Comprehensive Drywall Services in Santa Monica, CA

We provide precise drywall work for homes in Santa Monica, focusing on correct installation, smooth finishes, and lasting results. Our team uses proven techniques and quality materials to ensure each project meets local building standards and fits the space’s design needs.

Residential Drywall Installation

We handle drywall installation for new builds, remodels, and room additions. Our process starts with accurate measurements and proper framing alignment to ensure panels fit tightly with minimal gaps.



We use drywall types suited to each room, such as moisture-resistant boards for bathrooms and sound-dampening panels for bedrooms or offices. This helps improve durability and comfort in the home.

Joints are taped and coated with multiple layers of joint compound. We sand between coats to achieve a smooth surface ready for paint or texture.

Custom Drywall Finishes

We offer a range of finishes to match different interior styles. These include smooth walls, knockdown texture, orange peel texture, and skip trowel. Each option is applied with specific tools and techniques to produce consistent results.



Smooth finishes require extra sanding and careful feathering of edges for a flawless paint base. Textured finishes help hide minor imperfections and can add depth to a room’s appearance.

We can match existing textures during repairs or create a new style for renovations. Our approach ensures the finish blends evenly across the surface, avoiding visible seams or uneven patterns.

We use clear communication and detailed scheduling so clients know what to expect at every stage. This helps us deliver consistent results for both small and large-scale commercial projects.

Drywall Repair and Restoration

We address damage that affects both the appearance and strength of drywall. Our work focuses on restoring surfaces so they are smooth, stable, and ready for painting or finishing.

Wall and Ceiling Damage Repair

We repair drywall damage caused by impacts, wear, or improper installation. This includes dents, scratches, sagging sections, and uneven seams.



Our process starts with a detailed inspection to find all problem areas. We remove damaged sections when needed and secure the surrounding material to prevent further issues.

We use precise cutting and fitting to ensure new drywall blends with the existing surface. After installation, we tape, mud, and sand the area until it is level and smooth.

We finish by priming the repaired surface so it is ready for painting. This approach helps maintain the structure’s integrity while restoring a clean, uniform look.

Water Damage Restoration

Water can weaken drywall, cause stains, and lead to mold growth if not addressed quickly. We identify the source of moisture before starting repairs to prevent repeat damage.



Our team removes all wet or soft drywall and checks framing for hidden moisture. We use drying equipment when necessary to protect the structure.

Once the area is dry, we install new drywall panels and finish them to match the surrounding walls or ceilings. We also use moisture-resistant materials in high-risk areas such as bathrooms or kitchens.

This process ensures the repaired section is both functional and resistant to future water exposure.

Crack and Hole Patching

Small cracks and holes can grow over time if left untreated. We repair these defects to restore both strength and appearance.



For hairline cracks, we apply joint compound and reinforcing tape to prevent them from reopening. For larger holes, we use patch panels or cut-and-replace methods for a secure fit.

We sand and smooth the patched areas to match the surrounding texture. Our goal is to make the repair blend seamlessly, so it is not visible after painting.

By addressing cracks and holes early, we help extend the life of the drywall and reduce the need for larger repairs later.

Drywall Finishing and Texturing

We provide precise surface preparation to ensure walls are ready for paint or wallpaper. Our work includes both smooth and textured finishes, using methods that match the style and function of the space.

Smooth Wall Finishes

We create smooth wall finishes by carefully applying multiple coats of joint compound and sanding between each layer. This process removes seams, screw marks, and surface imperfections.



For residential interiors, a smooth finish offers a clean, modern appearance. It works well in living rooms, offices, and other areas where a flat, uniform surface is preferred.

We use fine-grit sanding tools to achieve a consistent surface. Proper lighting during the finishing process helps us spot and correct even minor flaws before painting.

Textured Wall Applications

We apply textured finishes to add depth and visual interest. Popular options include knockdown, orange peel, and skip trowel textures. Each style creates a distinct look and can help hide minor surface irregularities.



Textured walls work well in hallways, ceilings, or feature walls. They can also help reduce the appearance of wear in high-traffic areas.

We control texture patterns by adjusting the type of compound, application tools, and drying times. This ensures a consistent appearance throughout the space.

Level 5 Finishing

A Level 5 finish is the highest standard for drywall surfaces. We apply a thin skim coat over the entire wall after standard taping and sanding. This creates a perfectly even surface with no visible joints or texture.



