Fire-rated drywall in Fairways, installed to code

In Fairways 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 Fairways we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Fairways is an established Airdrie community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Fairways and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Fairways 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 Fairways assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Fairways

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 Fairways project passes the first time. A lot of our Fairways work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our Fairways fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Fairways 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 Fairways outcome. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Fairways, often with several layers from past repairs.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Fairways

Garage firewalls

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

Fairways: what shapes the job

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

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

Removal is a frequent request in Fairways, and the age of the ceiling decides how the work is approached rather than how it is priced.
