Legal suite drywall in Satoo, 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 Satoo we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Satoo is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Satoo, Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove and Mill Woods and Meadows, 7 days a week.

Common legal suite situations in Satoo

Converting Satoo basements

The typical suite job takes an unfinished or aging basement to a fully code-compliant secondary suite. We handle the fire, sound and moisture drywall as one job.

New builds with suites

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

About Satoo

Named for a Cree chief, the Mill Woods area was a Cree reserve between 1876-1891.

What we see in Satoo

In Satoo 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.

Fire, sound and moisture in an Satoo suite

Fire and sound separation

An Satoo legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. We build both into the Satoo drywall.

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite finishes flat and paint-ready. See our Fire-Rated Drywall Edmonton and Soundproofing Edmonton pages for the Satoo assemblies involved.

Our Satoo legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

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