Why Professional Drywall Installation Matters

Drywall isn’t just for looks—it’s your wall’s armor. It helps with fire resistance, temperature control, and soundproofing. In Denver, where we deal with dry air, seasonal temperature swings, and older home construction, proper drywall installation helps prevent future issues like cracking seams or bowed boards.

We’ve worked in every kind of home from Sloan’s Lake ranches to LoHi townhouses, and one thing is clear: correct installation is key to making your renovation last.

Our Drywall Installation Services in Denver

Full Sheet Hanging

We use full 4x8 or 4x12 sheets depending on room size to minimize seams and improve wall strength. Most residential walls get 1/2-inch drywall, while ceilings or garage walls may require thicker or fire-rated boards.

Basement Finishing

Drywall in Denver basements often needs moisture-resistant board, especially in areas like Five Points or Hilltop with older foundations. We frame, insulate, and hang moisture-rated drywall to help protect your space.

Ceiling Installation

Ceilings are tricky—gravity isn’t your friend here. We use panel lifts to hold boards steady and ensure tight, clean seams. We also offer optional soundproofing between floors.

New Construction & Additions

If you’re building out a new room or full addition, we handle everything from sheet hanging to finish mudding. We coordinate with other trades to ensure tight schedules and clean finishes.

Fire-Resistant and Sound-Dampening Boards

We often install Type X drywall in garages and utility rooms per local code. For bedrooms or shared walls (especially in duplexes around Baker or RiNo), we also offer sound-dampening options.

Local Know-How, Better Results

We source our drywall from Interstate Roofing & Supply, a Colorado supplier who understands our unique climate and code. We also follow all Denver residential building codes to ensure your project passes inspections the first time.

How We Install Drywall: Our Proven 4-Step Process

1. Site Prep and Framing Check

We start by checking framing alignment, marking out electrical and plumbing lines, and confirming moisture levels in basements.

2. Sheet Hanging

Using panel lifters and precise measurement, we hang full drywall sheets with as few cuts and seams as possible. Corners are tightly butted, and screws are placed below the surface to avoid bubbling.

3. Taping and Mudding

We apply tape over all seams and joints with a durable setting compound. After a dry time, we return for second and third coats, feathering out the edges for a seamless finish.

4. Sanding, Texture, and Primer

Once the mud is dry, we sand and clean for a smooth finish. We can match your existing texture—knockdown, orange peel, smooth—or leave it bare for painting. Primer is then applied for an even paint coat later.

Common Questions from Our Denver Clients

"Do you handle permits for new drywall?"
Yes, for remodels or additions requiring inspection, we’ll guide you through the permitting process and make sure everything is up to Denver code.

"Can I hang drywall myself and have you finish it?"
You can, but we recommend full installation by pros for best results. DIY hanging often leads to uneven seams or poor alignment, which are harder to correct later.

"What drywall do you use in basements?"
We use mold- and moisture-resistant boards like green board or purple board depending on the space and budget.

Drywall and Denver's Weather: What You Should Know

Denver’s wide temperature swings and dry air can affect drywall expansion and contraction. That’s why we use premium joint compound and flexible corner beads to reduce cracking. In areas near exterior walls or older windows (like homes in Congress Park), we may also recommend added insulation behind the drywall to prevent thermal stress.

When to Schedule Your Drywall Install in Denver

We get a spike in drywall installations in early spring—just after the snow melts and homeowners start finishing basements or adding rooms. We also see a rush in the fall, as families prep their homes for the holidays.

Keep an eye on events like the Denver Home Show each March—we often schedule consultations around this time for people inspired by renovation ideas they saw at the show.
