Legal suite drywall in Edgewater, 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 Edgewater we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Edgewater is a newer Airdrie community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Edgewater and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Edgewater?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Edgewater 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 Edgewater

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 Edgewater suite passes. Basement development is common in Edgewater, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our Edgewater legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Edgewater 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 an Edgewater suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home.

Fire, sound and moisture in an Edgewater suite

Fire and sound separation

An Edgewater legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. We build both into the Edgewater 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 Edgewater assemblies involved. A lot of our Edgewater work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Edgewater: what shapes the job

Housing in Edgewater is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different legal suite drywall work.

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