Legal suite drywall in Kensington, 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 Kensington we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Kensington is this established Northwest community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Kensington, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Our Kensington legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Kensington 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 Kensington suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Kensington drywall in context

About Kensington

Kensington was annexed to the City in 1913 during a real estate boom but most development didn't occur until the 1950s.

What we see in Kensington

In Kensington 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.

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Kensington depends on the suite size and the rated assemblies — the fire separation, sound walls and moisture-resistant areas all add to a plain basement finish. We price off the suite layout and the spec.

Built to pass in Kensington

Suite conversions are common here, and the drywall is a big part of passing inspection. We build the fire and sound assemblies to the City of Edmonton suite spec so your Kensington suite passes.

Common legal suite situations in Kensington

Basement conversions

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