Do you do garage drywall in Old Town?

Yes — garage drywall in Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town?

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.

Is it better to repair our Old Town plaster walls or replace them with drywall?

It depends on the extent of the damage -- for isolated cracks and holes we repair and refinish the existing plaster; if a wall is failing broadly it's often more cost-effective to replace it with drywall, which we can walk you through on-site.

Garage drywall in Old Town, 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 Old Town we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Type X fire-rated board on the house-side separation. Old Town 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 Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Old Town?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Old Town 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 Old Town

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

Our Old Town garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town

Old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
