Secondary suite drywall in Michaels Park 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 Michaels Park we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Michaels Park is one of Mill Woods and Meadows's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Michaels Park, Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove and Mill Woods and Meadows, 7 days a week.

Mechanical rooms and shared services

A shared furnace complicates things

Where an Michaels Park suite shares mechanical with the main house, the mechanical room itself usually needs enclosure and the ductwork needs treatment.

Why we raise it early

It affects both the fire separation and how much sound travels between units. It is also a question for your mechanical contractor as much as for us, and it is cheaper answered at planning than at inspection.

Michaels Park drywall in context

About Michaels Park

Michaels Park was named in honour of John Michaels who was involved in community service for 50 years and was best known for his promotion of aviation and the north country.

What we see in Michaels Park

In Michaels Park 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.

What we hand over at the end

Photographs of what got covered

Assemblies get buried. We photograph the rated and sound work before boarding so there is a record of what is behind the finish.

Why it matters later

When an Michaels Park suite is sold, refinanced or re-inspected, being able to show what was built is worth having. It costs us minutes and it has saved clients real arguments.

Sound between units, honestly

What you should expect

A properly built assembly makes normal speech between an Michaels Park suite and the unit above unintelligible, and takes the edge off television.

What it will not do

It will not make it silent, and footstep noise from above is the hardest and most expensive to control. Tenants complain about footsteps more than voices, so this is worth spending on and worth being realistic about.

Ceiling height and what it costs you

Assemblies take space

A rated, sound-dampened Michaels Park 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.

Finish level for a rental

Durable beats showy

A Michaels Park 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.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Michaels Park in Edmonton?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Michaels Park 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 Michaels Park

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 Michaels Park suite passes.
