Ritchie drywall in context

About Ritchie

Ritchie is a residential neighbourhood in south east Edmonton, developed during the immediate post-war period.

Finished and heated garages in Ritchie

A clean, usable space

A finished garage in Ritchie is warmer, cleaner and more usable as a workshop or storage — we board and finish the walls and ceiling so it is ready for paint.

The code-required firewall

Whatever the finish, the house-side separation is Type X fire-rated to code. Most Ritchie garage projects run into this. See our fire-rated drywall page.

Our Ritchie garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Ritchie 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 Ritchie rated separation clears inspection.

What affects the cost of garage drywall in Ritchie?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in Ritchie 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 Ritchie garage. We price off the garage and a site look.
