Drywall Contractor in Oakville

Drywall for Plaster Homes, 1980s Ceilings and New Basements

Oakville drywall work splits by neighbourhood. In Old Oakville, Morrison and Bronte, century homes have lath and plaster, and the question is usually whether to repair the plaster, overlay it with drywall, or take a wall back to the studs. We advise room by room, because keeping original plaster in a front parlour and replacing it in a kitchen is often the right answer. In Glen Abbey, College Park and Falgarwood the common request is stipple ceiling removal followed by a smooth skim, and repairs to forty years of patched walls before repainting.

Basements are the biggest share of our Oakville drywall work, especially in Joshua Creek, Iroquois Ridge and River Oaks. Heavy Halton clay keeps foundation walls damp, so we check for moisture and insist on proper vapour control before boarding. Where the basement will become an additional residential unit, the fire-separation and ceiling-height rules that go through Town of Oakville Building Services decide the board type, layers and detailing, and we build to pass inspection the first time.

On the commercial side we frame and board partitions, bulkheads and demising walls for offices and retail units along Lakeshore Road, Kerr Street and Speers Road, often overnight or on weekends.
