Garage drywall in River Heights, boarded and fire-rated to code

A finished River Heights garage is cleaner, warmer and worth more — but the wall and ceiling shared with the house must be fire-rated to code. In River Heights we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Type X fire-rated board on the River Heights house-side separation. River Heights is a Cochrane community where reno, repair and finishing drywall are common, so garage finishing here is common. We cover River Heights and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in River Heights?

Size, finish and fire rating

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

The firewall in River Heights

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

Our River Heights garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In River Heights 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 River Heights assembly properly so it passes inspection. In River Heights basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in River Heights 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 River Heights garage jobs. See our fire-rated drywall page. Basement development is common in River Heights, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.
