Our Drywall & Framing Services

Custom Wood & Metal Stud Framing

We provide precision framing for new walls, room additions, basement finishing, and structural modifications. Our framing contractors in Ontario use laser levels and high-quality lumber or metal studs to ensure perfectly straight, plumb, and square walls. Metal stud framing is ideal for basement applications, commercial projects, and fire-rated assemblies where steel's non-combustible properties are required by code.

Drywall Installation & Finishing

Professional drywall installation is the canvas for your renovation. We install standard drywall, moisture-resistant drywall (green board) for bathrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated Type X drywall where code requires it. Our finishing process includes taping, mudding, sanding, and skim coating to your desired level — from utility-grade Level 3 for basements and garages to premium Level 4 and Level 5 finishes for living areas and high-end homes.

Acoustic Ceiling Installation

Need a drop ceiling for your basement or commercial space? We install T-bar suspended ceiling systems, acoustic tiles, and recessed lighting grids. For residential applications, we also offer drywall ceiling installation with smooth or textured finishes, pot light cutouts, and decorative ceiling treatments.

Soundproofing & Insulation

Proper soundproofing is essential for basements, home theatres, home offices, and shared walls. We install Safe'n'Sound acoustic insulation, resilient channel systems, and double-layer drywall assemblies to achieve superior sound isolation. Our R-20 thermal insulation installations meet and exceed Ontario Building Code requirements for energy efficiency and comfort.

Drywall Repair & Patching

Whether it is water damage, holes, cracks, or post-renovation patching, our drywall repair services restore your walls and ceilings to like-new condition. We match existing textures and finishes for a seamless result.

Frequently Asked Questions — Drywall & Framing

What is the difference between Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 drywall finishes?

Level 3 is suitable for areas that will receive heavy texture or are in low-visibility locations like garages. Level 4 is the standard for most residential applications — all joints and fasteners are taped, mudded, and sanded smooth. Level 5 is a premium finish that includes a skim coat over the entire surface, providing a perfectly smooth canvas ideal for high-gloss paints, smooth finishes, and areas with critical lighting. Our team recommends the appropriate finish level for each area of your project.

Why should I choose metal stud framing over wood?

Metal stud framing offers several advantages over wood in certain applications. Steel studs are non-combustible (required for fire-rated assemblies), resistant to moisture and mould, dimensionally stable (they do not warp, twist, or shrink), and pest-resistant. Metal studs are commonly used in basement finishing, commercial projects, and anywhere fire-rated construction is required by the Ontario Building Code.

How much does drywall installation cost in the GTA?

Drywall installation costs in the Greater Toronto Area typically range from $3 to $6 per square foot for standard installations, including taping and finishing. Costs vary based on the finish level, ceiling height, complexity of the layout, and whether moisture-resistant or fire-rated drywall is required. We provide detailed, itemized quotes during your free consultation.

Do I need fire-rated drywall for my renovation?

Fire-rated drywall (Type X) is required in specific locations by the Ontario Building Code, including between a garage and living space, between separate dwelling units (such as a legal basement apartment), and in furnace and utility rooms. Our team assesses your project requirements and ensures all fire-rated assemblies meet code.
