Fire-rated drywall in West Hillhurst, 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 West Hillhurst we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. West Hillhurst 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 West Hillhurst, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in West Hillhurst?

Area and assembly

The cost in West Hillhurst 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 West Hillhurst

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 West Hillhurst project passes the first time.

Our West Hillhurst fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In West Hillhurst 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 West Hillhurst

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in West Hillhurst 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 West Hillhurst

West Hillhurst homes have often been renovated more than once over the decades, so we see everything from original lath-and-plaster to a later drywall retrofit in the same house — we assess which is which before we touch anything, then repair or patch to match whichever surface is actually there. Same crew, same process on every job — on-site quote, fixed price, no surprises.
