Drywall

Walls provide distinct definition to interior spaces, from dressing rooms and merchandise display sections to bedrooms, dining rooms, dens and closets. One of the most rewarding renovation projects in a store or a home is reconfiguring space by removing and adding walls. Removing walls can completely alter the look and feel inside, offering a more spacious room for store displays, entertaining and relaxing. On the flip side, having us frame a space and frame a doorway to get in can provide a wonderful private home office, dressing room, closet, dedicated homeschool room, extra bedroom or exclusive mud room for the dogs and kids.

Removing Walls and Doors

is messy work, and we take it all in stride. Old drywall, non-load-bearing frames, doors, hinges and trim can all be carted away and the area cleaned up for renovation. From there, our expert carpenter team can refinish edges, corners and places where walls used to be, so it looks like everything was built that way in the first place.

Drywall Installation

Maybe seem like one of those “how hard can it be?” scenarios, but the steps are multiple and begin with carrying 4 x 8’ sheets ½-inch thick into the renovation space. They each weigh about 52 pounds and are incredibly awkward to handle. Our carpenters work together moving them, measuring and placing them and affixing them with the best hardware for the job. There’s usually some definitive cutting to fit, maybe some patching, followed by taping, spackling, sanding, examining, sanding some more and examining again and again until the whole wall is flat and smooth.

Framing for Walls and Doors

Entails excellent planning and precision measurements, making everything square and parallel for optimum results. Wood planks need to be placed and anchored correctly for accepting drywall and doors accurately. The adage “measure twice and cut once” is enthusiastically embraced by all our carpenters.
