What affects the cost of garage drywall in Newton?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Newton depends on the garage size, the finish level, and the fire-rated separation on the house-side wall and ceiling. Board-only leaves a Newton garage short of what taping and finishing deliver. We price off the garage and a site look.

Finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your Newton garage passes inspection.

Our Newton garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Newton 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 Newton rated separation clears inspection.
