The board is up in my garage but the joints are open. Is that finished?

Not if it is a rated separation. Untaped joints mean the assembly is incomplete even though the board looks installed. It is the most common thing we find in existing Fulton Place garages, and often the fix is finishing the joints rather than replacing the ceiling.

Do you do garage drywall in Fulton Place?

Yes — garage drywall in Fulton Place is part of our regular work, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and Southeast.

Do you stand behind your garage drywall in Fulton Place?

Yes. In Fulton Place the firewall is built to code and the finish left clean — with a comeback promise if anything is not right.

Board-only with me painting — possible in Fulton Place?

Yes — we can board your Fulton Place garage (with the required fire-rated separation) and leave the finishing and paint to you, or finish it fully.

Can you do the insulation and vapour barrier as well as the boarding?

Yes, and we would rather do both so the sequence is right. Boarding over an incomplete or damaged vapour barrier hides a problem that surfaces later as staining, and it costs far more to fix through a finished wall.

Can you finish a heated garage?

Yes — Fulton Place garages leave us paint-ready — boarded, taped, finished — with the required fire separation in place.

The wall to the house is the important one

Not just another wall

The common wall and ceiling between an attached Fulton Place garage and the living space is a separation, and it is specified rather than optional.

What that changes

Board type, fastening, and how every penetration through it is treated. The other three walls of the garage are finish work; this one is the reason the job is inspected.

Fulton Place drywall in context

About Fulton Place

Named for the creek which runs through the ravine on its west boundary, Fulton Place lies east of the downtown core and developed in the 1950s.

What we see in Fulton Place

In Fulton Place 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.

Temperature swings and what they do to joints

An unheated Fulton Place garage moves

The building goes from well below freezing to warm in a day when the door opens on a sunny afternoon, and the framing moves with it.

How we detail for it

Board fastened to allow that movement, joints taped rather than filled, and honest expectations that an unheated garage will show more joint movement over years than a heated room will.

Insulating a garage that is not heated

Worth thinking about

Insulating an unheated Fulton Place garage still moderates the swing and takes the edge off, but it changes how moisture behaves inside the space.

The honest version

If it is insulated and boarded but never heated or vented, moisture that gets in has fewer ways out. We would rather talk through the whole plan for the space than board an assembly that will not suit how it is used.

Sealing the garage from the house

Air as well as fire

The same separation is what keeps exhaust fumes and stored-chemical vapour out of the Fulton Place house.

Where it leaks

Around the man door, at the ceiling-to-wall junction, at pipe and wire penetrations, and above a dropped soffit. Sealing those is cheap while the wall is open and awkward afterwards, so it happens before boarding.

Why a Fulton Place garage is harder on drywall than a house

The temperature cycle

An unheated Fulton Place garage can swing tens of degrees in a day and cross freezing repeatedly through the winter. Board, framing and joint compound all move at different rates through that cycle, and the joints are where the difference shows.

What we do about it

Joints are taped and coated in thin passes and given time between coats rather than rushed, and the assembly is detailed so movement is taken at the joint instead of cracking the face. It is the same principle as any interior job, applied to a much harder environment.

Finishing around the vehicle door and the man door

The details that get skipped

The header over a Fulton Place overhead door, the reveal around the man door and the junction where the garage wall meets the house are the spots most often left rough, because they are awkward and out of eye line.

Why they matter

They are also where the rated separation is most often broken and where air leakage is worst. We detail them properly, both for the assembly and because those edges are what you actually see when the overhead door is open.
