What affects the cost of basement drywall in Olde Towne?

Linear footage, board type and layout

The cost in Olde Towne comes down to total linear footage of framed wall, the number of bulkheads and mechanical chases, and board type. We measure on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Legal suite requirements in Olde Towne

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the ceiling needs 5/8″ Type X fire-rated board and party walls need soundproof board — we spec this before we board, not after inspection flags it.

Our Olde Towne basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping first

We walk the basement and map every surface before we spec materials — exterior walls get moisture-resistant, suite ceilings get fire-rated, party walls get soundproof.

Boarding, taping and mudding to Level 4 throughout

Every seam, corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4, including bulkheads and beam wraps, so your Olde Towne basement looks consistent floor to ceiling.

Basement board types used in Olde Towne homes

Standard board for interior partitions

Standard 1/2″ drywall is correct for interior basement partition walls with no moisture exposure in Olde Towne.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated where it matters

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board, legal suite ceilings need fire-rated board, and party walls benefit from soundproof board — the difference is audible in your Olde Towne basement.

Common basement drywall situations in Olde Towne

Completing a partial basement finish

Partially finished basements — one room boarded, one not — are common. We complete the finish to Level 4 throughout so it reads as one space.
