Garage Drywall Built to Take a Beating

Garage drywall in Billings, MT has to handle more than a bedroom wall ever will. It faces temperature swings, bumps from tools and bikes, and code requirements for fire separation from your living space. At Smooth Rock Contracting, we treat a garage as a real finish project, not a quick cover-up. We hang durable board, meet fire-rated requirements where the garage connects to the house, and finish walls and ceilings so the space looks sharp and stays that way.

Fire-Rated Board Where Code Requires It

We set paper or mesh tape into a bed of joint compound over every flat seam, butt joint, and inside corner, working out air bubbles and excess mud so the tape lies flat and tight. It’s the layer that keeps a wall from cracking along its joints later, and it only holds up if it’s done right the first time.

Finished Tough, Not Just Taped

Garage finishes range from fire-taped only to fully finished and painted. We tape and coat every seam and corner and install metal corner bead that holds up to impact. Then we finish to the level you want, from a clean utility finish to a smooth, paint-ready Level 4.

What Our Garage Drywall Service Includes

We offer garage drywall as a standalone service for new homes, detached shops, and existing garages that were never finished. Here’s what’s covered: 1/2″ and 5/8″ board for walls and ceilings, Type X fire-rated board on house-adjoining walls and ceilings, fire taping for code compliance, full taping and finishing, impact-resistant corner bead, moisture-resistant board where needed, and texture or smooth finishes to match your home.

Built for Montana Garages

Billings garages see subzero winters, hot summers, and a lot of daily use. We plan board and fastening for high ceilings, insulated walls, and heavy traffic, so your garage walls stay straight and resist cracking in every season.

FAQ

Garage Drywall Questions

Q Does my garage need fire-rated drywall?
If your garage is attached to your home, the shared wall usually requires fire-rated board. So does any ceiling with living space above it. We follow local code and your plans so the separation is installed correctly.
We commonly use 5/8″ Type X on fire-separation walls and ceilings. Elsewhere we use 1/2″ or 5/8″ board, depending on code, stud spacing, and how durable you want the walls to be.
Yes. We finish existing garages all the time, working around outlets, door openers, and shelving. Insulation should be in place before we hang board.
Yes. We hang and finish detached garages, shops, and outbuildings, including high ceilings and large open walls.
Fire taping means applying tape and a single coat of compound over the seams to meet fire code. It’s a common minimum in garages. We can also take it further to a fully finished, paint-ready wall.
Yes. We hang and finish garage ceilings, including fire-rated ceilings below bonus rooms. We work around attic access hatches and door opener mounts.
Most standard garages take a few days to a week from hanging to final finish. The exact time depends on size, ceiling height, and finish level.
Pricing depends on garage size, ceiling height, fire-rating requirements, and finish level. Labor and material come in one clear number with no surprise add-ons.
