Basement drywall and finishing in Rivercrest, done to spec

A Rivercrest 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 Rivercrest we board, tape, mud and finish basement development to Level 4 or 5. Rivercrest is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so basement work here is steady. We cover Rivercrest and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Rivercrest?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Rivercrest 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 Rivercrest

Basement development is a steady call here, and we put the right board where the plan and code require it. A lot of our Rivercrest work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our Rivercrest basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Rivercrest 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 Rivercrest 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. A lot of our Rivercrest work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Legal suites and basement development in Rivercrest

Straight development

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

Legal suite conversions

When a Rivercrest 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. Basement development is common in Rivercrest, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.
