Commercial Drywall
Our commercial crews handle projects of any scale, from small office renovations to large commercial builds. We meet tight deadlines, coordinate with multiple trades, and deliver quality workmanship that meets commercial building codes. Services include metal stud framing, fire-rated assemblies, sound-rated partitions, and level 5 finishes for critical spaces.
Drywall Installation
Our drywall installation service means keeping your walls clean, straight, and built to last. We install everything from standard drywall to moisture-resistant and fire-rated panels, and we know exactly when and where to use each one. Need ceilings done, too? We take care of that with full ceiling drywall installation, soundproofing, and gypsum board systems for quieter, stronger walls. From homes to commercial spaces, everything gets built to last.
Drywall Repair
Don't let damaged drywall detract from your home's appearance. We repair holes from doorknobs, removed fixtures, or accidents, fix cracks from settling or impact, and restore water-damaged drywall. Our patches blend seamlessly with existing walls, and we match texture patterns so repairs are virtually invisible after painting.
Drywall Taping and Mudding
Proper taping and mudding is critical for achieving smooth, crack-free walls. We apply paper or mesh tape to all seams, use multiple coats of joint compound applied in progressively wider passes, feather edges for seamless transitions, and sand to perfection. Our techniques prevent common problems like visible seams, nail pops, and cracking.
Drywall Texturing and Finish Coating
The finish makes all the difference in drywall quality. We deliver smooth level 5 finishes for critical lighting areas, apply knockdown and orange peel textures to match existing walls, and create custom decorative finishes. Our experienced finishers understand proper mud application, sanding techniques, and texture matching for professional results.
Ceiling Drywall Installation
Whether installing new drywall ceilings, repairing water damage, or fixing cracks and sagging, we handle all ceiling work with precision. We install standard and cathedral ceilings, repair damaged sections, address structural issues causing problems, and ensure proper insulation and ventilation. Our work creates flat, smooth ceilings ready for any finish.
Water Damage Drywall Repair
Water damage requires immediate attention to prevent mold and structural issues. We assess the extent of damage, remove compromised drywall, treat affected areas for mold prevention, and install new drywall with proper moisture barriers. We coordinate with restoration companies and insurance adjusters to ensure complete, code-compliant repairs.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Update your home by removing outdated popcorn texture ceilings. We safely scrape away popcorn texture, test for asbestos if necessary, repair the ceiling surface underneath, and apply modern smooth or knockdown finishes. Our containment systems minimize dust and mess, and we handle all prep work and cleanup for a hassle-free transformation.
Drywall Soundproofing
Create quieter spaces with soundproofing drywall systems designed to reduce noise transmission. We install multiple layers of drywall with sound-dampening compound, use resilient channels to decouple walls from studs, seal all penetrations and gaps, and can add insulation for enhanced performance. Ideal for home theaters, bedrooms, offices, and multi-family units.
Drywall Framing and Structural Support
Complete framing services using metal studs or wood construction. We build load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, install blocking for fixtures, and ensure all framing is square, plumb, and properly anchored. Strong framing creates walls that last. Our experience with both residential and commercial framing ensures your project starts with a solid foundation.
Drywall Partition Installation
Interior partition installation to divide spaces, create new rooms, or reconfigure commercial layouts. We build office partitions, privacy walls, and structural divisions that integrate seamlessly with existing architecture while meeting code requirements. Perfect for creating functional spaces in homes, offices, and commercial buildings.

Common Drywall Questions
What types of drywall materials do you work with? ▼
We install standard drywall, moisture-resistant (green board/purple board) for bathrooms and kitchens, fire-rated Type X for garages and fire separation walls, soundproof drywall for noise control, and mold-resistant products for high-humidity areas.
How long does a typical drywall project take? ▼
Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A single room repair might take 1-2 days including drying time. Full home installations typically require 3-7 days from hanging through final sanding. Commercial projects are scheduled based on square footage and coordination with other trades.
Can you match existing wall textures for repairs? ▼
Yes. We're experienced in matching knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, and other common textures. We test patterns on scrap material first to ensure the repair blends seamlessly with your existing walls.
Do you handle water damage restoration? ▼
Absolutely. We assess water-damaged drywall, remove compromised sections, treat for mold prevention, install moisture barriers, and replace with appropriate materials. We work with insurance companies and can coordinate with restoration specialists if needed.
Is popcorn ceiling removal safe in older homes? ▼
For homes built before 1980, we recommend asbestos testing first. If asbestos is present, we follow strict containment and abatement protocols or refer you to licensed asbestos removal specialists. For non-asbestos popcorn, removal is safe and straightforward.
Do you work with contractors and builders? ▼
Yes. We regularly partner with general contractors, builders, and property managers on residential and commercial projects. We understand construction schedules, coordinate with other trades, and deliver on-time results that keep your project moving.
What's included in your cleanup process? ▼
We vacuum all drywall dust, remove debris and scrap materials, clean floors and surfaces, and leave your space ready for the next phase. For occupied homes, we use dust containment systems to minimize mess in other areas.
Are you licensed and insured? ▼
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage to protect you and our crew. We're licensed to perform drywall work in North Carolina and follow all local building codes and safety regulations.
