Can you handle the whole Morinville suite drywall as one job?

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

Do you do legal suite drywall in Morinville?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Morinville is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Edmonton and Edmonton.

Will you construct the required Morinville fire and sound assemblies?

Yes — a Morinville legal suite lives on its rated ceiling and dampened party walls, and we build both to spec.

Do you work from my permit drawings?

Yes, and we would rather see them before quoting. The assemblies are a specification, not a preference, and the drawings decide the board, the layers and the joint treatment. If what is specified does not match what is on site, we tell you before boarding.

What makes suite drywall different from ordinary basement drywall?

Two things: a fire separation between the dwelling units and a sound assembly between them. Both are specified on your approved Morinville drawings, and both are inspected before they are covered. Ordinary basement finishing has neither requirement.

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

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

Legal suite drywall in Morinville, 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 Morinville we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Morinville is an Edmonton community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Morinville, Edmonton and Edmonton, 7 days a week.

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.

Sound between units, honestly

What you should expect

A properly built assembly makes normal speech between an Morinville 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.

Finish level for a rental

Durable beats showy

A Morinville 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.

Flanking paths around the separation

Sound goes around walls

Even a well-built Morinville 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.

Common legal suite situations in Morinville

In Morinville, morinville has a genuine mix of older and newer homes (about 47% pre-1991, 45% since 2000), so we see both plaster and stipple repair and new-build basement development. We cover Morinville 7 days a week. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

Penetrations: the part that fails inspections

Every hole is a path

Electrical boxes, plumbing, ducting and pot lights all pierce a rated Morinville assembly. Unsealed, each one is a route for fire and smoke and a leak for sound.

Sequencing with trades

Firestopping happens before the finish. We coordinate so penetrations are made and sealed before we tape, rather than cutting into a finished rated ceiling later and leaving it open behind the paint.
