Drywall services for every project
From a single hole to a 10,000 sq ft commercial build-out. Same crew, same standards.
Residential Drywall
Complete drywall solutions. From a single family to multi-family construction, we provide services from small to large custom homes or basement suites.
Commercial Drywall
From a small to large construction or renovation of a commercial space, we provide professional drywall and framing.
Insulation | Spray Foam, Attic & Batt
Spray foam is the way of the future: efficient to install and superior at preventing heat transfer. Our batt and blown-in options keep your home comfortable year-round, with efficiency and soundproofing recommended across Canada.
Renovation
Professional service you can count on. Whether you want to remove popcorn texture or modernize the look and feel of your house, we can provide expert services.
Drywall Taping
No drywall installation is complete without taping and mudding. Without the proper tape and mud, your drywall is prone to cracking.
Texture
Knockdown is our top texture choice: light and smooth in appearance, it adds a sense of height to a room and maximum value to your home.
T-Bar Ceilings
Fully machine-welded structural lintel beams. Traditional steel sections used to support brickwork over large, clear openings without relying on composite action.
Steel Studs
Now the standard for most commercial construction, steel-stud framing outperforms wood with greater dimensional accuracy and built-in resistance to rot and warping.
Things to know about drywall installation
The details that separate a flat, lasting finish from a wavy patch job — here’s what our crew keeps in mind on every install.
PROPER FRAMING
Good drywall starts with good framing. Make sure the framing is straight and true before you hang a single sheet — twisted or bowed wall studs telegraph straight through the board and leave you with wavy, uneven walls.
STUDS LOCATION
Mark out your framing before you start. Knowing exactly where the studs are lets you land every screw in solid wood, so you don’t waste time backing out fasteners that missed. A light pencil line across the sheet gives you a guide to drive screws quickly and accurately.
START WITH THE CEILING
Always hang the ceiling first. Getting the overhead sheets up before the walls makes it far easier to line up your edges and corners, and lets the wall sheets support the ceiling board along its perimeter.
TRIM OUTLETS
Don’t forget to cut your outlet openings before fastening the board. Skip this step and the drywall tends to crack around the electrical box, costing you extra patching time. Measure carefully, cut the opening, then press the sheet tight to the wall — trimming the edges until it slides cleanly over the box before you finish fastening.
GET THE PROPER TOOLS
Invest in quality tools and the right screws. Drywall comes in different thicknesses, so match your screw length to the board. Use a drywall screw gun rather than a standard drill — it’s lightweight, lets you lock the trigger for fast driving, and its cone tip holds the screw and sets a consistent depth every time.
MIND YOUR SCREW SPACING
Use enough fasteners to hold the board securely. On ceilings and walls over wood studs, keep screws to a maximum of 12 inches on centre, and drive them about 1/32 inch below the surface without breaking the paper. Press the board tight to the framing as you fasten — an extra set of hands makes this far easier.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
Hang and finish drywall at 13°C (55°F) or warmer. Board expands and contracts with temperature — sheets hung in the cold can grow up to 1/2 inch over 100 feet as it warms to 22°C (72°F) — so leave a 1/8 inch gap between sheets for movement. Never let finishing compounds freeze before they fully cure, or they can lose their strength and bond.
KEEP THE SITE CLEAN
Keep the work area tidy before, during, and after the job. A build-up of debris and dust can hide hazards and lead to injury — a clean site is a safer, more efficient one.
PROPER INSTALLATION
Last but not least, make sure the board is properly attached. Cutting corners here almost always causes problems down the line. It’s tempting to rush the hanging and count on the finisher to hide the mistakes, but that never works out — take the time to install the panels right the first time.
