Fire-rated drywall in SouthRidge, installed to code

In SouthRidge the code decides: garage separations, basement suites and party walls must carry Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and protect the home. In SouthRidge we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. SouthRidge is a growing Chestermere community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover SouthRidge and all of Chestermere, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in SouthRidge depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Expect Type X to price above regular board; the SouthRidge assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in SouthRidge

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 SouthRidge project passes the first time.

Our SouthRidge fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In SouthRidge 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. Code-compliant, inspection-ready and visually finished — the SouthRidge outcome.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in SouthRidge

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in SouthRidge is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. To-code install and finish.

Party walls and legal suites

Both are regular calls across SouthRidge. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in SouthRidge

Waterford Estates is a mature Chestermere community, so most of our work here is repair and refresh -- settling cracks, corner bead damage, nail pops -- plus basement drywall for owners updating an older lower level. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
