Our Drywall Installation Services
Drywall Hanging and Taping
Precision hanging is the foundation of a professional finish. We measure, cut, and fasten sheets to minimize seams, then apply paper or mesh tape and multiple coats of joint compound to create seamless transitions between panels.
Drywall Mudding and Finishing
Mudding is where good drywall becomes great drywall. Our finishers apply compound in progressively wider coats, feathering each pass so seams and fastener heads disappear once painted.
Drywall Installation for New Construction
Building from the ground up? We coordinate with your general contractor’s timeline to hang and finish drywall efficiently across entire homes, additions, or multi-unit buildings keeping your project on schedule.
Ceiling Drywall Installation
Ceilings carry their own challenges: heavier panels, more sag risk, and trickier finishing angles. We use proper bracing and support techniques to install ceiling drywall safely and evenly, including vaulted and tray ceiling designs.
Drywall Installation for Basements
Basements often call for moisture-resistant materials and careful attention to insulation and vapor barriers before any panel goes up. We assess your space and recommend the right board for long-term durability.
Commercial Drywall Installation
From office build-outs to retail spaces, our commercial teams handle larger-scale projects with an emphasis on code compliance, fire ratings, and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
Understanding Drywall Types and Thickness
Not all drywall is created equal. Choosing the right product for the room matters as much as the installation itself:
| Drywall Type | Best For | Common Thickness |
| Standard (white board) | Living rooms, bedrooms | 1/2″ |
| Moisture-resistant (green board) | Bathrooms, laundry rooms | 1/2″ |
| Fire-rated (Type X) | Garages, shared walls, mechanical rooms | 5/8″ |
| Soundproof drywall | Home theaters, shared-wall units, offices | 5/8″–1″ (with sound-dampening layers) |
| Flexible drywall | Curved walls, archways | 1/4″ |
Moisture-Resistant Drywall
Also known as “green board” or, for wetter areas, cement board, moisture-resistant drywall helps prevent mold and warping in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other high-humidity spaces.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation
Type X and Type C fire-rated boards slow the spread of fire and are often required by code in garages, stairwells, and shared walls between units. We ensure every installation meets local fire code requirements.
Soundproof Drywall Installation
For home offices, media rooms, or multi-family buildings, soundproof drywall combined with resilient channels and acoustic sealant can dramatically cut noise transfer between rooms.
Drywall Finishing Levels Explained
Drywall finishing is rated on a scale from Level 0 to Level 5, and the right level depends on your wall’s final use:
- Level 0 No taping or finishing; used for temporary construction
- Level 1 Tape embedded in compound; common above ceilings or in utility spaces
- Level 2 One coat over tape; typical in garages or storage areas
- Level 3 Two coats, ready for heavy or textured wall finishes
- Level 4 Standard for most homes; smooth finish under flat or eggshell paint
- Level 5 Skim coat over the entire surface; required for glossy paint or critical lighting conditions
We’ll recommend the right finishing level for each room based on your paint sheen, lighting, and budget.
Drywall Texture Options
Once your walls are finished, texture adds character and can help hide minor imperfections. Popular options include:
- Smooth/skim coat modern, minimalist look
- Orange peel subtle texture, easy to maintain
- Knockdown a softened, mottled texture popular in many regions
- Popcorn removal and re-texture updating dated ceilings to a modern finish
Drywall Installation Cost Per Square Foot
Drywall installation cost typically depends on square footage, ceiling height, finish level, and accessibility. General ranges include:
- Hanging only: roughly $1.50–$3.00 per sq. ft.
- Hanging, taping, and finishing (Level 4): roughly $2.50–$5.00 per sq. ft.
- Specialty board (fire-rated, moisture-resistant, soundproof): add $0.50–$1.50 per sq. ft.
- Texture application: add $0.50–$1.00 per sq. ft.

Drywall Installation Timeline
Most residential rooms follow a predictable schedule:
- Day 1: Measure, deliver materials, hang panels
- Day 2: First coat of tape and compound
- Day 3–4: Second and third coats, with drying time between
- Day 5: Sanding and final inspection
- Day 6 (optional): Texture application
Larger new-construction or commercial projects may run several weeks depending on scope. We’ll provide a detailed timeline with your estimate.
Drywall Installation vs. Repair
Not sure whether you need a full installation or a patch job? As a general guide:
- Choose repair if you’re dealing with a small hole, water stain, or isolated crack in an otherwise sound wall.
- Choose full installation if you’re renovating a room, dealing with widespread damage, water/mold issues, or converting unfinished space (like a basement) into living area.
Our estimators can assess your walls on-site and recommend the most cost-effective path.
