Markham is home to one of Canada’s most prominent technology and corporate business corridors — a city of major company headquarters, professional services offices, healthcare and life sciences facilities, hotel and hospitality properties and a dense and active commercial retail and food service sector. The buildings that house these operations are built and maintained to a high standard — and the fire separation systems within them must match. Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements apply throughout Markham’s commercial building stock, governing assemblies between occupancies, stairwell and elevator enclosures, mechanical rooms, corridor fire barriers and assemblies between floors of different use in the city’s many multi-storey and mixed-use commercial buildings.

We deliver commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Markham to the standard that the city’s commercial and institutional clients expect. Every project begins with a thorough assessment — we review the building’s occupancy types and fire separation requirements and install rated assemblies that are built correctly, detailed properly at all penetrations and perimeters and pass inspection the first time.

With over 20 years of commercial drywall experience across Markham and York Region, Express Drywall Services delivers fire-resistant work that is code-compliant, backed by a 1-year warranty and completed on schedule by our own crew. Free on-site estimates within 48 hours, transparent pricing, no subcontractors.

How We Deliver Fire-Resistant Drywall on Markham Commercial Projects

Every Markham fire-rated project follows our structured five-step process — precise, professional and built around your project schedule.

We assess the complete building before planning — reviewing occupancy classifications, mapping every assembly requiring a fire rating and confirming the correct OBC standard for each application before any scope or pricing is finalized.
We protect tenants, adjacent finishes and active building areas before installation begins. In Markham's occupied corporate and healthcare buildings, careful preparation is how we deliver clean work without disrupting operations.
Our crew installs each fire-rated board and assembly to the specific OBC requirements — correct fire rating, proper fastening, correct detailing at all penetrations and perimeters. Built to the standard Markham's commercial buildings demand.
All taping, compounding and sanding is completed to a consistent commercial finish across the entire scope. Clean, uniform surfaces ready for paint throughout every fire-rated assembly in the building.
We walk the completed fire-rated work with the project team — confirming all assemblies are complete and correctly detailed, resolving any remaining items on site and leaving the building clean and ready for your inspector.

Markham Buildings. Fire-Safe. Inspectable.

Markham's Fire Code - What Every Commercial Build Must Include

Markham’s commercial buildings — from corporate office towers and healthcare facilities to mixed-use residential-commercial developments and hotel properties — are subject to comprehensive OBC fire separation requirements that vary by building type, occupancy classification and construction category. Walls between different occupancy groups, stairwell and elevator shaft enclosures, fire barriers along corridor assemblies, mechanical and electrical room enclosures and assemblies between commercial and residential floors in mixed-use towers all require correctly specified and installed fire-rated drywall systems.

In Markham’s high-standard commercial market, where buildings are built to a premium level and expected to perform accordingly, every fire-rated assembly must be correct — and must be demonstrably correct to pass the detailed inspections Markham’s commercial projects are subject to. Commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Markham is the code-required, professionally necessary foundation of every compliant commercial project in the city.
