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

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

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Southwood?

Size, finish and fire rating

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

The firewall in Southwood

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

Our Southwood garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Southwood 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 Southwood rated separation clears inspection. In Southwood we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Finished and heated garages in Southwood

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Southwood 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 Southwood garage projects run into this. See our fire-rated drywall page. Southwood spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common garage drywall situations in Southwood

In Southwood, decades of Calgary freeze-thaw cycles show up in Southwood as recurring hairline cracks at door and window corners — we repair them properly (not just a smear of filler) so they are far less likely to reopen the following winter.
