Board-only with me painting — possible in Heritage Valley Town Centre Area?

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

The fire separation between garage and house

When it applies

Where a Heritage Valley Town Centre Area garage is attached, or living space sits above it, a rated separation is normally required between the two. That usually means Type X board on the shared wall and on the ceiling under living space, taped as part of the assembly.

The common gap

The most frequent thing we find in existing garages is board installed and joints left open. The board is there, so it looks finished — but an untaped rated assembly is not complete. Often the honest fix is finishing the joints rather than replacing the ceiling.

Finish level for a garage

Being realistic

A garage is lit harshly, viewed at close range along the walls, and rarely worth a top-level finish.

What we recommend

A sound taped finish, primed, in a durable washable coating. Spending on a display-level finish in a room that will meet a bumper and a bike rack is not where we would put a client's money, and we say so.

Choosing board for a working Heritage Valley Town Centre Area garage

Standard, moisture-resistant or impact-resistant

Most Heritage Valley Town Centre Area garage walls are fine in standard board. Where the space is regularly damp — a vehicle bringing in snow all winter — moisture-resistant board is worth it low on the walls. Where bikes, tools and vehicle doors make contact, impact-resistant board takes the abuse far better.

Spending it where it matters

We would rather put the better board on the two walls that actually get hit than upgrade the whole garage. We will tell you which walls those are once we see how the space is used.

Why a Heritage Valley Town Centre Area garage is harder on drywall than a house

The temperature cycle

An unheated Heritage Valley Town Centre Area 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.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Heritage Valley Town Centre Area in Edmonton?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Heritage Valley Town Centre Area depends on the garage size, the finish level, and the fire-rated separation on the house-side wall and ceiling. The gap between boarded and fully finished shows in every Heritage Valley Town Centre Area garage. We price off the garage and a site look.

The firewall in Heritage Valley Town Centre Area
