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

Finishing a Cornerstone garage adds warmth, cleanliness and value — provided the house-side wall and ceiling carry code fire-rating. In Cornerstone we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Cornerstone house-side separations built in Type X fire-rated board. Cornerstone is one of NE Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so garage finishing here is common. We cover Cornerstone, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Cornerstone?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Cornerstone depends on the garage size, the finish level, and the fire-rated separation on the house-side wall and ceiling. Board-only leaves a Cornerstone garage short of what taping and finishing deliver. We price off the garage and a site look.

The firewall in Cornerstone

Finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your Cornerstone garage passes inspection. In Cornerstone basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Our Cornerstone garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Cornerstone 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. The Cornerstone rated assembly gets sealed correctly — inspection-ready.

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Cornerstone 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. Nearly every Cornerstone garage call raises it. See our fire-rated drywall page. Much of Cornerstone carries an orange-peel finish, which is easy to apply and unforgiving to match badly.

Common garage drywall situations in Cornerstone

In Cornerstone, cornerstone is a community built out in the 2000s. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

How Cornerstone homes affect the work

In Cornerstone we see original finishes and recent renovations on the same block, so the garage drywall is scoped per house, not per postcode.

Orange peel is common on Cornerstone walls. It is quick to apply and unforgiving to match, so the tip and the timing matter more than the mud.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
