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

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Southwinds?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Southwinds 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 Southwinds

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

Our Southwinds legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Southwinds 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 result is a Southwinds suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Southwinds suite

Fire and sound separation

A Southwinds legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. We build both into the Southwinds drywall.

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite finishes flat and paint-ready. See our Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary pages for the Southwinds assemblies involved. Housing in Southwinds is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.
