Do you install fire-rated drywall in Sunnyside?

Yes — fire-rated drywall in Sunnyside is part of our regular work, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant.

Where is fire-rated drywall required?

Garage-to-house separations, basement legal suites and party walls between units typically require Type X board in a rated assembly. We confirm what your Sunnyside project needs.

Will it pass inspection in Sunnyside?

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

Can you finish the fire-rated board too?

Yes — we install the rated assembly and finish it clean and paint-ready, so it meets code and looks finished.

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

Yes. We install to code and walk the Sunnyside 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 Sunnyside 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.

Fire-rated drywall in Sunnyside, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep a home safe. In Sunnyside we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Sunnyside is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Sunnyside, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Sunnyside depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Type X board costs more than standard, and the rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Sunnyside

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 Sunnyside project passes the first time.

Our Sunnyside fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Sunnyside 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 separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Sunnyside

Garage firewalls

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

Common fire-rated situations in Sunnyside

Sunnyside has some of the oldest housing stock we work in, so ceiling and cornice details here can be genuinely unusual — we match what is actually there rather than defaulting to a modern flat finish that would look out of place. Same crew, same process on every job — on-site quote, fixed price, no surprises.
