Our Residential Drywall Services in St. Louis, MO
Residential Drywall Installation
Our drywall experts install drywall throughout entire homes, including basements, additions, and newly framed rooms. Our process starts with measuring and hanging sheets to fit each space, followed by taping, mudding, and sanding to prepare walls for paint. We work with standard 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch drywall depending on the room's function and local building requirements. For basements, we account for moisture levels and select materials suited to below-grade conditions. We also coordinate with framing schedules so drywall goes up once electrical and plumbing rough-ins pass inspection. Our crews finish walls to a smooth, paint-ready surface. We communicate timelines clearly so homeowners know what to expect at each stage of a whole-home or single-room installation.
Residential Drywall Repair & Patching
Our experts repair drywall damage from impact, settling, humidity, or age—patching holes from doorknobs, furniture, or accidents, and fixing seam or corner cracks. Repairs match existing wall texture and thickness for a seamless blend. For larger damage, we cut out and replace affected drywall, securing new material to existing studs, then tape, mud, and sand to a primer-ready finish. We also address underlying causes like loose framing or moisture exposure to prevent recurrence.
Plaster and Lath Repair
Many older St. Louis homes still have original plaster
and lath walls, which need a different repair approach than standard drywall. Our experts have experience restoring these classic features with care. We examine whether the plaster has detached from the lath strips behind it since this is commonly the case in houses that are more than 50 years old; if damage is present we either repair the plaster or replace the affected sections as required. Our professionals attach new plaster to the existing lath by using bonding agents and mesh, and at the same time replicate the wall's texture and thickness so that the repairs will be concealed when the wall is painted. Our team also use special repair methods which differ from those employed with drywall in order to deal with cracks that are particular to plaster.
Water Damage Drywall Restoration
Water damage can weaken drywall and cause mold. If your
walls have been soaked or show signs of mold, we’ll remove and replace the affected sections to keep your space safe and healthy.
The first step is to locate the source of the leak—whether it's coming from the roof, a pipe, or an appliance—and get it
repaired before carrying out the repairs. Then, our experts take away the damaged drywall, allow the area to dry out fully, and check for any mold on the framing. Once the area is clean and dry, we install new drywall which has the same thickness and texture as the existing wall and apply a stain-blocking primer so that the old stains won't show through the new paint. The team can provide documentation of the damage and the repairs if you need it for insurance.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
If you’d like to update your popcorn ceilings, we carefully remove the old texture and replace it with a smooth or lightly textured finish that brightens up your space. The method we use is to wet the ceiling so as to soften the texture and then scrape it off without causing any damage to the drywall beneath. In the case of ceilings that were installed before 1980, we carry out a test for asbestos prior to beginning the removal, as some of the older texture products did contain it. After the popcorn texture has been removed, our experts fix any flaws in the drywall and apply a skim coat to give the surface a smooth finish; we then prime and get the ceiling ready for painting. This service is perfect if you want to refresh the look of a room or fix ceilings that are cracking, stained, or losing their texture over the years.
Drywall Texture Matching
Our team takes extra care to match the repaired area’s texture
with your existing walls and ceilings, so everything blends in seamlessly. Before carrying out any repair work we first determine the present texture pattern and then copy it by using the appropriate tools and methods; this could be done with a hopper gun for sprayed textures or by hand trowelling for special finishes. First, we test the texture on a small sample area by
comparing it with the adjacent wall under various lighting conditions before carrying out the full repair.
Ceiling Drywall Repair
Our experts fix ceiling drywall issues like sagging, cracks,
water stains, or nail pops to help your ceilings look as good as new. Sagging ceilings are usually a sign of moisture damage
or of inadequate support, which is why we check the framing above the ceiling before replacing any drywall. If necessary, we fasten loose sections, replace the panels that have been damaged by water, and deal with the root cause whenever we can. When there are cracks along the seams, we take off the old tape, retape the joint and apply several coats of mud to obtain a durable
and flat surface; nail pops, which occur when the fasteners work through the drywall over time, are resecured and patched one by one. The team carries out all the work needed to repair the ceiling so that it matches the texture of the surrounding area, whatever that maybe—whether it's smooth, popcorn, or a knockdown pattern.
Emergency Drywall Repair
Our experts respond quickly to urgent drywall problems, such as
leaks, storm damage, or situations where your home’s safety is at risk. The first thing we do is to stabilize the situation,
this could involve removing the saturated drywall in order to stop mold growing or filling up any exposed opening. Only after that do we evaluate the full degree of the damage before carrying out the permanent repairs. In insurance cases we take photographs and keep records of the damage at all stages of the process; we act quickly without omitting any steps since hastily carrying out repairs on emergency jobs usually results in troubles later.
