Legal suite drywall in Erlton, 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 Erlton we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Erlton is an established SE Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Erlton, Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Legal Suite Drywall Erlton

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Erlton?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Erlton 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 Erlton

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 Erlton suite passes. Erlton spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Our Erlton legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Erlton 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. What you end with in Erlton: an inspection-passing suite that lives like a real home. In Erlton we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire, sound and moisture in an Erlton suite

Fire and sound separation

An Erlton legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. Both go into the Erlton build.

Wet areas and finish

Moisture-resistant board covers bathrooms and wet zones; the suite finishes flat, ready for paint. The Erlton assemblies are covered on Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary.

Common legal suite situations in Erlton

In Erlton, character homes in Erlton tend to have settled unevenly over many decades, so wall and ceiling lines are rarely perfectly straight — we work with the house rather than fighting it, patching and skimming so repairs sit flush without chasing a plumb line the original build never had. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.
