Our comprehensive drywall services cover every aspect of your project from start to finish. We begin with professional installation using high-quality gypsum boards and precision hanging techniques to ensure a solid, level surface. Our skilled finishers then apply tape and multiple layers of joint compound, sanding between coats to achieve seamless joints. We specialize in drywall smooth Level 4 finishes and apply your choice of texture—from smooth Level 5 finishes to Santa Fe, knockdown, or custom patterns—creating the perfect canvas for your space. Whether it's a single room or complete new construction, we deliver flawless results every time.
Every drywall project follows the same disciplined process that keeps walls flat and joints invisible. We start by measuring the space and ordering the right sheet thickness — 1/2-inch for most walls, 5/8-inch Type X where fire rating or sag resistance matters, and moisture-resistant board for bathrooms and basements. Sheets are hung tight to the framing with screws set just below the paper without breaking it, staggering seams to avoid long continuous joints. From there we tape every seam, embed corner bead, and apply three coats of joint compound, sanding between coats. The result is a dead-flat surface that takes primer and paint evenly, with no telegraphing screws or ridged seams.
Most Salt Lake City homes are finished to a Level 4 standard — taped joints, three coats of mud over seams and fasteners, and a coat of texture that hides minor imperfections. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat of compound across the entire surface, creating a glass-smooth wall that is ideal for gloss paint, raking light from large windows, and modern flat-painted designs. We help you choose the right level for each room: Level 4 for textured walls and ceilings, Level 5 for smooth feature walls, entryways, and anywhere harsh side light would reveal flaws. Choosing the correct finish up front protects your paint budget and the final look.
In the Salt Lake City and Northern Utah market, professional drywall installation typically runs $1.75 to $3.00 per square foot of board installed, including hanging, taping, and a standard Level 4 texture. A single room of new drywall usually lands between $1,200 and $2,500 depending on ceiling height and texture choice, while whole-basement or new-construction projects are priced per square foot. Level 5 smooth finishes, vaulted ceilings, and custom textures add to the price because of the extra labor and material. We provide free, written, line-item estimates so you can see exactly what drives the cost before any work begins.

A Level 4 finish includes taped joints, three coats of compound over seams and screws, and texture — the standard for most homes. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat across the whole surface for a glass-smooth wall, ideal for gloss paint, smooth modern designs, and walls hit by raking light.
A typical single room takes about 3–5 days from hanging to a paint-ready finish. Hanging is usually one day, then each of the three compound coats needs time to dry before sanding, followed by texture. Drying time depends on Utah's humidity and the season.
