Drywall Installation: Hire the Best Drywall Installers
The drywall installation process is typically split into two focused trades. First, our installers handle the layout and heavy lifting—they can hang up to 100 drywall sheets in a day by mapping out efficient placements to minimize waste. Then our drywall finishers take over, carefully taping all the joints and covering every nail spot in preparation for the finish, whether it’s textured or smooth.
Drywall is the unsung hero of your home—it’s not just a backdrop. It serves as a layer of protection: offering fireproofing with Type X drywall, guarding against mold with resistant materials, or delivering soundproofing for custom homes. We secure great pricing on materials, and when you choose us, you get those benefits too.
Why Drywall Is Essential for Modern Homes and Commercial Projects
Drywall (also known as gypsum board or wallboard) is a go-to material in modern construction—and for good reason. It’s fire-resistant, affordable, and fast to install. Whether you’re adding drywall to a new construction home or replacing old drywall in a renovation, choosing quality materials and an expert installer ensures long-lasting results.
Drywall installation also contributes to insulation, soundproofing, and overall energy efficiency. It creates a durable barrier that supports the structure of your space while offering flexibility for painting, texturing, or wallpapering. Not to mention, it helps meet fire rating requirements and local building codes for safety.
Not all drywall is the same, either—there are different types depending on the room and its needs. Gypsum board is for general use, moisture-resistant drywall is for bathrooms, and even soundproof drywall is for studios or offices. The right material matters just as much as the right installer.
Step-by-Step Guide to Drywall Installation
Installing and finishing drywall isn't just hammer-and-nails work. It's a detailed, labor-intensive process that requires proper tools, materials, and precision. Here's our proven process:
tep 1: Prepare the Frame and Worksite
Before installing drywall, we inspect the frame to ensure it’s clean, level, and code-compliant. This includes marking the location of joists, checking stud spacing, and ensuring electrical fixtures and plumbing are in place.
We also take care to secure the work site by removing old drywall if needed, covering the floors, and setting up a safe layout for tools and equipment.
Step 2: Measure and Cut the Drywall
We use a tape measure and drywall saw to cut each sheet into the correct dimensions. Accuracy is key, so we make cuts with clean lines to prevent gaps and save on joint work later.
We consider the placement of electrical boxes, vents, and lighting fixtures when cutting and ensure the cuts align with the framing. We want every piece of drywall to fit like a puzzle.
Step 3: Hang the Drywall
We start with the ceiling, using a drywall lift when necessary. Next, we install drywall sheets on the walls, fastening each piece securely with drywall screws. We ensure the boards align perfectly along the floor and outside corners.
Our team pays close attention to screw spacing and depth, screwing the panels in just enough to sink the screw heads slightly below the surface—without breaking the paper face. That’s pro-level care.
Step 4: Tape and Mud the Seams
Once all panels are up, we begin taping the joints with joint tape, followed by mudding with joint compound. This step includes applying coats of mud to screw heads, seams, and corners for a smooth, seamless surface.
Each coat of drywall mud is applied evenly, with drying time between each. The number of coats depends on the level of finish desired—from basic utility to full paint-ready finish. We also apply beads to outside corners for durability and clean lines.
Step 5: Sanding and Finishing Touches
After the mud dries, we sand the drywall carefully to ensure a uniform surface. We finish with corner beads for clean outside corners, patch any imperfections, and prepare the area for paint or wallpaper.
We always wear dust masks and thoroughly clean the area before considering the job done. We also conduct detailed inspections and adjustments to ensure perfection.

What People Are Asking
How much drywall do you need for a room?
Use our cost calculator! Simply enter the room’s dimensions, and it’ll estimate how much drywall you need in square feet or by the sheet.
How long does it take to install drywall in a house?
For a standard-sized home, installation typically takes 2–5 days, depending on the size, the number of rooms, and the amount of mudding and sanding required.
What's the difference between gypsum board and drywall?
They’re the same thing! Gypsum board is the technical name; drywall and sheetrock are the standard terms.
Can you install drywall over old drywall?
Yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing drywall. Sometimes removing old panels is better for long-term durability.
What's included in finishing work?
Taping, mudding, sanding, and applying corner beads for a smooth final surface.
How thick should drywall be for walls and ceilings?
Standard thickness is 1/2 inch for walls and 5/8 inch for ceilings or soundproof areas.
Do you handle patch jobs, too?
Yes! While we specialize in full installs, we’re happy to patch small areas as part of remodeling or repair work.
What kind of drywall should you use for bathrooms?
Moisture-resistant drywall or “green board” is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and any area with high humidity.
Do you follow local building codes?
Absolutely. We ensure every project we complete complies with local building regulations and best practices.
Do you need to be home during installation?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access and a clear scope of work, our crew can handle the job with minimal disruption.
