Legal suite drywall in Cityscape, built to the suite spec

Legal suite drywall in Cityscape, built to the suite spec

A legal secondary suite has to meet the City of Calgary 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 Cityscape we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Cityscape is one of NE Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Cityscape, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Cityscape?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Cityscape depends on the suite size and the rated assemblies — the fire separation, sound walls and moisture-resistant areas all add to a plain basement finish. We price off the suite layout and the spec.

Built to pass in Cityscape

Suite conversions are common here, and the drywall is a big part of passing inspection. We build the fire and sound assemblies to the City of Calgary suite spec so your Cityscape suite passes. In Cityscape basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Our Cityscape legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Cityscape 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. The result is a Cityscape suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cityscape, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Cityscape suite

Fire and sound separation

A Cityscape legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. We build both into the Cityscape drywall.

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite finishes flat and paint-ready. See our Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary pages for the Cityscape assemblies involved.

Common legal suite situations in Cityscape

In Cityscape, cityscape is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

What to expect from legal suite drywall in Cityscape

Because the homes in Cityscape are still new, most of what we find is first-season movement rather than damage — hairline cracks at corners and the odd nail pop as the framing dries out.

In Cityscape we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.

Basements in Cityscape run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
