Whether you need drywall hung in a new addition, a water-damaged ceiling repaired, or a hole patched and texture-matched in your living room, Garrett Construction handles every drywall project with precision. Our experienced drywall crews work fast without sacrificing the smooth, seamless finish you expect.
New Drywall Installation
Full drywall installation for new construction, additions, and remodels. Hanging, taping, mudding, and finishing to Level 4 or Level 5 standards. Basements, main floors, and entire home builds.
Drywall Repair & Patching
Seamless drywall patch repairs for holes, cracks, dents, and damaged sections. We feather and blend every patch so it disappears completely — no visible edges or color variation after painting.
Water Damage Drywall Repair
Remove and replace water-damaged, stained, or mold-compromised drywall. We address the moisture source first, then restore walls and ceilings to a clean, paint-ready finish using moisture-resistant drywall where appropriate.
Texture Matching
Orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, popcorn, and smooth finish texture matching. We replicate your existing texture so repaired areas are completely invisible — even in raking light.
Ceiling Drywall Installation & Repair
Sagging ceilings, popcorn removal, water stain repair, and full ceiling drywall replacement. We handle flat ceilings, vaulted ceilings, tray ceilings, and coffered ceiling drywall work.
Soundproof & Specialty Drywall
Soundproof drywall for home theaters, bedrooms, and shared walls. Moisture-resistant greenboard for bathrooms. Fire-rated Type X drywall for garages and utility rooms. The right product for every application.
Drywall Finish Levels — What You Need to Know
Not all drywall finishes are equal. The drywall industry uses a standard Level 0–5 finish scale. Choosing the right level for each space prevents costly repainting and touch-ups later. Garrett Construction finishes drywall to the correct level for every application.
Level 3 — Texture Ready
All joints taped, two coats of compound, no sanding marks. Used under heavy textures like skip trowel or knockdown where surface imperfections are hidden.
Level 4 — Paint Ready
Three coats, smooth finish, all tool marks sanded. The standard for most residential walls and ceilings receiving flat or eggshell paint. What most homeowners expect.
Level 5 — Premium Finish
A skim coat applied over the entire surface. Required for gloss or semi-gloss paint, critical lighting conditions, or anywhere shadows could reveal surface irregularities. The highest standard available.
Why Choose Garrett Construction for Drywall?
A great drywall job is invisible — no one notices it because there is nothing to notice. Smooth walls, clean corners, seamless patches. That is the standard we hold every project to, whether it is a single patch repair or a whole-home drywall installation.
Seamless Patches Every Time
Our patch repairs are genuinely invisible after painting. We feather compound far beyond the repair area and match existing texture precisely — no telltale ridges or edges.
Clean Jobsite Protection
Drywall dust gets everywhere. We use plastic sheeting, floor protection, and dust barriers to contain the mess — and clean up completely before we leave.
Fast Turnaround
Most patch repairs completed same day. Full room drywall installations typically finished in 2-4 days including tape, mud, and finish coats. We work efficiently without cutting corners on dry time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Drywall
How much does drywall installation cost in Minneapolis?
Drywall installation in the Twin Cities typically costs $1.50-$3.50 per square foot for hanging and finishing, depending on ceiling height, finish level, and accessibility. A single room runs $400-$1,200. Full basement drywall projects commonly range from $2,500-$7,000. Patch repairs start around $150-$400 for small holes. Contact us for a free on-site estimate.
How long does drywall repair take?
Small patch repairs (holes under 6 inches) are typically completed same day. Larger repairs requiring multiple coats of compound need 1-3 days for proper drying between coats. Full room or basement drywall installations take 3-6 days including hang, tape, three coats of mud, and final sanding.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes — texture matching is one of our specialties. We replicate orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, popcorn, and smooth finishes. We test the texture on a small area first to ensure a perfect match before completing the repair. In most cases the repair is completely undetectable after painting.
What type of drywall should I use in a bathroom or basement?
Standard drywall should never be used in wet or high-humidity areas. We use moisture-resistant greenboard or cement board in bathrooms, and paperless mold-resistant drywall in basements. These products resist mold growth and prevent deterioration in Minnesota's humid summers and damp basement environments.
Do you handle drywall after water damage or a plumbing leak?
Yes. Water-damaged drywall must be fully removed — you cannot simply dry it out and paint over it. We remove all affected drywall, treat any mold present, allow the framing to dry completely, and then install new moisture-resistant drywall with proper finishing. We coordinate with plumbers and insurance adjusters as needed.
