Residential Drywall Installation
We install drywall for new construction homes, repairs in your existing home, and for home additions and renovations. Our team hangs each sheet with attention to seam placement, minimizing the number of joints and overall waste. This saves time and material for us, and money for you.
Drywall Finishing & Texture Matching
Proper drywall finishing is where the real difference is made. Our services include taping, mudding, skim coating, and up to Level 5 drywall finishing for the best aesthetic possible. We may also be able to match more unique textures, like orange peel or knockdown.
Residential Drywall Repair & Patching
Holes, dents, and cracks in drywall can happen for an number of reasons. Whether from age, water damage, or some other accident, we provide reliable patching and repair services to restore damaged drywall to its former glory.
Ceiling Drywall Installation & Repair
Water stains, sagging sections, and popped seams are common in older Canton homes. We use proper fastening patterns and additional support when needed to keep ceiling panels secure.
Water & Mold Damaged Drywall Replacement
Drywall exposed to water loses its structural integrity and can develop mold within 48 hours. We can handle many jobs by replacing the affected material to make it look brand new. Major moisture issues may require more specialized restoration services. Should that become necessary, we will always be upfront with you.
Drywall Remodeling & Renovations
New drywall does wonders for refreshing a space, especially in older Canton homes. Whether you’re remodeling your home, or you’re an investor fixing up a property for resale, Canton Premier Drywall is ready to take on the heavy lifting when it comes to drywall.
Drywall Service Planning & Timeline
Every drywall project we take on follows a structured process, from the first walkthrough to the final finish coat.
We begin with an on-site visit to evaluate the scope of your project. We take the time to understand your needs, as well as budget and timeline expectations. We can often provide preliminary estimates at this consultation. Quotes are always in writing.
Next, we create a detailed project plan, including drywall type, size, and other material selections. We establish a timeframe with a projected start date and estimated number of work days. This planning can take a few days, depending on project complexity.
After you approve the final plan, the framing and structural preparation begin. We check stud spacing, address any damaged or rotted framing, install any necessary blocking for fixtures or cabinets, and make sure the overall structure is square and level.
After prep, we begin hanging and securing drywall sheets, following proper building code as we go. We cut precise openings for outlets, switches, and vents to avoid gaps or more work later. This typically takes one to two days. Larger jobs will of course take longer.
After installation, we tape the seams using paper or mesh tape, then apply multiple layers of joint compound (“mudding”). This takes time, as the compound must fully dry and get sanded between each coat to ensure the smoothest finish possible.
Once the walls are sanded smooth, we apply the finish coat or texture chosen during the planning phase. After an additional day or two to fully dry, our work is complete! The walls are left ready for primer and paint.
Drywall Cost Guide in Canton
The national average to hang and finish standard drywall is $2.50 - $3.50 per square foot.
So to hang the walls and ceiling in a 12x12ft bedroom with a paint-ready Level 4 finish, a good ballpark for budget planning is around $2,500.
Naturally, more complex materials (like waterproof or fireproof) and more complex spaces will increase the price.
What's the cost for drywall installation in Canton?
Drywall installation refers to hanging and securing the drywall sheets. In Canton, drywall installation typically runs between $1.50 and $2.50 per square foot, which includes both labor and standard 1/2-inch drywall material. Room size, ceiling height, and drywall thickness help determine the cost. If there is significant removal of old material, that may increase the cost as well.
How much does drywall finishing cost?
Drywall finishing includes taping, mudding, and sanding to prepare the walls for paint or texture and typically adds $1-2 per square foot, bringing straightforward jobs to $2.50 - $3.50 per square foot. Texture matching or other more complex finishes may increase the cost.
What’s the cost to remove drywall?
We typically include basic removal and clean up in our installation quotes. However, if you simply need drywall removed, we handle these quotes on a case by case basis. It will generally cost less per square foot than installation, but we must still consider labor and clean up costs, disposal options, and if any hazardous materials need special handling.
How much does it cost to repair drywall in Canton?
Repairs can vary greatly based on their size and complexity, so it can be difficult to assign standard values. As general guidelines:
- Small holes / dents are naturally much lower relative costs.
- Cracked seams can be of more moderate cost, as cracks can run a foot or the entire length of the wall.
- Water damaged sections and larger holes will of course be of higher relative cost.

