Drywall Installation & Finishing
Drywall Done Flat, Straight, and Ready to Paint
Drywall is the surface everything else gets judged against. A wavy joint or a visible patch shows up the moment the light hits it — so the taping and finishing matter as much as the board itself. We hang, tape, finish, and repair drywall across Laval and Montreal, for single patches through to full rooms.

How It Works
From bare studs to a surface that's genuinely ready for primer.
Measure & Specify
We confirm what the space needs — standard 1/2 inch board, 5/8 inch Type X where fire rating is required, or moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and basements.
Hang the Board
Sheets are cut and fastened to minimize joints, because every joint you avoid is one you never have to hide.
Tape & Finish
Taping and plastering to the level the job calls for — Level 1/2 where it will be concealed, Level 4 where it gets primed and painted.
Sand & Inspect
We sand and then check the surface under raking light, which is the only reliable way to catch a joint that will telegraph through paint.
What's Included
The full range, from a fist-sized hole to a whole room.
New Drywall Installation
Standard, fire-rated Type X, and moisture-resistant board hung on walls and ceilings.
Taping & Plastering
Finished to Level 1/2 or Level 4 depending on whether the surface stays concealed or gets painted.
Patches of Any Size
From small repairs under a square foot up to large sections, blended into the surrounding wall.
Skim Coating & Corner Bead
Skim coats to even out a tired surface, plus corner bead installed and finished for clean, durable edges.
Board choice in Laval buildings
Which board goes up isn't a preference, it's determined by where it's going. Shared walls and ceilings in the multiplex stock that makes up much of Chomedey need fire-rated 5/8 Type X; bathrooms and below-grade rooms need moisture-resistant board. Standard 1/2 is for everywhere else. Getting that wrong is expensive to discover later, so it's settled before anything is ordered.
Most of the drywall work here follows something else. After water damage the wet board comes out and new board goes back in, which is why so many of these jobs start on the restoration side rather than as a planned renovation. In finished basements across the 1950s-60s bungalow stock, that usually means opening up more than the visible damage suggests.
Level of finish is the other decision worth making deliberately. Level 4 is what gets primed and painted in a living space; Level 1 or 2 is fine where the surface stays concealed behind cabinetry or in a utility area. Finishing everything to Level 4 is a way of paying for work nobody will ever see.
