Basement Drywall in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Finishing a basement is one of the most common remodels in Metro Detroit, and drywall is a big part of it. Basements here are cool and often damp, and many older ones have seeped water at some point. Hanging drywall over a wall that still leaks traps moisture and leads to mold.
Fix any water problems first, then frame and insulate, pass inspections, and hang board. Moisture and mold resistant board is common near floors and in bathrooms, and the bottom edge is usually kept slightly off the slab. Ceilings need access panels for shutoffs and cleanouts, and soffits often wrap ducts and pipes. For water problems, talk to basement waterproofing pros before drywall goes up.
What a proper job includes
- Check for active leaks or moisture before work
- Confirmation that framing, insulation and rough inspections are passed
- Moisture and mold resistant board where appropriate
- Board kept off the slab with a gap at the floor
- Soffits wrapped around ducts and beams
- Access panels for valves, cleanouts and shutoffs
- Taping, finishing and cleanup
What drives the price
- Square footage of walls and ceiling
- Soffits, beams and ducts to wrap
- Board type chosen for moisture
- Low ceilings and tight access down stairs
- Finish level and ceiling type (drywall or drop ceiling)
- Bathroom or wet areas needing special board

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Finishing a basement is more than an ordinary repair, so expect a building permit, plus electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits for those trades. Many communities inspect framing, insulation and rough trades before drywall, and have rules on egress for bedrooms. Confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit).
Drywall is not listed as its own Maintenance & Alteration trade by LARA. For paid residential work above a threshold set by state law, look for a LARA Residential Builder license, or ask the contractor which license covers the job, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
