Legal suite drywall in Crawford Ranch, 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 Crawford Ranch we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Crawford Ranch is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Crawford Ranch and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Crawford Ranch?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Crawford Ranch 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 Crawford Ranch

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 Crawford Ranch suite passes.

Our Crawford Ranch legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Crawford Ranch 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 suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Crawford Ranch suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite is finished flat and paint-ready. See our fire-rated drywall and soundproofing pages for the assemblies involved.

Common legal suite situations in Crawford Ranch

Crawford Ranch is one of Cochrane's newer communities, so our work here is mostly fresh boarding and taping for new builds, basement development in the walkout lots, and Level 5 skim coats for owners upgrading their builder-grade finish. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

Does the drywall help the suite pass inspection in Crawford Ranch?

Do you build the fire and sound separation?
Yes — the fire-rated suite-to-main-floor ceiling and sound-dampened party walls are core to a legal suite, and we install both to spec.
Can you do the whole suite drywall as one job?

Our Crawford Ranch builder walls have visible seams under natural light -- is that normal?
It's common with a standard Level 4 builder finish. We skim-coat over it to a true Level 5 so the seams disappear even under strong window light -- a popular upgrade in Crawford Ranch's newer builds.
