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

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

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Rivercrest?

Size, finish and fire rating

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

The firewall in Rivercrest

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

Our Rivercrest garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Rivercrest 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 Rivercrest assembly properly so it passes inspection. Basement development is common in Rivercrest, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Finished and heated garages in Rivercrest

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Rivercrest 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 Rivercrest garage jobs. See our fire-rated drywall page. A lot of our Rivercrest work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common garage drywall situations in Rivercrest
