Legal suite drywall in Southwest Edmonton, 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 Southwest Edmonton we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Southwest Edmonton 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 Southwest Edmonton, Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh and Southwest Edmonton, 7 days a week.

Our Southwest Edmonton legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

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