Basement drywall and finishing in University Heights, done to spec

The drywall decides a University Heights basement build: right board against the foundation, sound assemblies for any suite, and a finish that is flat and ready for paint. In University Heights we board, tape, mud and finish basement development to Level 4 or 5. University Heights is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so basement work here is steady. We cover University Heights, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in University Heights?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in University Heights 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 University Heights

Basement development is a steady call here, and we put the right board where the plan and code require it. Basement development is common in University Heights, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our University Heights basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In University Heights 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.

Taping, mud and the finish

Your University Heights basement gets taped, mudded in fully-dried coats and sanded to a flat Level 4 or 5 — light-checked before paint. A lot of our University Heights work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Legal suites and basement development in University Heights

Straight development

Legal suite conversions

In University Heights basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.
