About This Service

Finishing a basement is one of the highest-value home improvements in Utah, and drywall is the phase that transforms a framed shell into livable space. We hang, tape, and finish basement drywall to the same standard as above-grade rooms — using moisture-resistant board on exterior walls as a precaution against Utah's occasional basement moisture events — and handle ceiling, soffits, and stairwells as part of the scope.

Our Process

01

Assess the Framing

We verify framing is complete, blocking is in place for accessories, and rough-in inspections are done.

02

Select Board Type

Standard 1/2" board for interior partitions; moisture-resistant board on exterior concrete-adjacent walls.

03

Hang & Screw

Panels hung on walls and ceiling — ceiling first, walls second, on correct framing spacing.

04

Tape & Mud

All seams and fasteners taped and finished in multiple coats — stairwells and soffits included.

05

Sand & Deliver

Final sand, ready for texture and paint — or we complete those phases and deliver a finished basement.

Basement Drywall Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

For interior basement partitions between rooms and around utility areas, standard 1/2" drywall is fine. For walls directly against the concrete foundation or within a few feet of exterior grade, we use moisture-resistant (green or purple board) as a precaution, and bathrooms in basements get cement board or purple board behind tile.

Yes — basement ceiling drywall is included in our installation. Basement ceilings often have mechanical systems running across them (HVAC ducts, plumbing, electrical), requiring precise cuts and soffits to conceal them, and we handle all of these details as part of the scope.

In most Utah cities, finishing a basement requires a building permit. The drywall phase usually requires a framing inspection sign-off before board is hung, and we work within whatever permit process your city requires and can provide documentation of our work for inspection purposes.
