Fire-rated drywall in River Heights, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where River Heights code calls for it — garage separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In River Heights we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. River Heights is a Cochrane community where reno, repair and finishing drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover River Heights and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in River Heights?

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in River Heights

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 River Heights project passes the first time. In River Heights basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Our River Heights fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In River Heights 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 River Heights separation that also looks finished. A lot of our River Heights work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in River Heights

Garage firewalls

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

Common fire-rated situations in River Heights

In River Heights, river Heights sits above the Bow River valley, and our work here covers basement development in the walkout and daylight lots, settling-crack repair, and ceiling texture matching after renovations or pot-light installs. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
