Do you do legal suite drywall in Gateway?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Gateway is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Williamstown and every Calgary quadrant.

Does the drywall help the suite pass inspection in Gateway?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling separation, sound-dampened walls and moisture-resistant board are all code requirements for a Gateway legal suite, and we build them to the City of Calgary spec.

Do you build the fire and sound separation?

Yes — the fire-rated suite-to-main-floor ceiling and sound-dampened party walls are core to a legal suite, and we install both to spec.

Can you do the whole suite drywall as one job?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Gateway home, coordinated with your other trades.

Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in Gateway?

Yes. We build to the suite spec and walk the finished Gateway suite with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Does a Gateway secondary suite need fire-rated drywall?

Often yes, depending on the specific suite layout and separation requirements. We install Type X fire-rated board where the project calls for it and can talk through what your Gateway suite needs before we quote.

Legal Suite Drywall Gateway Airdrie

Legal suite drywall in Gateway, 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 Gateway we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Gateway is a Airdrie community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Gateway and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Gateway?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Gateway 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 Gateway

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 Gateway suite passes.

Our Gateway legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

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

Fire, sound and moisture in a Gateway suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite is finished flat and paint-ready. See our fire-rated drywall and soundproofing pages for the assemblies involved.

Common legal suite situations in Gateway

Gateway is a mixed-use Airdrie area where we handle both residential drywall repair in the surrounding homes and boarding/taping for renovation and build-out projects nearby, including fire-rated and acoustic board where multi-unit code requires it. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
