Garage drywall in Ricardo Ranch, boarded and fire-rated to code

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

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Ricardo Ranch?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Ricardo Ranch 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 Ricardo Ranch garage. We price off the garage and a site look.

The firewall in Ricardo Ranch

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

Our Ricardo Ranch garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Ricardo Ranch 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 Ricardo Ranch rated separation clears inspection.

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Ricardo Ranch 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 Ricardo Ranch garage projects run into this. See our fire-rated drywall page.

Common garage drywall situations in Ricardo Ranch

Ricardo Ranch is a new southeast Calgary community (homes from 2022), built on knockdown-ceiling, orange-peel new construction. The drywall work here is new-build boarding, taping and finishing, basement development as homes complete, and builder-deficiency patch and texture-match on spec homes. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

Do you stand behind your garage drywall in Ricardo Ranch?

We just took possession of a new Ricardo Ranch build — do you handle builder-deficiency drywall?
