Renovating a basement? One of the biggest challenges is getting drywall sheets downstairs safely. Without the proper steps, you risk damaging your walls, floors, and even the drywall itself.
In this quick guide, we’ll show you how to deliver drywall to a basement without damaging your home, plus how Reno Materials simplifies drywall basement delivery in Toronto and the GTA.
Why is Basement Drywall Delivery Difficult?
Drywall sheets are heavy and awkward, especially in tight stairwells or older Toronto homes with narrow hallways. Many homeowners accidentally scratch the walls, chip paint, or dent corners while trying to move drywall to the basement.
Step-by-Step: Delivering Drywall Safely
1. Measure First
Before anything, measure stairwells, doorways, and basement height. If space is limited, opt for smaller drywall sizes like 4 ‘ x8’ sheets instead of 4 ‘ x12’.
2. Clear the Way
Remove rugs, furniture, or any clutter along the delivery path. This reduces the risk of tripping or scraping walls.
3. Protect Your Home
Use moving blankets or foam padding to cover:
– Door frames
– Stair railings
– Finished flooring
Lay floor runners to prevent scratches and dirt from the drywall.
4. Use Proper Equipment
Use drywall panel carriers or stair-friendly dollies for heavy sheets. These tools make moving drywall safer and easier, especially on stairs.
5. Consider Basement Window Access
If your basement has a large enough window, passing drywall sheets directly through it might be easier than using the stairs.
