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

A finished garage is cleaner, warmer and worth more — but the wall and ceiling shared with the house have to be fire-rated to code. In Downtown we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Type X fire-rated board on the house-side separation. Downtown is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so garage finishing here is common. We cover Downtown and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Downtown?

Size, finish and fire rating

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

The firewall in Downtown

Finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your Downtown garage passes inspection.

Our Downtown garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Downtown 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 assembly properly so it passes inspection.

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Downtown 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 garage jobs here. See our fire-rated drywall page.

Common garage drywall situations in Downtown

Downtown Airdrie mixes older character homes with newer infill, so our work here ranges from plaster and lath repair in the original housing stock to modern boarding and taping in new builds and secondary suites going into older lots. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

Garage Drywall Downtown: your questions answered

Do you do garage drywall in Downtown?
Yes — garage drywall in Downtown is part of our regular work, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Airdrie, Bayside, Chinook Gate and every Calgary quadrant.
Does my Downtown garage need fire-rated drywall?
The wall and ceiling shared with the house do — that separation must be Type X fire-rated to code. We install it correctly so your Downtown garage passes inspection.
Can you finish a heated garage?
Yes — we board, tape and finish heated and finished garages to a clean paint-ready surface, with the code-required fire separation built in.
Can you board only and let me paint?
Yes — we can board your Downtown garage (with the required fire-rated separation) and leave the finishing and paint to you, or finish it fully.
Do you stand behind your garage drywall in Downtown?
Yes. We install the firewall to code and finish the garage clean, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.
Our Downtown Airdrie house is older -- do you still work on plaster walls, not just drywall?
Yes. A lot of Downtown Airdrie's original homes have plaster over lath rather than drywall, and we repair, patch and refinish that plaster smooth right alongside any drywall work in the same house.
