Scarborough’s commercial market has grown significantly in recent years — new retail plazas, healthcare facilities, food service businesses, light industrial operations and mixed-use developments are adding to a building stock that already spans a wide range of occupancy types across the district. From the commercial strips along Kingston Road and Eglinton Avenue to the industrial and employment lands further north, Scarborough’s commercial buildings are subject to Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements that govern a wide range of wall, ceiling and enclosure assemblies throughout each building.

We deliver commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Scarborough for the full range of the district’s commercial building types. Each project begins with a thorough on-site assessment — we review the building’s layout, occupancy classifications and fire separation requirements and we install rated assemblies that meet OBC standards, pass inspection and provide the fire safety performance the code requires.

Express Drywall Services has served Scarborough’s commercial construction sector for over 20 years. Our fire-rated installations are code-compliant, backed by a 1-year warranty and delivered on schedule by our own experienced crew. Free estimates on-site within 48 hours — transparent pricing, no subcontractors.

Assessed. Rated. Compliant.

Our Fire-Resistant Drywall Process for Scarborough Commercial Buildings

Every Scarborough commercial project follows our structured five-step process — delivering code-compliant fire-rated assemblies on time and on spec.

We walk the full commercial space before planning — reviewing occupancy types, identifying every assembly that requires a fire rating and building a complete scope before pricing or scheduling begins.
We prepare the worksite carefully — protecting adjacent occupied areas, covering floors and finishes and confirming all conditions are correct before any installation work begins.
Our crew installs each fire-rated board and assembly to the specific OBC requirements — correct fire rating for the application, proper fastening, correct detailing. Every assembly performs as the code requires.
All taping, compounding and sanding is completed to a consistent commercial standard across the full scope. Surfaces are clean, compliant and ready for paint or your next trade when we're done.
We walk the completed work with you, confirm all assemblies are correct, address any remaining items on site and leave the building clean and ready for your inspector or next phase.

Built Right. Passed First Time.

Fire-Rated Assemblies Scarborough's OBC Demands

Scarborough’s commercial buildings — spanning retail, food service, healthcare, light industrial and mixed-use occupancies — are subject to OBC fire separation requirements that apply to a wide range of assemblies throughout each building. Walls between different occupancies, stairwell and corridor enclosures, mechanical and electrical room assemblies and party walls between tenants all require correctly rated drywall systems.

In Scarborough’s older commercial stock, change-of-use and renovation projects regularly require fire separation upgrades to bring buildings into compliance with current OBC requirements. Every assembly must be correctly specified, correctly installed and correctly detailed at penetrations and perimeters to pass inspection. Commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Scarborough is a code-mandated requirement for any compliant commercial project — not an optional specification.

Every Scope. Scarborough Delivered.
