Do you install fire-rated drywall in Shaganappi?

Yes — fire-rated drywall in Shaganappi is part of our regular work, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant.

Where is fire-rated drywall required?

The standard Shaganappi fire-rating locations: garage-to-house walls, basement suites and party walls between units. We confirm what your Shaganappi project needs.

Will it pass inspection in Shaganappi?

Yes — we install the correct Type X assembly and seal penetrations to spec so your Shaganappi separation passes inspection.

Can you finish the fire-rated board too?

Yes — your Shaganappi separation passes code and looks properly finished, ready for paint.

Do you stand behind your fire-rated work in Shaganappi?

Yes. We install to code and walk the Shaganappi job with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Is it worth keeping the original plaster in our Shaganappi character home, or should we just replace it with drywall?

Depends on the damage — small areas are usually cheaper and more true-to-character to repair in place; if a whole wall is failing, replacing with drywall and matching the surrounding texture is often the better long-term call. We'll tell you honestly which applies.

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

Area and assembly

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

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 Shaganappi project passes the first time.

Our Shaganappi fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

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