. A Trumpeter Area 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.

Ceiling colour matters more down here

Reflecting what little light there is

A Trumpeter 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.

Utility areas and the mechanical room

Decide what gets finished

Many Trumpeter 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 Trumpeter 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.

Painting new board in a basement

Fresh compound everywhere

A newly developed Trumpeter Area 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.
