III.PROCESS

Our Drywall Process

1. 1

   Layout and assembly review — we confirm wall types, fire ratings, and finish levels against the plans before a single sheet is hung.

2. 2

   Metal-stud framing and blocking — partitions framed plumb and true, with backing set for cabinetry, fixtures, TVs, and grab bars.

3. 3

   Hang — board installed to the correct assembly, with fire-rated layers and fastener patterns to spec.

4. 4

   Tape and finish — seams taped and coated, built up to the specified Level 4 or Level 5 finish.

5. 5

   Firestopping and inspection — penetrations firestopped, top-of-wall detailed, and the rough inspection scheduled proactively.

6. 6

   Prime-ready handoff — surfaces sanded and cleaned so paint goes on over a genuinely finished wall.

VI.FAQ

Commercial Drywall — FAQ

What's the difference between a Level 4 and Level 5 finish?

Level 4 has taped joints and fasteners coated and sanded — the commercial standard, and perfectly clean under flat or eggshell paint in normal lighting. Level 5 adds a thin skim coat over the entire surface, which is what you need under critical raking light (near windows, wall-wash lighting) or under semi-gloss and gloss paint, where a Level 4 wall would show every seam. We identify which walls need Level 5 rather than upcharging the whole job.

Do you build fire-rated and demising walls to code?

Yes. We build Type X fire-rated and tenant demising walls to the tested UL assembly — correct board layers, fastener spacing, insulation, and firestopping at penetrations and top-of-wall — so the rating holds up at inspection and in practice.

Can you work in an occupied building?

Yes. We contain dust, protect adjacent tenant spaces, and can phase or schedule after hours to keep disruption down. Drywall sanding is the messiest step, and we plan it so it doesn't spill into occupied areas.

Do you handle the framing too?

Yes — we do the metal-stud framing, blocking, and backing along with the drywall, so the walls are plumb, the ratings are right, and there's solid backing where fixtures, casework, and TVs land.
