Legal suite drywall in Sierra Springs, 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 Sierra Springs we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Sierra Springs is a newer Airdrie community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Sierra Springs and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Sierra Springs?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Sierra Springs 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 Sierra Springs

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 Sierra Springs suite passes. In Sierra Springs basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Our Sierra Springs legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Sierra Springs 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 Sierra Springs suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome. In Sierra Springs basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Sierra Springs suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Finish and wet zones

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