A couple in Bellaire called D&I Painting Services after buying their first home. They wanted to remodel the garage into a guest suite. The walls had insulation but no drywall. After we finished the job, they told us it was the first time it felt like a real room. That’s what drywall installation does. It turns bare studs into smooth walls that make a home feel complete.
What Is Drywall Installation?
Drywall installation is the process of putting up drywall sheets over framing. These sheets create walls and ceilings inside a home. Once installed, the surface is ready for taping, finishing, and painting. Drywall is used in every room—from bedrooms to basements.
Why Drywall Matters in Houston
Houston homes go through high heat, storms, and shifting soil. Quality drywall installation gives strength to the inside of your house. It helps control noise and adds fire resistance. When it’s installed right, your home stays quiet, cool, and safe.
Types of Drywall We Install
Different rooms need different types of drywall. Here’s what we install at D&I Painting Services:
- Standard Drywall: For most living areas
- Moisture-Resistant (Green Board): For bathrooms and kitchens
- Fire-Resistant (Type X): For garages and shared walls
- Mold-Resistant: For basements and humid areas
- Soundproof Drywall: For home theaters or noisy rooms
Our Drywall Installation Process
At D&I Painting Services, we follow a step-by-step process that keeps things clean and fast:
- Measure and mark the framing
- Cut drywall sheets to fit
- Screw the drywall to the studs
- Trim around outlets, windows, and doors
- Inspect for gaps and tight seams
We always leave the job site clean. You won’t find scraps, screws, or dust when we’re done.
Why Hire a Professional Drywall Contractor
Some homeowners try drywall themselves. But bad cuts, sagging panels, or loose seams cost more to fix later. A local Drywall Contractor like D&I Painting Services installs it right the first time. We bring the right tools, the right materials, and real experience from hundreds of jobs across Houston.
Serving All of Houston and Nearby Cities
We install drywall in homes and offices across Houston, TX and surrounding areas like Galena Park, Humble, Spring, Mission Bend, South Houston, Stafford, and more. We know the local codes and use materials that hold up in our climate.
When Should You Install New Drywall?
You might need drywall installation if:
- You’re remodeling a kitchen or bathroom
- You have damaged or moldy drywall
- You’re finishing a basement or garage
- Your old paneling or plaster is falling apart
We can handle full installs or patchwork as part of a larger remodel.
Framing and Insulation Come First
Before we install drywall, we check that framing is solid. If the studs are uneven or damaged, we fix them. We also make sure insulation is installed correctly. This step is key for keeping your space energy efficient and quiet.
Drywall Sizes and Thickness
We install standard 4×8 sheets, and larger panels for fewer seams. Thickness matters:
- 1/4 inch: Good for curved walls
- 3/8 inch: For patching older homes
- 1/2 inch: Standard for walls and ceilings
- 5/8 inch: Stronger, more fire-resistant
How Much Does Drywall Installation Cost?
Most Houston homeowners pay between $1.20 and $2.50 per square foot. Bigger jobs or tall ceilings may cost more. D&I Painting Services gives clear estimates based on square footage, number of rooms, and drywall type.
How Long Does It Take to Install Drywall?
A small bedroom can take one day. A whole home might take a week. We move quickly but safely. We always double-check for strong holds and clean lines.
Commercial Drywall Installation
We also install drywall in offices, restaurants, and shops. In busy places like Jacinto City and Missouri City, business owners trust D&I Painting Services for fast, solid drywall that keeps projects moving forward. We follow all commercial codes and schedules.
Drywall Installation Tips from the Field
One of our customers in Atascocita had tight corners and sloped ceilings. We used smaller sheets and special lifts to get clean installs without damaging trim. Every job teaches us something, and we bring that skill to each new home.
