Legal suite drywall in Dovercourt, built to the suite spec

A legal secondary suite has to meet the City of Edmonton spec to pass inspection — fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor, sound-dampened party walls and moisture-resistant board where it is needed. In Dovercourt we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Dovercourt is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Dovercourt, Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Downtown and Central, 7 days a week.

Our Dovercourt legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Dovercourt the key element is the fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor — we install the required Type X ceiling assembly to spec.

Sound, moisture and finish

We add sound-dampening to the party walls so the suite and main floor are not living in each other's noise, moisture-resistant board in the bathroom and wet areas, then tape and finish everything flat. The finished Dovercourt suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Basement conversions

Most Dovercourt suite drywall is a basement conversion — turning an unfinished or dated basement into a code-compliant secondary suite. We handle the fire, sound and moisture drywall as one job.

New builds with suites

On new Dovercourt builds designed with a legal suite, we board and finish the suite to spec alongside the main home. See our basement drywall page.
