Fire-rated drywall in Parkdale, installed to code

No shortcuts on Parkdale fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Parkdale we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Parkdale is an inner-NW Calgary community of character homes and infills where plaster repair and new-build finishing are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Parkdale, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Parkdale depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. The Parkdale 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 Parkdale

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 Parkdale project passes the first time. Some Parkdale homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Our Parkdale fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Parkdale 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 Parkdale separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Parkdale

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Parkdale 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 Parkdale homes and multi-unit buildings. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Some Parkdale homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Common fire-rated situations in Parkdale

In Parkdale, parkdale homes have often been renovated more than once over the decades, so we see everything from original lath-and-plaster to a later drywall retrofit in the same house — we assess which is which before we touch anything, then repair or patch to match whichever surface is actually there. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
