Fire-rated drywall in The Summit of Riversong, 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 The Summit of Riversong we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. The Summit of Riversong is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover The Summit of Riversong and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in The Summit of Riversong?

Area and assembly

The cost in The Summit of Riversong 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 The Summit of Riversong

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 The Summit of Riversong project passes the first time.

Our The Summit of Riversong fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In The Summit of Riversong 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.
