How long does it take to do a drywall job?

That depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Usually for a basic drywall job such as a kitchen or bathroom remodel it can take about 7 business days. For a remodel to a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house, it could take up to 3 weeks, depending on the difficulty of the job. During that process, there may be times when our crew will not be on site due to the time the compound needs to dry.

What size jobs do you do?

Although most of our work is in new home construction, we do small additions also. We can also do commercial projects and handle buildings with multiple town homes.
