Will you construct the required Grandview Heights fire and sound assemblies?

Is the full Grandview Heights suite — all the drywall — one job for you?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Grandview Heights home, coordinated with your other trades.

Does your Grandview Heights work include the fire and sound separation?

Yes — we install the Grandview Heights suite’s two core assemblies to spec: fire-rated ceiling, sound-dampened party walls.

Can the entire Grandview Heights suite drywall run as a single contract?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Grandview Heights home, coordinated with your other trades.

Do you do legal suite drywall in Grandview Heights?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Grandview Heights is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

Will the assemblies cost me ceiling height?

Yes. A rated, sound-dampened ceiling with resilient channel and two layers takes more height than a simple boarded one. In a tight Grandview Heights basement we tell you what each option costs so the trade is deliberate.

Secondary suite drywall in Grandview Heights that passes inspection

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 Grandview Heights we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Grandview Heights is an Scona community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Grandview Heights, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

Finish level for a rental

Durable beats showy

A Grandview Heights suite is a rental. A sound Level 4 finish, good corner bead and a hard-wearing paint will look better in three years than a high finish level that gets knocked.

Where to spend instead

Better corners, moisture-resistant board where it matters, and the sound assembly. Those are what a tenant experiences daily and what a landlord stops getting calls about.

Grandview Heights drywall in context

About Grandview Heights

This area was owned by the McCauley family in the 1880s, and the name is likely a reference to its spectacular views of the river valley.

What we see in Grandview Heights

In Grandview Heights the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

The two assemblies a suite lives on

Fire and sound

A legal suite in Grandview Heights depends on a fire separation between the dwelling units and a sound separation between them. They are different requirements built into the same walls and ceilings.

Both are specified

Neither is a matter of preference. Both come off the drawings your permit was issued against, and both are inspected before anything covers them.

Working from the approved drawings

We want to see them first

The board type, the number of layers and the joint treatment are all specified. Quoting a suite without the drawings is quoting a guess.

When site does not match paper

If what is framed does not match what was approved, we say so before boarding. Discovering it at inspection means opening a finished assembly, which is the expensive version of the same conversation.

Flanking paths around the separation

Sound goes around walls

Even a well-built Grandview Heights separation can be undermined by sound travelling through shared framing, a common duct run, or the stairwell.

What we look for

Shared ductwork between units, continuous framing members, and the door at the top of the suite stairs. Fixing the wall while leaving a shared duct open is money spent on the wrong path.

Ceiling height and what it costs you

Assemblies take space

A rated, sound-dampened Grandview Heights basement ceiling with resilient channel and two layers of board takes more height than a simple boarded ceiling.

The trade-off

In a basement where headroom is already tight, every assembly decision costs ceiling height. We tell you what each option takes so the trade is made deliberately rather than discovered when the drywall is up.

Bathrooms and kitchens in the suite

Wet rooms need the right board

A suite bathroom and kitchen need moisture-resistant board and proper detailing behind tile and around the tub or shower.

Ventilation

We also check the fan actually vents outside. In Grandview Heights conversions it is not unusual to find one ducted into the attic or a joist space, and in a suite that runs every day it becomes a mould problem quickly.
