Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in Wedgewood Heights?

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

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.

Can you sequence around the inspections?

That is how it has to be done. Rated and sound assemblies in Wedgewood Heights 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.

What if the inspector fails something?

We ask for the note directly rather than a summary, fix exactly what was cited and re-present. Most failures are specific — an unsealed penetration or an untaped rated joint — and working from the actual wording avoids fixing the wrong thing.

Will the assemblies cost me ceiling height?

Yes. A rated, sound-dampened ceiling with resilient channel and two layers takes more height than a simple boarded one. In a tight Wedgewood Heights basement we tell you what each option costs so the trade is deliberate.

Penetrations: the part that fails inspections

Every hole is a path

Electrical boxes, plumbing, ducting and pot lights all pierce a rated Wedgewood Heights 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.

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 Wedgewood Heights 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.
