Can you handle the whole Stewart Greens suite drywall as one job?

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

Is the ceiling or the wall the bigger job in a suite?

Usually the ceiling, because it carries both the fire separation and most of the sound transmission between units. It is also where the mechanical runs and penetrations are, so it needs the most coordination with the other trades.

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

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

Will you construct the required Stewart Greens fire and sound assemblies?

Yes — a Stewart Greens legal suite lives on its rated ceiling and dampened party walls, and we build both to spec.

Can the entire Stewart Greens suite drywall run as a single contract?

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

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.

Legal Suite Drywall Stewart Greens Edmonton | Suite Drywall

Legal suite drywall in Stewart Greens, 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 Stewart Greens we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Stewart Greens is an West Henday community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Stewart Greens, Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and West Henday, 7 days a week.

Working from the approved drawings

We want to see them first

The board type, the number of layers and the joint treatment are all specified. Quoting a suite without the drawings is quoting a guess.

When site does not match paper

If what is framed does not match what was approved, we say so before boarding. Discovering it at inspection means opening a finished assembly, which is the expensive version of the same conversation.

Ceiling height and what it costs you

Assemblies take space

A rated, sound-dampened Stewart Greens basement ceiling with resilient channel and two layers of board takes more height than a simple boarded ceiling.

The trade-off

In a basement where headroom is already tight, every assembly decision costs ceiling height. We tell you what each option takes so the trade is made deliberately rather than discovered when the drywall is up.

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 Stewart Greens 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.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Stewart Greens suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Finish and wet zones

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

If the inspection does not pass

We want the note

Most Stewart Greens suite failures are specific: an unsealed penetration, an untaped rated joint, a screw pattern, a missing layer.

How we handle it

We ask for the inspector's note directly rather than a second-hand summary, fix exactly what was cited, and re-present. Working from the actual wording is faster and avoids fixing the wrong thing twice.

Mechanical rooms and shared services

A shared furnace complicates things

Where an Stewart Greens 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.
