Legal suite drywall in South Ridge, 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 South Ridge we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. South Ridge is an established Cochrane community where reno and ceiling drywall are typical, so suite conversions are common here. We cover South Ridge and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in South Ridge?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in South Ridge 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 South Ridge

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 South Ridge suite passes.

Our South Ridge legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In South Ridge 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 South Ridge suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Fire, sound and moisture in a South Ridge suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture protection and finishing

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