Legal suite drywall in Crystal Shores, built to the suite spec

A legal secondary suite has to meet the Alberta Building Code 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 Crystal Shores we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Crystal Shores is Okotoks’s only lakeside community, with year-round lake and clubhouse access driving premium home finishes, so our Crystal Shores calls run to Level 5 skim coats and careful texture matching on the larger lake-facing Crystal Shores homes. We cover Crystal Shores and all of Okotoks, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Crystal Shores?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores suite layout and the spec.

Built to pass in Crystal Shores

Suite conversions come up in Crystal Shores, and the drywall is a big part of passing inspection. We build the fire and sound assemblies to the Alberta Building Code suite spec so your Crystal Shores suite passes.

Our Crystal Shores legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Crystal Shores suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture and finish

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