Gary, sanding taped seamsOwner-led work
Start with the stage your room is at.
A basement that still needs walls has a different scope from a room that is already boarded. Tell Gary what is complete, what needs to be done and whether you are arranging other trades. Your estimate can then address the work you actually need.
Your enquiry goes to Gary, the person quoting and doing the work. GEM’s existing project photos below show the stages involved.
Services
From an open basement to walls ready for primer.
For Milton homeowners and renovators, GEM can take on the drywall and finishing stages together or discuss a defined part of the job.

Joint taping, compound coats, corner work and sanding to prepare drywall for primer and paint. Existing boarded rooms can be assessed too.
Framing and insulation
Interior and basement framing, batt insulation and vapour barrier are available when your renovation needs the stages before boarding.
Popcorn ceiling removal
Discuss removing the existing texture and refinishing the ceiling. Photos help Gary assess its condition and clarify the preparation involved.

Before your estimate
Help Gary understand the work.
- For an open basement: include photos of the framing, ceiling and bulkheads, plus the proposed wall layout if you have one.
- For boarded rooms: show the joints, corners and any unfinished areas so Gary can assess the taping and finishing scope.
- For ceilings: include a wide room photo and a close-up of the existing surface. Mention the room height and whether it is furnished.
A photo enquiry starts the conversation. Gary confirms the scope, whether a site visit is needed, and the estimate and scheduling details directly.
