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

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Fireside?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Fireside 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 Fireside

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 Fireside suite passes. Housing in Fireside is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Our Fireside legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Fireside 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 Fireside suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home. Housing in Fireside is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Fireside suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Common legal suite situations in Fireside

In Fireside, fireside is a residential neighbourhood in Cochrane. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
