What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Rolling Trails?

Area and assembly

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

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 Rolling Trails project passes the first time. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Rolling Trails, often with several layers from past repairs.

Our Rolling Trails fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Rolling Trails 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 Rolling Trails separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Rolling Trails, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.