This finish is recommended for areas with critical lighting, such as spaces with large windows or strong overhead lights. It prevents shadows from highlighting imperfections.

We use specialized trowels and spray equipment to apply the skim coat evenly. Once dry, we sand and inspect the wall to ensure it meets the strict requirements of Level 5 quality.

Acoustic and Soundproof Drywall Solutions

We provide drywall systems that reduce noise transfer between rooms and improve sound quality within a space. Our work focuses on precise installation methods and materials that meet the needs of both residential and commercial environments.

Sound Dampening Installations

We use specialized drywall boards with higher density to block airborne sound. These boards work well in bedrooms, offices, media rooms, and shared walls in multi-unit buildings.



Our team installs these boards with staggered stud framing or resilient channels to reduce vibration transfer. This method helps limit both voices and low-frequency sounds from traveling through walls and ceilings.

We also apply acoustic sealants around edges, outlets, and joints to close small gaps where sound can leak. Proper sealing is essential for consistent performance across the entire surface.

For projects with strict noise control requirements, we can layer multiple drywall sheets with damping compounds between them. This creates a mass–damping–mass barrier that absorbs more sound energy without adding excessive wall thickness.

Acoustic Panel Integration

In spaces where sound quality matters, we integrate acoustic panels directly into the drywall system. These panels absorb echo and reduce sound reflections, making speech and music clearer.



We often recommend this approach for conference rooms, classrooms, studios, and home theaters. The panels can be covered with fabric or other finishes to match the room’s design.

Our installation process ensures panels sit flush with the surrounding drywall for a seamless look. We position them based on room layout, speaker placement, and primary sound sources to achieve balanced acoustic performance.

We can also combine panel integration with sound dampening drywall for spaces that need both noise isolation and better internal sound clarity. This layered approach addresses both sound control and sound quality in one solution.

Fire-Resistant and Moisture-Resistant Drywall

We install materials designed to meet specific safety and durability needs. Our focus is on drywall options that help slow fire spread and protect against water damage in areas prone to moisture.

Fire-Rated Drywall Installation

We use fire-rated drywall that contains non-combustible materials, such as fiberglass, within the core. This design helps slow the spread of flames and smoke during a fire.

Fire-rated drywall is often required by building codes in shared walls, garages, and utility rooms. We follow local regulations to ensure each installation meets safety standards.



We offer Type X and Type C drywall options:

Our team measures and cuts each sheet for a precise fit. We also seal joints and edges to maintain the fire rating.

Moisture Barrier Solutions

We install moisture-resistant drywall, sometimes called green board or cement board, in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas. These boards have a treated core and water-repellent surface to reduce the risk of mold and mildew.

Moisture-resistant drywall is not waterproof, so we pair it with proper ventilation and, when needed, a vapor barrier. This combination helps protect the structure from long-term damage.

We recommend:

• Green board for low-moisture areas like half baths
• Cement board for high-moisture areas such as showers and tub surrounds

Our installation process includes sealing cut edges and using mold-resistant joint compound for added protection. This ensures the walls stay strong and last longer in damp environments.

Our Service Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step approach to ensure each drywall project meets the required standards. From the first conversation to the final clean-up, we focus on accurate planning, skilled workmanship, and a clean finish.

Initial Consultation

We start by discussing your needs in detail. This includes the size of the project, the type of space, and any specific requirements for materials or finishes.



During this stage, we may visit the site to take measurements and inspect existing walls or framing. This helps us identify potential challenges, such as uneven surfaces or moisture issues.

We provide a clear outline of what the work will involve, along with an estimated timeline and cost. This ensures you have accurate information before moving forward.

Project Planning and Design

Once we understand your needs, we create a detailed plan. This includes selecting the right drywall type, such as standard, moisture-resistant, or fire-rated panels, depending on the space.



We also plan for joint finishing, texture application, and paint preparation. If the project involves repairs, we match the existing finish as closely as possible.

Our scheduling process minimizes disruption. We coordinate with other trades if needed, ensuring each step happens in the correct order for efficiency and quality.

Installation and Clean-Up

We install drywall using precise measurements and secure fastening methods. This includes hanging panels, taping seams, applying joint compound, and sanding for a smooth surface.

If texture is required, we apply it evenly and allow proper drying time before painting or sealing. We check all surfaces for consistency before considering the work complete.

After installation, we remove all debris, dust, and leftover materials. We leave the work area clean so you can move forward with painting or furnishing without extra preparation.
