Legal suite drywall in Somerset, 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 Somerset we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Somerset is an established SW Calgary community where basement development and reno drywall are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Somerset, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Somerset?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Somerset 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 Somerset

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

Our Somerset legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Somerset 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 Somerset suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Somerset suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For Somerset assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. Housing in Somerset is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Common legal suite situations in Somerset

In Somerset, in Somerset the typical work is taking down dated textured ceilings, repairing settling cracks and nail pops, and closing up walls neatly after Poly-B repipes, all texture-matched so the finish looks untouched. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
