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

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Riviera?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Riviera 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 Riviera

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 Riviera suite passes. In Riviera we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Our Riviera legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Riviera 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 Riviera: an inspection-passing suite that lives like a real home. In Riviera we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Riviera suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Wet areas and finish

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

In Riviera, in Riviera we cover the full range of drywall work. We patch, texture-match, prime and paint in one visit so the wall looks completely finished.
