Legal suite drywall in Fairways, 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 Fairways we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Fairways is an established Airdrie community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Fairways and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Fairways?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Fairways 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 Fairways

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

Our Fairways legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Fairways 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 finished Fairways suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Fairways suite

Fire and sound separation

A Fairways legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. The Fairways drywall carries both.

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For Fairways assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Fairways, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.

What we tend to find in Fairways

In Fairways we see original finishes and recent renovations on the same block, so the legal suite drywall is scoped per house, not per postcode.

Removal is a frequent request in Fairways, and the age of the ceiling decides how the work is approached rather than how it is priced.

Where Fairways still has stipple, we check how many coats are already on it before deciding whether to match it or take it back.
