Drywall, Paint and Finish Carpentry
Hang, tape, texture and paint, plus the trim and doors that make a room look finished rather than nearly finished. A lot of what we do is in older houses: wallpaper stripped, walls skimmed and retextured, and plaster repaired instead of ripped out. Repairs and patching we do ourselves. On a full hang-and-finish we bring in a finisher we have worked with, and run the job start to finish.

Common questions
Ask us anything else
Do you paint as well as hang and tape?
Yes. Hang, tape, mud, texture and paint, plus the trim and doors. You are not hiring two trades.
Can you match the texture we already have?
Close, yes. On a large area we run a drywall hopper so the pattern matches what is already on the wall, and on a small patch we use a spray can. The honest answer is that a repair rarely matches something sprayed years ago perfectly, but it gets close enough that you would have to be looking for it.
How long after taping before it can be painted?
We like to give it 24 to 48 hours to be certain it is dry all the way through. Then we sand the high spots, fill any cat faces, get every bit of dust off, and put a PVA primer down, which is what gives paint something to hold on to over new mud. The primer wants about 24 hours of its own before the topcoat goes on.
Our walls are old plaster, not drywall. Can you work with that?
Yes, and a lot of what we do around here is exactly that. Cracked plaster that has come away from the lath can often be reattached and hot mudded rather than torn out. Where it is too far gone the ceiling or wall comes down and new board goes up in its place.
