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

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Thorburn?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Thorburn 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 Thorburn

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 Thorburn suite passes. Removal is a frequent Thorburn request, and the age of the ceiling decides how that work is approached.

Our Thorburn legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Thorburn 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 Thorburn suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Thorburn suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For Thorburn assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. Removal is a frequent Thorburn request, and the age of the ceiling decides how that work is approached.
