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

Cleaner, warmer, more valuable — the finished Legacy garage — as long as the house-adjoining surfaces are fire-rated to code. In Legacy we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with The Legacy separation wall and ceiling: Type X fire-rated. Legacy is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so garage finishing here is common. We cover Legacy, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Legacy?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Legacy depends on the garage size, the finish level, and the fire-rated separation on the house-side wall and ceiling. The gap between boarded and fully finished shows in every Legacy garage. We price off the garage and a site look.

The firewall in Legacy

Finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your Legacy garage passes inspection. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Legacy, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Our Legacy garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Legacy 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. Sealed right, the Legacy rated separation clears inspection. New homes in Legacy tend to have long unbroken wall runs and high ceilings, which changes how a seam has to be feathered.

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Legacy 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. Most Legacy garage projects run into this. See our fire-rated drywall page. In Legacy basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Common garage drywall situations in Legacy

In Legacy, legacy is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

What garage drywall usually involves in Legacy

In a newly built Legacy home the drywall has not yet been through a full winter, so we plan the garage drywall around settling that is still happening rather than settling that has finished.

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.

Builder deficiency work is common in Legacy — nail pops, corner cracks and seams that only appeared after possession.
