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

Cleaner, warmer, more valuable — the finished University Heights garage — as long as the house-adjoining surfaces are fire-rated to code. In University Heights we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with The University Heights separation wall and ceiling: Type X fire-rated. University Heights is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so garage finishing here is common. We cover University Heights, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in University Heights?

Size, finish and fire rating

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

The firewall in University Heights

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

Our University Heights garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In University 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. Sealed right, the University Heights rated separation clears inspection. In University 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 University 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. Most University Heights garage projects run into this. See our fire-rated drywall page. Basement development is common in University Heights, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.
