Do you do legal suite drywall in Shaganappi?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Shaganappi is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant.

Does the drywall help the suite pass inspection in Shaganappi?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling separation, sound-dampened walls and moisture-resistant board are all code requirements for a Shaganappi legal suite, and we build them to the City of Calgary spec.

Will you construct the required Shaganappi fire and sound assemblies?

Yes — a Shaganappi legal suite lives on its rated ceiling and dampened party walls, and we build both to spec.

Is the full Shaganappi suite — all the drywall — one job for you?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Shaganappi home, coordinated with your other trades.

Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in Shaganappi?

Yes. We build to the suite spec and walk the finished Shaganappi suite with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Is it worth keeping the original plaster in our Shaganappi character home, or should we just replace it with drywall?

Depends on the damage — small areas are usually cheaper and more true-to-character to repair in place; if a whole wall is failing, replacing with drywall and matching the surrounding texture is often the better long-term call. We'll tell you honestly which applies.

Legal Suite Drywall Shaganappi Calgary

Legal suite drywall in Shaganappi, 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 Shaganappi we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Shaganappi is one of NW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Shaganappi, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Shaganappi?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Shaganappi 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 Shaganappi

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 Shaganappi suite passes.

Our Shaganappi legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Shaganappi 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. The finished Shaganappi suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Shaganappi suite

Fire and sound separation

A Shaganappi legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. The Shaganappi drywall carries both.

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For Shaganappi assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary.

Common legal suite situations in Shaganappi

A lot of our Shaganappi calls come from owners partway through a renovation who have opened up a wall and found old plaster, horsehair lath, or a mix of both — we can patch back into it or remove and replace with modern board, whichever suits the rest of the room.
