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

In Blackburne we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Blackburne house-side separations built in Type X fire-rated board. Blackburne is an Southwest community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so garage finishing here is common.

Our Blackburne garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Blackburne 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 Blackburne assembly properly so it passes inspection.
