Drywall Techs & General Contracting is a locally owned painting contractor serving every neighborhood in SLC — from century-old craftsman homes in The Avenues and Capitol Hill to modern condos in Sugar House, 9th & 9th, and Downtown. We handle interior repaints, full exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, commercial painting, and color consultation, all with premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paint and a written warranty. Most interior repaints in Salt Lake City run $2.75–$5.50 per square foot of floor area, full home exteriors run $4,000–$11,000 depending on size and prep, and cabinet refinishing typically lands between $2,500 and $6,500 for a standard kitchen.

Drywall Techs is family-owned and now in its second generation, with more than 70 years of combined painting experience behind every crew we send out. We're based just north in Layton and serve homeowners across Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Summit counties, and our reputation shows in a 4.9-star average across 78 Google reviews. From brick bungalows in Liberty Wells to stately Yalecrest two-stories and lofts near Marmalade or Rose Park, we match the scope, sheen, and color plan to your home's era and how you actually live in it. Every crew is fully licensed and insured, and we begin each project with a detailed walkthrough so nothing about the estimate is a surprise. Call (801) 791-9053 to get on the schedule. Beyond a fresh coat, we help SLC homeowners plan a whole-home color story that ties trim, doors, and accent walls together, and our color consultation service includes physical draw-downs so you can see shades in your own natural light. For rental and investment properties around the university and Downtown, we offer fast, durable turnovers, and for historic exteriors we match approved palettes carefully.
Why Salt Lake City Homeowners Choose Drywall Techs
Salt Lake City homes face unique conditions — intense high-altitude UV that fades exterior paint years faster than at sea level, a dry climate that affects how paint cures, and a freeze-thaw cycle that punishes south- and west-facing exteriors. Our painters use premium UV-resistant exterior paint, properly back-prime trim and fascia, and time exterior projects between mid-spring and early fall for the best cure. On interiors, we cover floors and furniture, mask trim, repair drywall imperfections before painting, and clean up the same day. Most SLC interior repaints take 3–7 days; full home exteriors run 5–10 days. Just as important as the paint is how we treat your home and your time. In historic pockets like The Avenues and Capitol Hill we work respectfully around original woodwork, plaster, and tight lot lines, and downtown we plan for narrow driveways and street parking so the job stays smooth. We stage rooms so you can keep living in the house while we paint, review a final punch list with you before we call a project done, and stand behind the finish with a written warranty. When you call (801) 791-9053 you reach our local team directly — not a national call center — and you'll get straight answers about color, sheen, prep, and scheduling from people who paint in your neighborhood every week. We also sweat the small stuff that makes a repaint feel effortless: re-caulking gaps, addressing the hairline drywall cracks common in settling century-old homes, and protecting mature landscaping and porches during exterior work. From your first estimate through the final coat, you get one point of contact, a clear daily plan, and a crew that leaves your home cleaner than we found it.
Interior Painting for SLC's Historic and Modern Homes
Salt Lake City has one of the most varied housing stocks in Utah, and each style asks for a different interior approach. The plaster walls and detailed trim of century-old craftsman homes in The Avenues, Capitol Hill, and Yalecrest need patient prep, crack repair, and careful cut-in around original woodwork, while the newer condos and townhomes in Sugar House, 9th & 9th, and Downtown are usually about clean color changes and durable, scrubbable finishes. We start every SLC interior by covering floors and furniture, masking trim, and repairing drywall or plaster imperfections before a brush ever touches the wall. Most interior repaints in Salt Lake City run $2.75–$5.50 per square foot of floor area and wrap in 3–7 days depending on how many rooms and how much prep is involved.
Exterior Painting Built for High-Altitude UV
At over 4,200 feet, Salt Lake City exteriors take far more ultraviolet punishment than homes at sea level, and that intense sun fades color and breaks down cheap paint years faster. On the south- and west-facing walls of homes in Rose Park, Liberty Wells, and the Marmalade District, we use premium UV-resistant exterior coatings, back-prime trim and fascia so it resists moisture from behind, and schedule the work between mid-spring and early fall so the paint cures properly before the first hard freeze. A full home exterior in SLC generally runs $4,000–$11,000 depending on size and prep and takes 5–10 days from wash to final coat.
Cabinet Refinishing and Color Consultation
Refinishing kitchen cabinets is one of the highest-impact projects in an older Salt Lake City home, and it costs a fraction of a full replacement. We clean, sand, prime, and spray your existing cabinet boxes and doors for a factory-smooth finish, with refinishing for a standard kitchen typically landing between $2,500 and $6,500. If you're not sure where to start on color, our consultation walks you through how SLC's bright, dry light will read your paint choices on north- versus south-facing rooms so the final result matches what you pictured instead of surprising you after the first coat.
HOA Color Matching and Combined Repairs
Many Salt Lake City neighborhoods and historic districts have color guidelines, and we handle HOA-compliant exterior color matching so your repaint clears review the first time. For homeowners who also need wall repairs before paint, we can patch and texture as part of the same project — see our drywall repair services — and for whole-home color updates you can start with our interior and exterior painting services. Because we self-perform both drywall and paint, there's no waiting on a second crew or finger-pointing over who owns the finish. Every Salt Lake City job includes a free, written, line-item estimate within 24 hours of the walk-through so you know exactly what you're paying for.
