Fire-rated drywall in Crestmont, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Crestmont code calls for it — garage separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In Crestmont we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Crestmont is one of NE Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Crestmont, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Crestmont

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 Crestmont project passes the first time. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Crestmont, often with several layers from past repairs.

Our Crestmont fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Crestmont 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 Crestmont separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Crestmont

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Crestmont 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 Crestmont jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Crestmont, often with several layers from past repairs.

Common fire-rated situations in Crestmont

In Crestmont, we see fewer stipple-ceiling jobs in Crestmont than in older areas, since most homes here were built with smooth ceilings — the calls instead are wall-crack repair, nail pops, and the occasional renovation drywall job.
