Drywall Quote

[funkytuqe]

I ended up going through Calgary Renewals. Fair price and they did a great job.

Developed 860 sq ft of living space in a 1050sq ft walkout basement and used approx 2700 sq ft of drywall, half basement had 9 foot ceilings and a stairwell. Cost to me, including mud/tape, drywall, labour and textured ceiling was $4800 cash. Guy worked by himself and took 2 weeks but did an awesome job. Had 2 other quotes coming in up to $6500. All my quotes came from Kijiji advertising companies.

When the texture guys showed up to do the ceiling they commented on how great it looked and said it could be painted vs textured!

Developed my basement approximately 1000 sq feet was developed.

Drywall boarded myself and with the help of a few friends. Paid a guy I knew (that only works for builders about 1250 to come mid and tape. Was impressed the drywall was boarded so well.

A good mud/tape guy is a must. Can't stress this enough!

All in all did my full basement with a premium carpet and a 500 gallon fish tank for about 8-9 k

Nice. I'm thinking the time it will take me to board (planning to do ceiling as well) will be worth the labour cost to me. Also worried about doing a subpar job and having to pay someone to demo and redo the work.

How much was just the carpet, if you don't mind me asking?

11k sounded pretty high to me too based on conversations I've had/have with my contractor clientele. Jerry's a good guy, I used to do cleanups for him years ago. I've seen his work, sounds like you made the right choice!

Why can't i find people that will do my 622 square feet basement for under $ 12,000?
I'm getting quotes for $20,000 plus.
