Drywall Installation and Finishing
At Refined ADU Builder & Garage Conversions, we put up and finish garage drywall that makes your space clean and useful. Our work turns rough garages into rooms you'll be proud to show friends and family. We've helped hundreds of homeowners just like you transform their dusty, unfinished garages into bright, welcoming spaces.
Our team makes sure your drywall installation and finishing are smooth and done right, ready for paint or any other touches you want to add. We take extra time on the seams and corners that other companies rush through, giving you walls that look truly flat and perfect. Every screw is set just right, and every joint is taped with care.
We know garages need special treatment because of car fumes, outdoor weather, and tools banging against walls. That's why we use tougher drywall that stands up to bumps and doesn't get damaged by damp air. Our work makes your garage look great while staying strong for years to come. Unlike bedroom or kitchen drywall, garage walls face unique challenges, and we plan for all of them.
When you pick us, you get workers who have done this many times before and notice all the little things that matter. We show up when promised, finish when we say we will, and leave your place clean. No more waiting around for workers who don't show or dealing with mess that takes days to clean up. We help you get a great-looking garage without the stress and problems that often come with home projects. Many customers tell us our drywall work was the easiest home improvement they've ever done.
Garage Drywall Installation Services
We focus on detailed preparation, careful material choice, and precise installation to ensure your garage drywall meets your needs. Every step is planned and executed to provide durability and a clean finish.
Assessment and Planning
We start by examining your garage's size, shape, and any existing structures that might affect drywall installation. This includes checking for moisture, insulation, and electrical outlets that need to be accounted for.
Our team measures all wall and ceiling surfaces to create a clear plan for drywall placement. We also identify any framing repairs or adjustments needed before installation begins.
This careful assessment helps avoid problems during installation and ensures the final result fits your garage perfectly.
Material Selection
We choose drywall types based on your garage’s conditions. For garages that need extra moisture resistance, we use green board or mold-resistant drywall.
We also select drywall thickness according to local building codes and your desired wall strength. Typically, we use 1/2-inch drywall for most garage walls.
Using the right fasteners and joint compounds is essential. We match these materials to support durability and prepare the surface for finishing.
Professional Installation
Our installers hang drywall sheets with precision to minimize gaps and ensure straight lines. We use proper fastening techniques to secure sheets firmly to the framing.
Once installed, we tape and mud the seams carefully. We apply multiple thin coats of joint compound, sanding between layers for a smooth surface.
We make sure corners and edges are tight and clean, preparing the garage walls for painting or other finishes without extra work.
Garage Drywall Finishing Services
Our drywall finishing process focuses on creating smooth, even surfaces that are ready for paint or texture. We pay close attention to every corner, seam, and screw where imperfections often appear.
Taping and Mudding
We start by applying drywall tape correctly across all joints. This step reinforces the seams and prevents cracks over time. After taping, we spread a thin layer of joint compound, called mud, over the tape.
Applying mud takes skill to avoid lumps and gaps. We use multiple coats, letting each dry before adding the next. This builds a strong, flat surface. We also cover screw holes and any dents with the same care.
Sanding Techniques
Once the mud is dry, we sand the area to smooth it out. We use fine-grit sanding tools to avoid damaging the drywall paper. Our goal is a seamless finish that blends well with the rest of the wall.
We always clean dust after sanding to ensure the next step—painting or texturing—adheres properly. Sanding is crucial because rough spots or bumps will show once painting is done.
Texturing and Painting
After sanding, we add texture to fit the style of your garage if you want. We offer different texture options like knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes. Texture helps hide minor flaws and gives the garage a finished look.
When painting, we use high-quality paints that resist moisture and wear. Garages often face humidity and stains. Proper paint helps protect the drywall and keeps your space looking fresh longer.
