Legal suite drywall in Cornerstone, built to the suite spec

Legal suite drywall in Cornerstone, 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 Cornerstone we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Cornerstone?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone

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 Cornerstone suite passes.

Our Cornerstone legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Cornerstone 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 finished Cornerstone suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable. Orange peel is common on Cornerstone walls, and the spray tip and timing matter more than the mud for getting it to disappear.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Cornerstone suite

Fire and sound separation

A Cornerstone legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. The Cornerstone drywall carries both.

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For Cornerstone assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. A lot of our Cornerstone work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common legal suite situations in Cornerstone

In Cornerstone, cornerstone is a community built out in the 2000s. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

In Cornerstone

What legal suite drywall usually involves in Cornerstone

Cornerstone spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the legal suite drywall rather than after.

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

Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cornerstone, which means the repair is judged on texture match as much as on whether the surface is flat.
