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

A finished Calder garage is cleaner, warmer and worth more — but the wall and ceiling shared with the house must be fire-rated to code. In Calder we hang, tape and finish garage walls and ceilings, with Type X fire-rated board on the Calder house-side separation. Calder is an Northwest community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so garage finishing here is common. We cover Calder, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Our Calder garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Calder 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 Calder assembly properly so it passes inspection.
