Legal suite drywall in Riversong, 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 Riversong we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Riversong is a newer riverside Cochrane community where finishing and basement development are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Riversong and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Riversong?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Riversong 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 Riversong

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 Riversong suite passes. Riversong spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Our Riversong legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Riversong 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 Riversong: an inspection-passing suite that lives like a real home.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Riversong suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Wet areas and finish

Moisture-resistant board covers bathrooms and wet zones; the suite finishes flat, ready for paint. The Riversong assemblies are covered on Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. Riversong spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common legal suite situations in Riversong

In Riversong, riversong is a residential neighbourhood in Cochrane. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
