Fire-rated drywall in Hotchkiss, 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 Hotchkiss we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Hotchkiss is one of SE 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 Hotchkiss, Rangeview, Ricardo Ranch, Belvedere and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Hotchkiss 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 Hotchkiss

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 Hotchkiss project passes the first time.

Our Hotchkiss fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Hotchkiss 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. Housing in Hotchkiss is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Hotchkiss

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Hotchkiss 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. Housing in Hotchkiss is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Common fire-rated situations in Hotchkiss

In Hotchkiss, hotchkiss owners often want their brand-new builder-grade walls upgraded to Level 5 before their first repaint, especially in rooms with pot lights or big windows where a Level 4 finish can show under raking light. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
