Fire-rated drywall in Sunset Ridge, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Sunset Ridge 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 Sunset Ridge we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Sunset Ridge is a growing newer Cochrane west-side community where settling cracks and finishing are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Sunset Ridge and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Sunset Ridge?

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Sunset Ridge

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 Sunset Ridge project passes the first time. Housing in Sunset Ridge is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Our Sunset Ridge fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Sunset Ridge 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 Sunset Ridge separation that also looks finished. Sunset Ridge spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Sunset Ridge

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Sunset Ridge 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 Sunset Ridge jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. In Sunset Ridge we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Common fire-rated situations in Sunset Ridge

In Sunset Ridge, sunset Ridge is a residential neighbourhood in Cochrane. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
