Legal suite drywall in Oakridge, 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 Oakridge we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Oakridge is an established SW Calgary community of 1970s homes with stipple ceilings and crack repair common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Oakridge, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Oakridge?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Oakridge 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 Oakridge

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 Oakridge suite passes. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Oakridge, often with several layers from past repairs.

Our Oakridge legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Oakridge 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 Oakridge: an inspection-passing suite that lives like a real home. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Oakridge, often with several layers from past repairs.

Fire, sound and moisture in an Oakridge suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Wet areas and finish

Moisture-resistant board covers bathrooms and wet zones; the suite finishes flat, ready for paint. The Oakridge assemblies are covered on Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Oakridge, often with several layers from past repairs.

Common legal suite situations in Oakridge

In Oakridge, oakridge's original stipple ceilings are a common target for our crews — we scrape and skim them to a smooth flat finish in a day or two per room, then match the wall texture around the room's perimeter so the transition disappears. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
