Which Types of Drywall Are Available and Which Is Best for Your House?
Drywall isn’t one-size-fits-all. Certain rooms in your home can benefit from specialty drywall products that add function, safety, and long-term value.
Here are three popular options and where they work best:
Soundproof Drywall
Built with extra layers and sound-dampening materials, this drywall is ideal for media rooms, home offices, bedrooms, and basement suites where reducing noise is a priority.
Fire-Resistant Drywall (Type X)
Reinforced with non-combustible fibers, fire-resistant drywall helps slow the spread of flames, making it the smart choice for garages, utility rooms, furnace rooms, and any space near wood stoves or fireplaces.
Moisture and Mold-Resistant Drywall (Green Board or Purple Board)
Especially beneficial for use in our moisture-prone climate, green and purple board drywall is engineered to resist water absorption and mold growth. It’s best used in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas, and basements,

What’s Involved in Home Drywall Installation?
Our home drywall installation services include measuring, cutting, and securely attaching drywall panels to framing, followed by taping, mudding, sanding, and finishing to create a smooth, uniform surface.
How Do You Install Drywall on a Ceiling?
For most home projects, we install ceiling drywall first, using lifts or support systems while paying special attention to joist alignment, screw spacing, and sag prevention to facilitate a clean and durable finish.
Which Steps Do Drywall Installers Take To Get Mud Perfect?
A smooth finish requires multiple coats of joint compound, precise seam feathering, and careful sanding between layers. Check out our photo gallery to see recent examples of our high-quality work.
Drywall Repair Services
Drywall’s lightweight construction and porous composition make it a go-to material for interior walls and ceilings. However, those same features also make it vulnerable to wear and tear over time. From dents and cracks to water damage and popped nails, even slight imperfections can affect the look and integrity of your walls.
Are you ready to erase drywall imperfections, make large holes disappear, and say goodbye to dents, dings, and scratches? We provide expert drywall repair services to restore smooth surfaces that are ready for paint, wallpaper, and other decorative finishes.
How Do You Fix Drywall Holes, Dents, and Scratches?
We fix drywall issues from minor dings to large holes, using proven techniques to restore your wall to a like-new condition. First, we assess the extent of the damage to determine the best approach. When it’s a small hole or surface scratch, we typically fill the gap with a lightweight patching compound, then sand it smooth once it’s had enough time to dry.
For larger holes, we cut out the damaged section, install a drywall patch or backing support, and then tape, mud, and sand the area to blend seamlessly with your surrounding wall.
Which Steps Do You Take To Repair Damaged Drywall Corners?
Repairing damaged drywall corners requires precision and attention to detail to restore clean, professional-looking lines.
Here’s how our team handles the process to ensure a seamless, long-lasting result:
- Initial damage assessment
- Removal of bent, cracked, or loose corner damage
- Installation of new corner bead, whether metal, vinyl, or paper-faced material
- Application of layered joint compound, with appropriate drying periods
- Sanding to eliminate ridges and create perfectly flush surfaces
This process restores your corner’s structural integrity while maintaining the clean, crisp edges that give your walls their finished look.
When Should You Replace Your Drywall?
While many drywall issues are easy to solve, there are times when replacing damaged drywall is the safest and most cost-effective solution. You should consider replacing wall and ceiling material when it’s damaged by moisture, shows signs of mold or mildew, or has sustained significant structural wear that compromises its integrity. Persistent soft spots, discolouration, and crumbling areas are all signs that patching may no longer be sufficient.
How Much Does It Cost To Install and Finish Drywall?
Drywall pricing varies based on project size, drywall type, and finish level. We offer transparent, no-obligation quotes and help you choose options that fit your budget and project completion date goals.
