Fire-rated drywall in Citadel, installed to code

In Citadel the code decides: garage separations, basement suites and party walls must carry Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and protect the home. In Citadel we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Citadel is an established NW Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Citadel, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Citadel?

Area and assembly

The cost in Citadel depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Expect Type X to price above regular board; the Citadel assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Citadel

The common rated jobs here are garages and suites. The rating only holds if the assembly is built and sealed exactly to spec, so we install it to code and seal penetrations properly so your Citadel project passes the first time. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Citadel, often with several layers from past repairs.

Our Citadel fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Citadel we confirm the required rating, then install the correct Type X board in the right layers — the assembly, not just the board, is what carries the rating.

Seal and finish

Penetrations and edges are where a rated assembly fails, so we firestop and seal them, then tape and finish the board clean. Code-compliant, inspection-ready and visually finished — the Citadel outcome.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Citadel

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Citadel is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. To-code install and finish.

Party walls and legal suites

Both are regular calls across Citadel. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Citadel, often with several layers from past repairs.

Common fire-rated situations in Citadel

In Citadel, citadel is a community built out through the 1980s and 1990s. Homes from those decades typically carry sprayed ceiling texture — stipple or popcorn — so matching the existing finish is usually what decides whether a repair disappears, and pre-1990 texture is treated as unknown until its age is confirmed. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

What fire-rated drywall usually involves in Citadel

Citadel spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the fire-rated drywall rather than after.

Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Citadel, often with more than one layer from earlier repairs, and each layer changes how the new work has to be feathered.

Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Citadel. Anything from that era is treated as unknown until its age is established, and handled accordingly.
