Can you board my Lago Lindo garage only and let me paint?

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

Does it need sealing as well as boarding?

Yes. The same separation keeps exhaust fumes and stored-chemical vapour out of the house. Leaks around the man door, ceiling junction and penetrations are cheap to seal while open and awkward afterwards.

Board-only with me painting — possible in Lago Lindo?

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

What finish level should a Lago Lindo garage be?

Usually a sound standard finish rather than a skim coat. A garage is lit by a couple of fixtures and used as a working space, so a full Level 5 rarely shows a return. We would rather spend it on better board where things get knocked.

Does my Lago Lindo garage need fire-rated drywall?

The house-adjoining Lago Lindo wall and ceiling do — code mandates Type X fire-rated board there. We install it correctly so your Lago Lindo garage passes inspection.

What finish level should a garage get?

A sound taped finish, primed, in a durable washable coating. A display-level finish in a room that meets a bumper and a bike rack is not where we would put your money, and we will say so.

Lago Lindo drywall in context

About Lago Lindo

Named to reflect Edmonton's ethnic diversity, Lago Lindo is Spanish for"pretty lake", and contains two lakes named for communities in Spain.

Insulating a garage that is not heated

Worth thinking about

Insulating an unheated Lago Lindo 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.

Finishing around the vehicle door and the man door

The details that get skipped

The header over a Lago Lindo 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.

The fire separation between garage and house

When it applies

Where a Lago Lindo 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.

Why a Lago Lindo garage is harder on drywall than a house

The temperature cycle

An unheated Lago Lindo 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.

Our Lago Lindo garage drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Lago Lindo 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. Sealed right, the Lago Lindo rated separation clears inspection.
