Garage drywall in Riviera, 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 Riviera we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Type X fire-rated board on the house-side separation. Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, so garage finishing here is common. We cover Riviera and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Riviera?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Riviera 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 Riviera

Because Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your Riviera garage passes inspection.

Our Riviera garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Riviera 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.

Finished and heated garages in Riviera

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Riviera 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. Because Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, this comes up on most garage jobs here. See our fire-rated drywall page.

Common garage drywall situations in Riviera

New finishing and re-dos

A new riverside cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, so we both finish bare garages and re-do older garage drywall that has been damaged or never properly finished.

Heated garages and workshops

For heated Riviera garages and workshops, a proper finished drywall surface holds the heat better and gives a clean, paintable space — with the fire separation built in.
