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

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Rivercrest?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Rivercrest 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 Rivercrest

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 Rivercrest suite passes. Basement development is common in Rivercrest, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our Rivercrest legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Rivercrest 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. A Rivercrest suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Rivercrest suite

Fire and sound separation

A Rivercrest legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. Both assemblies are built into the Rivercrest drywall.

Finish and wet zones

Bathrooms get moisture-resistant board; everything finishes flat and paint-ready. Rivercrest readers can dig into Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary for the assemblies. A lot of our Rivercrest work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

How Rivercrest homes affect the work

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

Basements in Rivercrest run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
