Do you do legal suite drywall in Spruce Avenue?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Spruce Avenue is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and North Central.

Is the ceiling or the wall the bigger job?

Usually the ceiling. It carries the fire separation, most of the sound transmission and all the mechanical running between floors, so it needs the most coordination with other trades.

Can you sequence around the inspections?

That is how it has to be done. Rated and sound assemblies in Spruce Avenue are inspected before finish covers them, so we board and firestop to suit your inspection date rather than closing something the inspector needs to see.

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.

Can the entire Spruce Avenue suite drywall run as a single contract?

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

Do you build the Spruce Avenue fire and sound separation?

Yes — the fire-rated suite-to-main ceiling and sound-dampened party walls are core to an Spruce Avenue legal suite, and we install both to spec.

Legal suite drywall in Spruce Avenue, 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 Spruce Avenue we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Spruce Avenue is an North Central community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Spruce Avenue, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and North Central, 7 days a week.

What we hand over at the end

Photographs of what got covered

Assemblies get buried. We photograph the rated and sound work before boarding so there is a record of what is behind the finish.

Why it matters later

When an Spruce Avenue suite is sold, refinanced or re-inspected, being able to show what was built is worth having. It costs us minutes and it has saved clients real arguments.

Sound between units, honestly

What you should expect

A properly built assembly makes normal speech between an Spruce Avenue 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.

Mechanical rooms and shared services

A shared furnace complicates things

Where an Spruce Avenue suite shares mechanical with the main house, the mechanical room itself usually needs enclosure and the ductwork needs treatment.

Why we raise it early

It affects both the fire separation and how much sound travels between units. It is also a question for your mechanical contractor as much as for us, and it is cheaper answered at planning than at inspection.

Fire, sound and moisture in an Spruce Avenue suite

Fire and sound separation

An Spruce Avenue legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. Both assemblies are built into the Spruce Avenue drywall.

Finish and wet zones

Bathrooms get moisture-resistant board; everything finishes flat and paint-ready. Spruce Avenue readers can dig into Fire-Rated Drywall Edmonton and Soundproofing Edmonton for the assemblies.

Bathrooms and kitchens in the suite

Wet rooms need the right board

A suite bathroom and kitchen need moisture-resistant board and proper detailing behind tile and around the tub or shower.

Ventilation

We also check the fan actually vents outside. In Spruce Avenue conversions it is not unusual to find one ducted into the attic or a joist space, and in a suite that runs every day it becomes a mould problem quickly.
