Garage drywall in Citadel, boarded and fire-rated to code

A finished Citadel garage is cleaner, warmer and worth more — but the wall and ceiling shared with the house must be fire-rated to code. In Citadel we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Type X fire-rated board on the Citadel house-side separation. Citadel is an established NW Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so garage finishing here is common. We cover Citadel, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Citadel?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Citadel depends on the garage size, the finish level, and the fire-rated separation on the house-side wall and ceiling. A boarded-only Citadel garage is a step below a fully taped and finished one. We price off the garage and a site look.

The firewall in Citadel

Finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your Citadel garage passes inspection. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Citadel, often with several layers from past repairs.

Our Citadel garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Citadel we board the house-side wall and ceiling with Type X fire-rated board, because that separation is a code requirement, not a finish option.

Board, tape and finish

We board the rest of the garage, tape and finish to the level you want — a clean paint-ready finish for a heated or finished garage, or boarded only if you are painting it yourself. We seal the rated Citadel assembly properly so it passes inspection. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Citadel, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Citadel is warmer, cleaner and more usable as a workshop or storage — we board and finish the walls and ceiling so it is ready for paint.

The code-required firewall

Whatever the finish, the house-side separation is Type X fire-rated to code. This comes up on most Citadel garage jobs. See our fire-rated drywall page. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Citadel, often with several layers from past repairs.

Common garage drywall situations in Citadel

In Citadel, citadel is a community built out through the 1980s and 1990s. Homes from those decades typically carry sprayed ceiling texture — stipple or popcorn — so matching the existing finish is usually what decides whether a repair disappears, and pre-1990 texture is treated as unknown until its age is confirmed. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

What garage drywall usually involves in Citadel

Housing in Citadel is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different garage drywall work.

Removal is a frequent request in Citadel, and the age of the ceiling decides how the work is approached rather than how it is priced.

Where Citadel still has stipple, we check how many coats are already on it before deciding whether to match it or take it back.
