Fire-rated drywall in Jensen, installed to code

No shortcuts on Jensen fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Jensen we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Jensen 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 Jensen and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Jensen depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. The Jensen rating drives the build-up, and Type X board carries a premium over standard. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Jensen

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 Jensen project passes the first time. Basement development is common in Jensen, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our Jensen fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Jensen 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. A Jensen separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Jensen

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Jensen is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Code-compliant install and finish.

Legal suites and shared walls

Frequent work in Jensen homes and multi-unit buildings. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. A lot of our Jensen work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.
