Drywall Installation Services

Residential Drywall Installation

New homes, room additions, and single-room projects. We hang drywall on walls and ceilings with correct screw patterns, proper panel staggering, and tight butt joints. Our residential crews protect your flooring and furnishings, contain dust with plastic barriers, and clean up at the end of every work day.

Commercial Drywall Installation

Office buildouts, retail spaces, and tenant improvements on metal stud framing. We install fire-rated assemblies, sound-rated partitions, and multi-layer systems that meet commercial building codes. Our crews coordinate with general contractors and other trades to stay on schedule without sacrificing quality.

Renovation & Addition Drywall

Adding a room, converting a garage, or gutting an existing space requires drywall that blends with the original structure. We match wall thickness, panel type, and finish level so new sections are indistinguishable from the rest of the home. Seamless transitions at every junction point.

Proper Hanging Technique Matters

The difference between a quality drywall job and a mediocre one comes down to technique. Our installation crews follow strict protocols that prevent callbacks and produce walls that stay flat for decades.

1

Ceilings First, Then Walls

We always hang ceiling panels before wall panels. This creates tighter joints at the wall-ceiling junction and provides structural support where gravity works against the installation.

2

Correct Screw Spacing

Every screw is driven to the correct depth at manufacturer- specified intervals. Overdriven screws break the paper face and lose holding power. Underdriven screws create bumps that show through the finish coat.

3

Staggered Joint Layout

We stagger all panel joints so seams never align across adjacent sheets. This distributes structural stress, reduces visible cracking over time, and produces a stronger wall assembly that handles settling and vibration.

4

Licensed, Insured, Permitted

Full liability insurance on every project. We pull permits when required by Washoe County building codes and coordinate inspections so your project stays compliant from start to finish.

Efficient crew coordination

Proper Hanging Technique

Ceilings hung first, walls second. Correct screw depth at every fastener. Staggered joints across all panels. Back-blocking at butt joints on ceilings. These are the fundamentals that separate professional installation from rushed work, and they prevent cracking, nail pops, and uneven surfaces years down the road.

Efficient Crew Coordination

Our hanging crews and finishing crews work in coordinated phases. Hanging is completed section by section, followed immediately by taping and mudding. This phased approach minimizes total project time while allowing proper drying between compound coats.

Clean Jobsite Practices

Dust containment barriers go up before the first panel is cut. HEPA-filtered sanders capture airborne particles during finishing. Scrap drywall and packaging are removed daily. We leave your space broom-clean at the end of every work day, not just when the project wraps up.

Drywall Installation Process

Assessment & Planning

We measure every wall and ceiling, identify framing issues, check for plumbing and electrical clearances, and calculate exact material quantities. You receive a written scope of work with a clear timeline before we begin.

Material Selection

Standard 1/2-inch panels for most walls, 5/8-inch for ceilings and fire-rated assemblies, moisture-resistant board for bathrooms and kitchens. We select the right panel type, length, and thickness for each area of your project.

Professional Installation

Panels hung with correct orientation, proper fastener spacing, and staggered joints. Ceilings first, then walls. Cut-outs for outlets, switches, and fixtures are precise and tight. Every seam is taped and receives multiple coats of joint compound.

Finishing & Inspection

After final sanding, we inspect every surface under raking light to catch imperfections invisible under normal conditions. We walk through the finished project with you, address any concerns, and leave the space clean and paint-ready.

Drywall Installation FAQs

How long does drywall installation take?
A single room typically takes 3 to 5 days from hanging through final sanding, accounting for drying time between compound coats. A full home installation ranges from 2 to 4 weeks depending on square footage and complexity. We provide a specific timeline during your initial consultation.
What types of drywall do you install?
We install standard gypsum board, moisture-resistant green board and purple board for wet areas, Type X fire-rated panels for garages and code-required assemblies, and lightweight panels for ceiling applications. We select the appropriate type based on location, code requirements, and your project needs.
Do you handle both hanging and finishing?
Yes. We provide complete installation from hanging through finishing. Our hanging crews and finishing crews work in coordinated phases so there is no gap between stages. You get one contractor, one point of contact, and one warranty covering the entire installation.
Can you match the texture on my existing walls?
Yes. Texture matching is part of every renovation and addition project. Whether your home has knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, or smooth walls, we replicate the existing pattern so new and old sections blend together. We test on a sample area first and get your approval before full application.
Are you licensed and insured in Nevada?
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and are licensed to operate in Nevada. We pull permits when required by Washoe County and coordinate all necessary inspections. Proof of insurance and licensing is available upon request before any project begins.
