Our Residential Drywall Services
Drywall Installation & Replacement
We handle professional drywall installation and replacements for new home builds and remodeling projects. Our certified team uses durable, heavy-duty panels and secures them with code-compliant screws instead of nails. This extra care means your walls won't
sag overtime, requires up to 25% less mudding compound during finishing, and leaves you with perfectly flat walls that are ready for paint.
Drywall Patching & Repair
We fix stress fractures, settling cracks, and impact holes. Many local drywall repairs are caused by foundation settling during our freeze-thaw cycles. Because of this, we don’t just slap on spackle. We cut damaged areas back to the studs, add structural wood blocking, secure matching panels, and apply high-strength fiber mesh tape to ensure cracks never return.
Drywall Finishing
Our finishing crews use automated tools and professional skimming blades to apply perfectly uniform layers of joint compound. Every layer is monitored for moisture and hand-sanded under high-intensity halogen lighting. This eliminates shadows, tool marks, and ridges, leaving a flawless finish for your paint.
Ceiling Drywall Replacement & Repair
Ceiling work requires mechanical lifts and specialized anchoring patterns. We install heavy-duty, sag-resistant ceiling boards engineered to support blown-in attic insulation without bowing. Our teams regularly restore ceilings damaged by roof leaks, winter ice dams, or plumbing issues, blending patches seamlessly under natural light.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Removing outdated textures modernizes your home and can boost its interior market value by 5% to 10%. Our removal process is fully contained: we seal the room with plastic drops, establish negative air pressure, wet-scrape the texture to suppress airborne dust, sand the raw gypsum, skim coat the surface, and apply a premium PVA primer.
Drywall Texture Matching
Matching an existing textured wall profile requires real artistry. Whether your home has orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, sand swirl, or a custom brush finish, our technicians use specialized pneumatic rigs with adjustable nozzles to flawlessly mimic the
surrounding pattern for an invisible patch transition.
Custom Drywall Services
Level 4 & Level 5 Drywall Finishing
Standard Level 4 finishing is perfect for textured walls or flat paints. However, modern homes with dark, high-gloss paints or large windows require an elite Level 5 finish. This process adds a full-surface skim coat over the entire wall to conceal microscopic pores and texture differences, eliminating visual "flashing" under harsh lighting..
Historic Plaster-to-Drywall Matching
Many homes near Downtown Naperville feature traditional lath and plaster walls. When modern upgrades require cutting into these surfaces, blending new drywall with irregular plaster
requires specific transition bonding agents, stabilization screws, and custom mud formulations for a historically accurate restoration.
Radius Walls & Curved Drywall
We construct smooth, curved interior walls and seamless transitions for custom layouts, winding staircases, and rounded entryways. We use multi-layered flexible panels and vinyl corner beads to eliminate the structural stress points that cause standard drywall to crack under tension.
Barrel & Groin Vault Ceilings
Add old-world grandeur to your hallways, kitchens, or wine cellars. We handle the complex geometric layout, radius framing, and double-hung flexible panels needed to execute flawless, wave-free overhead sweeps.
Our Commercial Drywall Services
Commercial Drywall Installation
We execute large-scale installations for offices, retail spaces, medical clinics, and industrial facilities. Our crews
specialize in heavy and light-gauge structural steel stud framing, high-performance 5/8-inch wallboard, and multi-layer perimeter assemblies. We coordinate seamlessly with your on-site mechanical and electrical subcontractors to keep your grand opening on schedule
Commercial Repair & Maintenance
We offer flexible night, weekend, and holiday scheduling to repair impact damage from machinery, forklift punctures,
water leaks, and settling cracks without disrupting your daily operations. Our dust-controlled workflows quickly restore your commercial property to an immaculate, professional state.
Tenant Improvements & Office Build-Outs
We install structural metal track systems and commercial partitions to rapidly reconfigure leased spaces into private offices, conference rooms, or medical exam bays. Our team handles everything from initial layout and steel stud framing to acoustic trim and final painting along the I-88 corridor.
Acoustic & Soundproof Drywall
To ensure privacy in medical exam rooms, boardrooms, and multi-family units, we build sound-rated assemblies using
specialized damping panels like QuietRock. Combined with mineral wool insulation and sound isolation clips, our systems cut noise transmission by up to 75%.
Elevator Shaftwall & Fire-Rated Assemblies
Building codes mandate strict fire separation around mechanical runs, elevator shafts, and stairwells. We construct 1 to 4-hour fire barrier configurations using 1-inch thick shaftwall liner panels, heavy-duty metal studs, and outer Type X or Type C panels, sealing all penetrations with certified firestop sealants.
Impact & Abuse-Resistant Drywall
High-traffic corridors, schools, and hospitals demand tough surfaces. We install abuse-resistant panels featuring dense, fiber-reinforced cores wrapped in abrasion-resistant paper and backed by ballistic fiberglass mesh, reducing long-term maintenance costs by up to 60%.
Our Drywall Process
Step 1: Consultation
We visit your property, take precise
measurements, check your framing, and give you a clear, upfront estimate so you
know exactly what to expect.
Step 2: Preparation
Before we touch a single piece of drywall, we mask off the work zone with heavy-duty plastic, seal your air vents, and lay
down durable floor protection along all walkways.
Step 3: Installation
Our crew hangs the drywall using specialized staggered joints to maximize wall strength, securing everything tightly with rust-resistant screws.
Step 4: Finishing
We tape the seams, apply multiple coats of
smooth compound, and use vacuum-assisted sanders to keep dust out of your air while creating a flawless, paint-ready surface.
Step 5: inspection
Our project manager inspects every inch of the walls using high-powered, flat-angle lights to catch and fix any tiny imperfections before we call the job done..
Step 6: Cleaning
We take down our plastic barriers, haul away all construction debris, and thoroughly vacuum and wipe down the space so it is ready for you to enjoy.

"Had drywall work done during our bathroom renovation and honestly it turned out great. The drywall finishing is super smooth, corners are clean, and you can’t see any seams at all. You can tell they really know drywall and take their time to do it right.
Everything from the drywall install to the taping and texture came out perfect. If you need drywall work done, I’d definitely recommend them."

Residential and Commercial Drywall FAQs
A standard residential project, like a 1,000 square foot basement or home addition, takes 3 to 5 working days. This timeline is dictated by chemical drying times; each layer of mud requires a full 24 hours to cure in our climate before sanding. Rushing this process traps moisture, causing joint cracking and paint failure.
Standard bedrooms and living areas use traditional 1/2-inch gypsum panels. For high-humidity spaces like bathrooms,
kitchens, and laundry rooms, we install moisture-resistant green board or glass-mat panels. Ceilings and attached garage firewall barriers strictly require 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall to satisfy local building safety codes.
Finishing ranges from Level 0 (no tape) to Level 5 (premium smooth). Level 4 involves embedding tape and applying two coats of joint compound over seams and screws, ideal for textured walls or flat, light-colored paints. Level 5 adds a consecutive skim coat over the entire surface, required to eliminate joint flashing under dark paints or glossy finishes.
No. Raw drywall paper and cured joint compound possess different surface porosities. Painting directly over them causes uneven moisture absorption, leading to a patchy defect called "joint flashing." You must apply a high-quality Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) drywall primer coat first to equalize suction and guarantee uniform paint adhesion.
Minor cosmetic repairs, small patches, and popcorn ceiling removals do not require a municipal permit. However,
large-scale structural renovations, room additions, and full basement completions that involve building or moving interior walls require a standard building permit from the City of Naperville.
