Legal suite drywall in Old Town, built to the suite spec

Legal suite drywall in Old Town, 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 Old Town we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Old Town is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Old Town?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Old Town 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 Old Town

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 Old Town suite passes. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Our Old Town legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Old Town 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 Old Town: an inspection-passing suite that lives like a real home. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Fire, sound and moisture in an Old Town suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Wet areas and finish

Moisture-resistant board covers bathrooms and wet zones; the suite finishes flat, ready for paint. The Old Town assemblies are covered on Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Common legal suite situations in Old Town

In Old Town, old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
