We want a flawless finish on a feature wall in our South Shore home -- what do you recommend?

Where code requires it in South Shore, fire-rated board is mandatory: garage-to-house separations, suites and party walls take Type X in a rated assembly — for inspection and for safety. In South Shore we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. South Shore is a Chestermere community where reno, repair and finishing drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in South Shore?

Area and assembly

The cost in South Shore depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. In South Shore, the required rating sets the assembly build-up — and Type X runs above standard board on cost. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in South Shore

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 South Shore project passes the first time.

Our South Shore fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In South Shore 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. The South Shore deliverable: a separation that passes inspection, meets code and looks complete.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in South Shore

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in South Shore is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Installed and finished to code.

Suites and party walls

South Shore sees steady legal-suite and party-wall work. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in South Shore

South Shore is one of Chestermere's premium lakeside communities, so our work here leans toward higher-end finishing -- Level 5 skim coats on feature walls, plus basement development in the walkout lots and water-damage repair. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
