Fire-rated drywall in Duggan, installed to code

No shortcuts on Duggan fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Duggan we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Duggan is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Duggan, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Common fire-rated situations in Duggan

Finished garages and new builds

Fire-rated work here is common when garages are finished and on new builds and additions where the separations are part of the spec.

Suite conversions

When an Duggan basement is converted to a legal suite, the fire separation between the suite and the main floor is a code requirement we handle as part of the drywall.

Duggan drywall in context

About Duggan

Duggan (a pioneer citizen and former mayor of Edmonton's early rival, the City of Strathcona), Duggan reflects the popular design elements of the 1960s.

What we see in Duggan

In Duggan the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our Duggan fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Duggan we confirm the required rating, then install the correct Type X board in the right layers — the assembly, not just the board, is what carries the rating.

Seal and finish

Penetrations and edges are where a rated assembly fails, so we firestop and seal them, then tape and finish the board clean. The Duggan deliverable: a separation that passes inspection, meets code and looks complete.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Duggan

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Duggan is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Code-compliant install and finish.

Legal suites and shared walls

Frequent work in Duggan homes and multi-unit buildings. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Duggan?

Area and assembly

The cost in Duggan depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. In Duggan, the required rating sets the assembly build-up — and Type X runs above standard board on cost. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Duggan

The common rated jobs here are garages and suites. The rating only holds if the assembly is built and sealed exactly to spec, so we install it to code and seal penetrations properly so your Duggan project passes the first time.
