Drywall Installation, Repair, and Water Damage Restoration

Drywall installation in Oakland County homes covers a range of conditions. New construction in additions and finished basements. Renovation work where walls come down and go back up. Repair work on existing walls damaged by water, impact, or years of patch jobs that were never finished properly. We use the correct type for each application: moisture-resistant for bathrooms and laundry areas, fire-rated Type X for garages and mechanical rooms, standard panels for general living spaces.

Water damage work requires removing material beyond the visible damage zone. Mold and residual moisture need to be fully addressed before new drywall goes up. We don't re-drywall over damp framing. Backing and blocking get installed for heavy-duty applications: TV mounts, grab bars, heavy mirrors. Fastener spacing follows code specifications to prevent nail pops and panel sag over time.

Finishing is where the quality shows. We tape properly, apply three coats of joint compound with proper feathering, and sand every seam and fastener to an invisible finish. Metro Detroit homeowners who've seen sloppy drywall work — joints that telegraph through paint, ridges visible under light — recognize the difference immediately. We work clean, contain dust with plastic barriers, and leave the space ready for the next phase of the project.
