Legal suite drywall in West Hillhurst, 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 West Hillhurst we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. West Hillhurst is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so suite conversions are common here. We cover West Hillhurst, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in West Hillhurst?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in West Hillhurst 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 West Hillhurst

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 West Hillhurst suite passes. In older West Hillhurst houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Our West Hillhurst legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In West Hillhurst 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 West Hillhurst suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable.

Fire, sound and moisture in a West Hillhurst suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For West Hillhurst assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. In older West Hillhurst houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Common legal suite situations in West Hillhurst

In West Hillhurst, west Hillhurst homes have often been renovated more than once over the decades, so we see everything from original lath-and-plaster to a later drywall retrofit in the same house — we assess which is which before we touch anything, then repair or patch to match whichever surface is actually there.
