Legal suite drywall in Whitehorn, 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 Whitehorn we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Whitehorn is an established NE Calgary community of older homes where repair and stipple-ceiling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Whitehorn, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Whitehorn?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Whitehorn 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 Whitehorn

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 Whitehorn suite passes. Housing in Whitehorn is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Our Whitehorn legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Whitehorn 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 Whitehorn suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home. In Whitehorn we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Whitehorn suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Common legal suite situations in Whitehorn

In Whitehorn, a lot of our repeat work in Whitehorn comes from owners who had a patch done elsewhere that never quite matched — we re-texture it properly, blending into the original surface rather than leaving a second visible seam. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
