Drywall Installation & Finishing
Framing up and need walls? We supply, hang and finish drywall for basements, renovations, additions and new builds. Board goes up straight, seams get taped and coated, everything gets sanded to a paint-ready finish. One crew from bare studs to primer-ready walls.

Our Process
Here's exactly what happens when you hire us for drywall installation.
Free on-site quote
We measure the space, check the framing, note ceiling height and access, and quote a firm price. Quotes are always free and there's no obligation.
Materials and delivery
We work out board count, thickness and type, including moisture-resistant board for bathrooms and basements. Material can come from us or from you.
Hang the board
Board goes up on ceilings first, then walls. Sheets are cut tight around outlets, switches, windows and doors, and fastened properly so nothing pops later.
Tape and coat
Corner bead goes on, then tape and three coats of compound across seams, corners and fasteners. Each coat needs to dry before the next, so this part sets the schedule.
Sand smooth
Sanding with dust control, feathered edges, then a light check under work lights to catch anything that would show through paint.
Hand off paint-ready
You get walls ready for primer, and a clean site. If you'd rather not line up a painter, we can quote the painting too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drywall installation cost?
It's quoted per job rather than one flat rate, because the price moves with square footage, ceiling height, how many corners and openings there are, and how accessible the space is. A basement with tall ceilings and lots of bulkheads costs more per square foot than a simple square room. The on-site quote is free and the price we give is the price you pay.
Do you do the framing too?
We can include framing in the quote. If your framing is already up, we'll check it before we board, because board hung over bowed or out-of-square studs shows every flaw once the paint goes on.
Do you use special drywall in basements and bathrooms?
Yes. Moisture-resistant board goes in bathrooms and below-grade areas where damp is a factor. Standard board elsewhere. We'll tell you what we're using and why in the quote rather than leaving you to guess.
What's the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish?
Level 4 is the standard finish and is right for most rooms under matte or eggshell paint. Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the whole surface for a mirror-smooth result, and it's worth it in rooms with big windows or pot lights, because raking light shows every imperfection. We'll flag rooms where Level 5 is the better call.
How long does a basement take?
Hanging is the fast part. Finishing sets the timeline, because each coat of compound has to dry before the next one goes on, and that isn't something you can rush without it cracking later. We'll give you a realistic day count with the quote.
Do you paint afterwards?
We can. Painting is quoted separately so you can decide. Plenty of customers have us finish to primer-ready and bring in their own painter, and that's fine too.
Do you take the mess away?
Yes. Offcuts, packaging and dust are our problem, not yours. We leave the site broom-clean.
