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

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

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

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

Does your Ritchie work include the fire and sound separation?

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

Ritchie drywall in context

About Ritchie

Ritchie is a residential neighbourhood in south east Edmonton, developed during the immediate post-war period.

What we see in Ritchie

In Ritchie 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.

Our Ritchie legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Ritchie 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 Ritchie suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Ritchie?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Ritchie 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 Ritchie

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 Ritchie suite passes.

Common legal suite situations in Ritchie

Basement conversions

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