Westmount drywall in context

About Westmount

Westmount likely takes its name from an affluent, predominantly Anglophone, city on the west island of Montreal.

What we see in Westmount

In Westmount 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.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Westmount depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Expect Type X to price above regular board; the Westmount assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Westmount

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 Westmount project passes the first time.
