Boarding and Finishing

Professional Drywall Boarding & Finishing

Great drywall isn't something you're supposed to notice.

When the job is done properly, you shouldn't be staring at drywall joints, visible seams, rough corners, screw marks or waves in the walls. You should simply walk into the finished room and see clean, smooth walls and ceilings that look like they belong there.

That's what we're working toward on every project.

At Devlin Drywall, we provide professional drywall boarding and finishing for renovations, additions, basement developments, custom homes, and small repairs.

Whether we're boarding one room or working on an entire home, our goal is the same:

Do the job properly, communicate clearly, keep the project organized, and leave you with a finished product we're proud to put our name behind.

It Starts With Proper Boarding

A beautiful drywall finish starts long before the first coat of mud goes on the wall.

Proper drywall installation creates the foundation for everything that follows.

Our team carefully measures, cuts and installs drywall to create clean walls and ceilings while paying attention to sheet layout, joints, corners, openings and transitions.

These details matter.

Poor boarding can make the finishing process considerably more difficult and, in some cases, imperfections can remain noticeable even after the walls have been painted.

That's one of the advantages of having one experienced drywall company handle both the boarding and finishing.

We're not simply hanging the drywall and leaving the next person to deal with it. We're looking ahead to the finished product from the beginning.

The Difference Is in the Finishing

Once the drywall has been installed, the finishing process begins.

This is where experience really shows.

Drywall joints are taped, fasteners are covered, corners are finished, and multiple coats of joint compound are carefully applied and feathered into the surrounding drywall.

Each stage builds on the one before it.

The goal is to gradually make the joints, screws and transitions disappear so that once everything is sanded, primed and painted, you're looking at the room, not the drywall underneath it.

And while drywall finishing can look simple when you watch an experienced tradesman doing it, achieving a consistently smooth finish takes years of experience.

Lighting can also be unforgiving. Large windows, pot lights and natural light travelling across a wall or ceiling can expose waves and imperfections that aren't obvious during construction.

That's why we take the finishing stage seriously.

Renovations Can Be Especially Challenging

New construction gives us a relatively clean starting point.

Renovations are different.

We may be joining new drywall into walls that have been there for decades. Framing isn't always perfectly straight. Previous repairs may have been done poorly. There can be old textures, damaged corners, uneven surfaces and unexpected conditions hiding behind existing walls.

This is where having an experienced drywall contractor can make a significant difference.

Instead of simply covering the problem and moving on, we'll assess what we're working with and recommend a practical solution.

Sometimes that means additional preparation. Sometimes an existing area should be skimmed or repaired. And sometimes there are multiple ways of approaching the same problem depending on your expectations and budget.

We'll explain those options so you can make an informed decision.

We're not interested in selling you work you don't need. We're interested in helping you get the result you're looking for.

Your Home Is Still Your Home

Drywall work can be dusty and disruptive, especially during renovations.

We understand that.

For us, professionalism isn't limited to how smooth we can make a wall.

It's also how we treat your home, how we communicate with you and how the overall experience feels from the initial quote through completion.

We take care to protect the surrounding areas, keep the project organized and minimize the impact of our work wherever reasonably possible.

You should know who's coming to your home, what we're doing, and what to expect next.

And if you have questions along the way, ask us.

We'd much rather take a few minutes to explain something than have you wondering what's happening inside your own home.

One Team From Drywall to Paint

One of the biggest advantages we can offer is continuity.

In addition to boarding and finishing, Devlin Drywall also provides texture work and interior painting.

That means your project doesn't necessarily have to be passed from the boarder, to the finisher, to another company for texture, and then to another contractor for painting.

When we're responsible for multiple stages of the project, we can look at the finished result as a whole.

Our finishers know what the painters need.

Our painters know what properly prepared drywall should look like.

And if something needs a little extra attention before paint goes on, we can address it instead of simply painting over it.

One team. One standard. One company responsible for the finished result.

Experience You Can Feel Comfortable With

Inviting a contractor into your home requires trust.

We don't take that lightly.

Devlin Drywall has been serving customers since 2006, and over the years we've built our reputation one project and one customer at a time.

Today, we're proud to have earned over 270 five-star reviews and growing from customers who have trusted us with their homes.

But regardless of whether we're boarding an entire custom home or finishing a small renovation, our approach doesn't change.

We want to do quality work.

We want to communicate with you.

We want to keep your project moving.

And most importantly, we want you to be happy you chose us.

Planning a Drywall Project?

If you're renovating your home, finishing a basement, building an addition, starting new construction or simply have an area that needs professional boarding and finishing, we'd be happy to take a look.

You don't need to know exactly what type of drywall you need or what level of finish your project requires.

That's our job.

Tell us what you're working on, what you'd like the finished space to look like, and we'll help you determine the best way to get there.
