Basement drywall and finishing in Old Town, done to spec

Basement drywall and finishing in Old Town, done to spec

An Old Town basement development lives or dies on the drywall — correct board on exterior walls, sound assemblies where a suite is involved, and a flat, paint-ready finish. In Old Town we board, tape, mud and finish basement development to Level 4 or 5. Old Town is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so basement work here is steady. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Old Town?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Old Town depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.

Basement development in Old Town

Basement development is a steady call here, and we put the right board where the plan and code require it. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Our Old Town basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Old Town we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

Tape, mud and finish

We tape the Old Town basement, apply mud coats with full drying time, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5, checking under light before the paint hand-off. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Legal suites and basement development in Old Town

Straight development

Most basement calls in Old Town are straightforward development — rec room, bedrooms, bathroom — boarded and finished to a clean Level 4.

Legal suite conversions

When an Old Town basement is becoming a legal suite, we add the fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls the City of Calgary spec requires. See Legal Suite Drywall Calgary.

Common basement drywall situations in Old Town

In Old Town, old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

Why Old Town homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

Spec done right

Fixed price, on schedule

We do basement drywall across Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week. Free on-site Old Town quotes and fixed prices, and we stand behind the work.
