Legal suite drywall in Elboya, 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 Elboya we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Elboya is a mature SE Calgary community where settling cracks and dated texture are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Elboya, Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Elboya?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Elboya 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 Elboya

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 Elboya suite passes.

Our Elboya legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

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

Fire, sound and moisture in a Elboya suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Common legal suite situations in Elboya

Elboya homes have often been renovated more than once over the decades, so we see everything from original lath-and-plaster to a later drywall retrofit in the same house — we assess which is which before we touch anything, then repair or patch to match whichever surface is actually there. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
