Fire-rated drywall in Crawford Ranch, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep a home safe. In Crawford Ranch we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Crawford Ranch is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Crawford Ranch and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Crawford Ranch?

Area and assembly

The cost in Crawford Ranch depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Type X board costs more than standard, and the rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Crawford Ranch

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 Crawford Ranch project passes the first time.

Our Crawford Ranch fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Crawford Ranch 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. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Crawford Ranch

Garage firewalls

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

Legal suites and party walls

Basement legal suites and multi-unit party walls are frequent here. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in Crawford Ranch

Crawford Ranch is one of Cochrane's newer communities, so our work here is mostly fresh boarding and taping for new builds, basement development in the walkout lots, and Level 5 skim coats for owners upgrading their builder-grade finish.
