Experience = Quality

Our experienced drywall installers and drywall finishers have seen it all and know that they are looked to for turning out a quality job done right. Drywall is a versatile, affordable, and relatively easy-to-install material - However, the performance of your drywall will largely be determined by the drywall installation and drywall finishing processes that take place – and that’s why it’s so important that you use a drywall company that is knowledgeable about the trade and packed full of experience - and cares about a quality job. With a quality installation process, you can expect to have many trouble-free years without issues relating to your drywall. We recommend triple checking where the cabinets are going to be installed to assure a flat wall for cabinet and backsplash installation. A good installer is on the lookout for walls and ceilings that are not flat so this can be brought to the attention of the GC and taken care of instead of just covering it over and having an unsightly lump in the wall or ceiling. While it is the GC's responsibility to have the framing checked ahead of sheetrock installation - Drywall Pros takes a 'team-approach' and tries their best to help catch these issues ahead of time to ensure a quality product when the drywall finish is all said and done!

Quality Assurance

Drywall Pros team knows that good work starts with having a good 'can-do' attitude. We strive to take pride in our work and keep a clean working environment. We appreciate that we reflect on the GC who has teamed up with us and put his trust in our doing a good job. As with most trades, if the job is done right - it looks easy! It's only when issues arise that it reveals bad workmanship or a process was not done correctly or skipped over or possibly inferior products were used. Rest assured Drywall Pros uses only quality products that will ensure a long lasting quality finished drywall product. Our hangers and finish tapers take pride in their work and know our policy of 'getting it right the first time' is the only way to approach doing a job. See our Products and Detail pages for some of the preferred products we use and recommend.

At Drywall Pros we have years of perfecting our sheetrock installation and drywall finish techniques and a comprehensive range of drywall textures and level 5 smoothwall finishing options for our clients. Our repeat contractor clientele know they can count on us to do the job right the first time! We do a pre-stocking walk-thru and work with the contractor or homeowner to make sure everything is ready to go! We use quality products such as NO-COAT Pro on our interior valleys for crisp clean lines that are more resistant to opening up / shrinkage cracking and provide years of trouble free drywall finishing. Our crews are skilled in the installation of kerf metal and all kinds of fry reglet and trim-tex product installation and finishing - and best of all they are exceptional with their hand tools and straight edges when necessary!

Drywall Installation

Prior to drywall installation Drywall Pros encourages a pre-stocking / hanging walk-thru to make sure the project is ready to go. Pocket doors should be installed, window jambs with kerf grooves (if receiving kerf metal at doors or windows) should be completed. Walls and ceilings checked for flatness and shimmed or planned down to minimize humps or dips in the wall / ceiling. Window jambs that will receive drywall should be solid shimmed out to the desired margins off the window frames, etc. Electrical wires should be pushed back in boxes as far as possible to minimize the chance of router bit contact. Drywall installation can begin once insulation is completed.

Drywall Tape

There are two basic kinds of drywall joint tapes available - paper and fiberglass mesh. Paper tape is used on new construction with standard taping mud and fiberglass mesh is more designed to use with fast setting hot muds used for patching. Mesh tape is great for those projects that require quick drying time so you can get the next coat on as soon as possible. Drywall Pros will typically use a standard topping mud for the final coat as this will sand and finish the best before we move on to the texture coat.

"I have used Mike Wells for years before he started Drywall Pros with Tom a few years back - Drywall Pros has picked up with the same quality and dependable service that Mike has always provided and they built on that and now provide an incredible drywall service - nice to have them on my team! We get nothing but compliments from our owners and architects. They are great to work with!"
-Steve G., Contractor

Texturing Drywall

Drywall Pros offers a wide range of texturing options. We highly recommend a level 4 imperfect smoothwall or cottage texture (some call it a light 'Old World' texture) It is basically a smooth putty coat on most of the exposed drywall so it primes and paints very well and is exceptional for covering nails, screws and the tape and butt joints. It also holds up much better to wood shrinkage and nail pops than level 5 smoothwall and is much easier to patch and paint. It has small imperfections / light voids in the smoothwall to give it a textured look and feel and these can be increased or decreased according to your preference. We also offer the other standard drywall textures such as spray knockdown, medium orange peel texture, skip trowel, and any other texture that is out there!

Drywall Finishing

After the tape coat, top coat and skim coat comes the finish coat or texture coats. Some choose the smooth and clean look of a level 5 smoothwall. Drywall Pros has perfected their level 5 smoothwall and it is a preferred finish in many of the modern homes we do when texture of any kind is not preferred. It is imperative that the framing is checked for flatness when large windows let in lots of light interaction!
A quality paint finish is equally important for level 5 to look it's best - but it all starts with quality sheetrock installation and drywall finish by the experienced pros at Drywall Pros!
