Legal suite drywall in The Summit of Riversong, 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 The Summit of Riversong we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. The Summit of Riversong is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover The Summit of Riversong and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

Built to pass in The Summit of Riversong

Suite conversions are common here, and the drywall is a big part of passing inspection.

Our The Summit of Riversong legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In The Summit of Riversong 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 The Summit of Riversong suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome. A lot of our The Summit of RiverSong work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Fire, sound and moisture in a The Summit of Riversong suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Finish and wet zones

Bathrooms get moisture-resistant board; everything finishes flat and paint-ready. The Summit of Riversong readers can dig into Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary for the assemblies. Basement development is common in The Summit of RiverSong, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

How The Summit of RiverSong homes affect the work

Much of The Summit of RiverSong is young enough that original finishes are intact, so the legal suite drywall is about blending into what the builder left rather than stripping back layers.

Basements in The Summit of RiverSong run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
