Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in Suder Greens?

Yes. We build to the suite spec and walk the finished Suder Greens suite with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

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

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

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.

What makes suite drywall different from ordinary basement drywall?

Two things: a fire separation between the dwelling units and a sound assembly between them. Both are specified on your approved Suder Greens drawings, and both are inspected before they are covered. Ordinary basement finishing has neither requirement.

Does the drywall help the suite pass inspection in Suder Greens?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling separation, sound-dampened walls and moisture-resistant board are all code requirements for an Suder Greens legal suite, and we build them to the City of Edmonton spec.

How much sound separation will a suite actually get?

Enough that normal speech between the units is not intelligible, when the assembly on the drawings is built properly and the perimeters are sealed. It will not be silent, and footstep noise is the hardest part. We would rather set that expectation now.

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

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 Suder Greens 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.

Suder Greens drywall in context

About Suder Greens

Suder Greens is a newer residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

What we see in Suder Greens

In Suder Greens the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Mechanical rooms and shared services

A shared furnace complicates things

Where an Suder 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.

Our Suder Greens legal suite drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Fire separation first

In Suder Greens 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. An Suder Greens suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome.

Penetrations: the part that fails inspections

Every hole is a path

Electrical boxes, plumbing, ducting and pot lights all pierce a rated Suder Greens assembly. Unsealed, each one is a route for fire and smoke and a leak for sound.

Sequencing with trades

Firestopping happens before the finish. We coordinate so penetrations are made and sealed before we tape, rather than cutting into a finished rated ceiling later and leaving it open behind the paint.

Sequencing around your inspections

Inspected before covered

Rated and sound assemblies in Suder Greens are checked before the finish goes on. That sets the order of work, not the other way round.

How we plan it

We board and firestop to suit your inspection date rather than working ahead. If an inspection slips, we would rather pause than cover something the inspector needs to see.

Finish level for a rental

Durable beats showy

A Suder Greens suite is a rental. A sound Level 4 finish, good corner bead and a hard-wearing paint will look better in three years than a high finish level that gets knocked.

Where to spend instead

Better corners, moisture-resistant board where it matters, and the sound assembly. Those are what a tenant experiences daily and what a landlord stops getting calls about.
