Legal suite drywall in Secord, 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 Secord we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Secord 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 Secord, Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and West Henday, 7 days a week.

Our Secord legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

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