Fire-rated drywall in Edgewater, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Edgewater 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 Edgewater we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Edgewater is a newer Airdrie community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Edgewater and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Edgewater 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 Edgewater rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Edgewater

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 Edgewater project passes the first time.

Our Edgewater fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Edgewater 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 Edgewater separation that also looks finished. In Edgewater basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Edgewater

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Edgewater 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 Edgewater jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. A lot of our Edgewater work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common fire-rated situations in Edgewater

In Edgewater, from the first patch to a finished basement, Edgewater is one of the areas we serve every week.

One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

What we tend to find in Edgewater

Housing in Edgewater is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different fire-rated drywall work.

Basements in Edgewater run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