What are some additional or hidden costs involved with drywall service?
We aim for maximum transparency. Other factors that may affect the cost of your project:
- Texture matching - requires additional time and skill than a straight smooth finish.
- Insulation upgrades - adding insulation behind drywall increases material and labor costs.
- Furniture moving - clearing a room before work may increase labor.
- Painting - most drywall quotes do not include paint or primer unless specifically requested.
- Old material disposal - removing and hauling away old drywall, especially if it contains asbestos, can add to the total.
Every project is unique, so please treat these resources as guidelines. And remember, we always provide a no-obligation quote so there are no surprises!

Commercial Drywall Services in Canton
Commercial Drywall Installation
Canton Premier Drywall installs drywall in commercial buildings, from small retail units to multi-floor office complexes. Our crews work with standard gypsum board, as well as moisture-resistant and abuse-resistant panels, depending on the space and its intended use.
Commercial Drywall Finishing & Taping
Commercial spaces often require a higher finish level than residential rooms, especially in lobbies, conference rooms, and other customer-facing areas. We follow the Gypsum Association’s finish level standards, from Level 1 for hidden areas like utility rooms to Level 5 for surfaces under bright lighting or gloss paint.
Commercial Drywall Repair & Renovation
Commercial spaces sustain wear and tear from daily foot traffic, equipment movement, and building settling. Our drywall contractors repair holes, cracks, and water damage in walls and ceilings without disrupting business operations more than necessary.
Specialty Drywall Services in Canton
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation
We use Type X and Type C fire-rated drywall for walls and ceilings that require added protection, including garages, shared walls, and mechanical rooms.
Bathroom & Moisture-Resistant Drywall Solutions
We install green board (moisture-resistant) drywall in areas away from direct water contact, such as walls near sinks or toilets. For tub and shower surrounds, we use cement board or fiber-cement backer board, which holder up better under direct wetting.
Specialty Drywall Materials
In addition to fire and moisture resistance, we also work with:
- Soundproof drywall - reduces noise transfer between rooms.
- Abuse-resistant drywall - reinforced core for high-traffic areas.
- Paperless drywall - fiberglass facing instead of paper, reducing mold risk in enclosed spaces.
Drywall Materials & Finishes
Different Kinds of Drywall
We select 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch drywall based on the room’s function, moisture exposure, and fire code requirements. Common options include:
- Regular drywall (also called whiteboard, gypsum board, or plasterboard) - used in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways.
- Moisture-resistant drywall (greenboard) - installed in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.
- Fire-rated Drywall (Type X) - required in garages, shared walls, and utility rooms per building code.
Different Drywall Finishes
Different drywall finish levels exist for different purposes. Level 0 is the most basic, where drywall is installed but has no joint treatment, while Level 5 includes a skim coat covering the entire surface for the smoothest, most uniform appearance. Canton Premier Drywall can provide whatever finish your space requires.
Drywall Texture Matching
Some older Canton homes have textures that aren’t regularly produced anymore, including hand-troweled finishes and heavier orange peel patterns. We study the existing texture to identify the tools and technique needed to reproduce it. We test our texture match on a sample board or inconspicuous area first. Common textures we replicate include:
- Orange Peel • Smooth / Flat
- Knockdown • Skip Trowel

We give a project timeline as part of our initial estimate so you know what to expect.
Can you match existing wall textures and finishes after a repair?
We match common textures, including orange peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes, so repaired areas blend in with the surrounding wall or ceiling. Our team examines the existing texture pattern before starting work to determine the right technique and tools.
In most cases, repaired sections are not noticeable once painted.