When you call us for an emergency, our professionals make it our top priority to prevent further damage to your home and keep your family safe.
Our Commercial Drywall Services in St. Louis, MO
Office Drywall Installation and Repair
Our experts install and repair drywall in office buildings of
any size—from a single office renovation to entire floor expansions. We take care of the framing, hanging, taping, and get your space ready for paint. We know soundproofing matters, especially between conference rooms and workspaces. That’s why we use the right insulation and
drywall thickness to help keep noise where it belongs. The team also works together with electrical and HVAC contractors to ensure that the walls are opened and closed properly around the wiring and ductwork, and when necessary we carry out the work during business hours in order to minimize the disruption to daily operations.
Educational Facilities Drywall Installation
Schools, universities and training centers need drywall
that is durable and safe. We fit impact-resisting drywall in hallways,
gymnasiums and classrooms since there is a concern about daily wear. Our professionals are experienced at working around school schedules—including summer breaks and after-hours—so we don’t disrupt classes, exams, or events. We also carry out the work needed to install fire-rated wall constructions in corridors and mechanical rooms. When carrying out the finishing work we match the existing textures and colors so that the repairs blend in with the rest of the building.
Hotel and Hospitality Installation
Drywall work in hotels and hospitality spaces need to meet high standards for both comfort and safety. Our team installs soundproof walls between guest rooms to help guests enjoy a quieter stay and meet building codes at the same time. We look after the drywall in lobbies, corridors, banquet halls and the areas behind the main part of the hotel, using finish levels that are suitable for each particular space. Together with hotel management we arrange the renovations either during times when occupancy is low or on a floor by floor basis. If water damage from leaks or roof issues has affected your walls, we’ll repair what you see and also address any hidden moisture problems before refinishing, so the fix lasts.
Industrial Facilities Drywall Installation
Warehouses and industrial buildings often require drywall for office areas, break rooms and partition walls within larger open spaces. Our team installs drywall suited to industrial environments, including fire-rated assemblies where required by code. Our work includes framing and finishing administrative offices built within warehouse shells, as well as separating mechanical rooms from work areas. We use materials rated for temperature and humidity variations common in industrial settings. Our experts also handle repairs from forklift damage, equipment impact or settling in older industrial structures. Our team assesses structural framing before repairing drywall to confirm the wall itself is sound.

Value & Comparison FAQ's
Pricing differences usually come down to labor quality, materials, and overhead. A contractor working without insurance or proper licensing can quote lower rates because they carry less risk and less cost. We price our jobs based on the actual scope: square footage, texture matching, ceiling height, and the number of coats needed for a smooth finish.
Some contractors skip steps like sanding between coats or priming before paint, which lowers their price but shortens the lifespan of the repair. Material grade also plays a role. We use standard or moisture-resistant drywall depending on the room, and we don't substitute thinner board to cut costs.
Yes, and the reasoning is straightforward. Licensed and insured contractors carry liability coverage that protects your property if something goes wrong during the job. Without insurance, homeowners can be held financially responsible for
accidents on their own property. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, which means:
- Property protection if damage occurs during work
- Worker protection if an injury happens on-site
- Accountability since licensed contractors are traceable and reviewable through the BBB and other directories
Unlicensed contractors may offer a lower price upfront, but the financial exposure shifts to the homeowner. We view licensing and insurance as a baseline requirement, not an upgrade.
Our quotes include surface preparation, corner bead installation, multiple coats of joint compound, sanding, and a final texture match. Budget contractors sometimes reduce these steps to speed up the job.
Here's what we consistently include:
Step Why It Matters
Wall/ceiling prep Prevents new cracks from forming
Multiple compound coats Creates a smooth, even surface
Texture matching Avoids visible patch lines
Clean-up and dust containment Protects your home during the job
Skipping any of these steps can leave visible seams or cause the repair to fail sooner. We build these steps into every quote so there are no gaps in the final result.
We provide a written estimate before work begins, based on an in-person
or photo-based assessment of the damage. That price holds unless we find hidden
issues once we open the wall.
Examples of factors that can change scope include:
- Water damage behind the drywall
- Mold growth
- Structural framing issues
If we find something unexpected, we stop and explain the issue before doing any additional work. We won't proceed with added costs without your approval first.
