What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Erin Woods?

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Erin Woods

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 Erin Woods project passes the first time.

Our Erin Woods fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Erin Woods

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in Erin Woods

We see a lot of nail-pop and seam-cracking repair in Erin Woods, the normal result of thirty-plus years of seasonal drywall movement — usually a straightforward fix once we have matched the texture correctly. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
