Do you do legal suite drywall in Windsor Park?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Windsor Park is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

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 Windsor Park drawings, and both are inspected before they are covered. Ordinary basement finishing has neither requirement.

Is the full Windsor Park suite — all the drywall — one job for you?

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

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 Windsor Park basement we tell you what each option costs so the trade is deliberate.

Can you sequence around the inspections?

That is how it has to be done. Rated and sound assemblies in Windsor Park 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.

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 in Windsor Park, 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 Windsor Park we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Windsor Park is one of Scona's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Windsor Park, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 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 Windsor Park 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.

Windsor Park drywall in context

About Windsor Park

In 1882, the area that is now Windsor Park was owned and farmed by Allan Omand.

What we see in Windsor Park

In Windsor Park the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. 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 Windsor Park 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.

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.

Finish level for a rental

Durable beats showy

A Windsor Park 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.

Sound between units, honestly

What you should expect

A properly built assembly makes normal speech between an Windsor Park 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.

The suite entry and the stair enclosure

Often the weak point

The door and stair connecting an Windsor Park suite to the rest of the house is frequently where both the fire separation and the sound separation are least complete.

Detailing it

The enclosure has to carry the rating through, and the door is specified. It is also the single biggest sound leak in most suites, because a door is a door.
