Legal suite drywall in Mactaggart, 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 Mactaggart we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Mactaggart is one of Whitemud's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Mactaggart, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Our Mactaggart legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Mactaggart 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. A Mactaggart suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome.
