Vapour barrier installation in Legacy, Calgary — 6 mil poly sealed over insulation before drywall, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration.
A vapour barrier is one of the few things in a build that is completely hidden and completely unforgiving — once the drywall is on, a torn sheet or an unsealed outlet box stays that way for the life of the wall. In Legacy we install and seal 6 mil poly over the insulation on the warm side, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration, before any board goes up. Legacy is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so insulation calls here are usually limited to basement development, since the main floors are already insulated to current code. We cover Legacy, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.
Before anything is priced we walk the vapour barrier installation with you at the Legacy Calgary property. You get a fixed figure that day, not a range that moves later.
Scheduling is settled in one conversation. The vapour barrier installation start date in Legacy Calgary is confirmed and the team turns up on it.
Dust control is set up first — sheeting, sealed openings, containment — then the vapour barrier installation is taken through to a paint-ready finish in your Legacy Calgary home.
You sign off, not us. We go through the completed vapour barrier installation with you at the Legacy Calgary home and fix anything that is not right that day.

Read our reviews on GoogleIn a newly built Legacy home the drywall has not yet been through a full winter, so we plan the vapour barrier installation around settling that is still happening rather than settling that has finished.
In Legacy we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.
Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Legacy, which means the repair is judged on texture match as much as on whether the surface is flat.
