Drywall Installation

We provide installation of drywall panels for interior walls and ceilings in homes and businesses, including remodeling projects, room additions, and new construction. Our installation process creates a solid, even surface ready for taping, finishing, and paint.

Drywall Repair

We repair drywall holes, cracks, dents, nail pops, and other wall and ceiling damage to restore the appearance and integrity of your interior surfaces. We also fix localized water damage and damaged drywall before preparing the area for a seamless finish.

Drywall Replacement

When drywall is too damaged to repair, we remove the affected material and install new drywall panels for a clean, durable surface. This is ideal for severely damaged, deteriorated, or water-damaged drywall on interior walls and ceilings.

Drywall Finishing

Our drywall finishing services include taping, mudding, joint compound application, and sanding to create smooth, even surfaces. We prepare newly installed or repaired drywall for painting, texturing, and other final wall treatments.

Drywall Texture & Matching

We apply and match common drywall textures and wall finishes, including orange peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes. Our texture matching service helps repaired or replaced sections blend naturally with the surrounding walls and ceilings.

Commercial Drywall

We provide commercial drywall services for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and other business properties, including wall and ceiling installation, repairs, finishing, and partition walls. The project team can help create durable, functional interiors for commercial renovations, tenant improvements, and new construction.

Standard Drywall

Standard drywall, also known as regular gypsum board, is the most common choice for interior walls and ceilings in residential and commercial spaces. It provides a smooth, durable surface for taping, joint compound, sanding, painting, and texturing, making it suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, offices, and other areas without specialized moisture or fire-resistance requirements.

Fire-Resistant Drywall

Fire-resistant drywall, often called Type X gypsum board, is manufactured with additives that provide enhanced fire resistance compared with standard drywall.

Sound-Resistant Drywall

Sound-resistant drywall is engineered to help reduce the transmission of sound through walls and ceilings. Depending on the project, it can be combined with acoustic insulation, resilient channels, and other sound-control materials to create quieter spaces such as bedrooms, home theaters, offices, conference rooms, apartments, and other areas where privacy and noise control matter.

Impact-Resistant Drywall

Impact-resistant drywall is reinforced to provide greater resistance to dents, punctures, and everyday wear than standard gypsum board. It works well in hallways, commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, garages, and other high-traffic areas where interior walls need additional durability and protection from frequent impact.

650-Square-Foot Residential Drywall Remodeling Project

Gordon was remodeling several rooms in his Livonia home and needed new drywall installed after the existing interior surfaces were removed. The project included approximately 650 square feet of wall and ceiling area, with several sections requiring careful work around electrical outlets, corners, door openings, and existing surfaces.

The goal was to create smooth, even walls and ceilings that would be ready for painting while making the newly installed drywall blend naturally with the surrounding areas of the home.

Uneven Wall Transitions and Existing Surface Challenges

The project involved more than simply hanging drywall panels. Several existing surfaces had uneven transitions, and the new drywall needed to connect cleanly with areas that were remaining in place. Gordon also wanted the finished surfaces to have a consistent appearance under the home's existing lighting.

New Gypsum Board Installation, Taping & Level 4 Finishing

We began by measuring the work areas and determining the appropriate 1/2-inch gypsum drywall panels for the project.

Special attention was given to corners, joints, ceiling transitions, and openings around doors and electrical fixtures. Where new drywall met existing textured surfaces, we also performed texture matching to create a more seamless transition between the old and new areas.

5-Day Drywall Installation and Finishing Schedule

Day 1: Site preparation, measurements, material staging, and drywall installation

Day 2: Completion of drywall installation and preparation of seams

Day 3: Taping and first coats of joint compound

Day 4: Additional coats, sanding, and surface preparation

Day 5: Final inspection, touch-ups, texture matching, and cleanup

$2,800–$3,200 Estimated Drywall Project Investment

Actual drywall costs can vary based on project size, drywall type, ceiling height, accessibility, existing wall conditions, finish level, and the amount of repair or preparation required. A site assessment provides a more accurate project estimate.

Smooth, Paint-Ready Walls With Seamless Texture Matching

The completed walls and ceilings provided Gordon with a smooth, paint-ready surface throughout the remodeled areas. Careful finishing and texture matching helped the new drywall integrate with the home's existing interior, giving the remodeled rooms a consistent and finished appearance.

Water-Damaged Drywall With Cracks and Staining

The hallway had several smaller areas with cracked seams and soft spots. A portion of the ceiling near the plumbing area also showed discoloration and minor sagging.

Rather than applying joint compound directly over the damaged areas, the affected drywall was evaluated to determine which sections could be repaired and which needed complete replacement.

Our on-site inspection identified:

Approximately 260 sq. ft. of drywall requiring removal and replacement

Approximately 160 sq. ft. requiring localized drywall repair

Multiple damaged drywall seams

Several nail pops and surface dents

Water staining around the affected plumbing area

Uneven transitions between damaged and existing drywall

Existing wall texture that needed to be matched after repairs

After: Smooth, Uniform and Paint-Ready Surfaces

After completion, the damaged drywall areas were restored with new gypsum board, properly finished seams, and texture that blended with the surrounding walls.

The previously stained and deteriorated sections were replaced rather than covered, while areas with less extensive damage were repaired and refinished.

The completed surfaces provided:

Smooth, even wall and ceiling surfaces

Properly finished drywall seams

Repaired screw and fastener locations

Blended transitions between new and existing drywall

Matched orange peel texture

Paint-ready surfaces

A consistent appearance throughout the repaired areas

Damaged Drywall Removal

We carefully removed approximately 260 square feet of water-damaged drywall from the bedroom wall, hallway, and ceiling area. Sections with staining, soft spots, bubbling paper, and deteriorated gypsum were cut out to create clean edges for replacement.

New Drywall Installation

The new panels were securely fastened to the framing and aligned with the surrounding drywall.

Localized Drywall Repairs

Approximately 160 square feet of surrounding drywall was repaired rather than replaced. We addressed smaller areas of cracking, dents, nail pops, damaged seams, and surface imperfections to restore the existing drywall without unnecessary removal.

Taping, Mudding & Sanding

After installation and repairs, we applied drywall tape and multiple coats of joint compound to the seams and fastener locations. Each area was feathered and sanded to create smooth transitions between the repaired sections and the existing wall surfaces.

Level 4 Finish

We prepared the repaired and newly installed drywall to a Level 4 finish, creating a consistent, smooth surface suitable for painting. Extra attention was given to seams and transitions that could become more noticeable under direct lighting.

Orange Peel Texture Matching

The existing walls featured an orange peel texture, so we matched the surrounding texture across the repaired areas. This helped the new drywall blend naturally with the existing walls instead of leaving obvious differences between the old and new surfaces.
