Basement painting in Capitol Hill, from the crew that boards and finishes it

Paint is the last step of a Capitol Hill basement build, and it can only be as good as the drywall beneath. In Capitol Hill we board, tape and finish the basement, then prime and paint it — the trusted local professionals, start to finish. Capitol Hill is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so basement projects here are common. We cover Capitol Hill, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of basement painting in Capitol Hill?

Square footage, layout and new-drywall priming

The cost in Capitol Hill depends on total square footage, how many rooms and bulkheads the layout has, and whether the drywall is brand new (which needs a full primer coat before paint holds properly). We measure on site and give a fixed price first.

Basement projects in Capitol Hill

We regularly quote basement painting alongside the drywall stage as one combined job. In older Capitol Hill houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

One trusted team, drywall then paint, in Capitol Hill

Prime fresh board properly

Unprimed new drywall in Capitol Hill drinks paint unevenly — the finish coat shows it as patchiness. Because we board and finish the basement drywall in Capitol Hill ourselves, we know exactly when it is dry and ready to prime.

No gap between trades

We move from finishing the drywall straight into priming and painting, without waiting on a separate painter's schedule. In older Capitol Hill houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Our Capitol Hill basement painting process, step by step

Confirm the drywall is ready

Whether we boarded it or another contractor did, we confirm the mud is fully cured before we prime — painting over damp compound is the most common reason a basement paint job fails early.

Prime, then finish

We prime the new surface fully, then apply often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections to walls and ceilings, working room by room in your Capitol Hill basement.

Common basement painting situations in Capitol Hill

In Capitol Hill, capitol Hill's vintage housing means we carry a wider kit on every truck here than in a newer community — plaster tools alongside standard drywall gear — since we genuinely do not know which one a given wall will need until we open it up. Same trusted team, same process on every job — on-site quote, fixed price, no surprises.
