Legal suite drywall in Mahogany, 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 Mahogany we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Mahogany is one of SE Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston, Seton and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Mahogany?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Mahogany 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 Mahogany

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 Mahogany suite passes.

Our Mahogany legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Mahogany 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 Mahogany: an inspection-passing suite that lives like a real home. A lot of our Mahogany work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Mahogany suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Wet areas and finish

Moisture-resistant board covers bathrooms and wet zones; the suite finishes flat, ready for paint. The Mahogany assemblies are covered on Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Mahogany, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Common legal suite situations in Mahogany

In Mahogany, mahogany is a community built out in the 2000s. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

Mahogany: what shapes the job

Housing in Mahogany is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different legal suite drywall work.

A lot of the work in Mahogany starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
