Expert Drywall Installation

Drywall installation is a foundational part of any interior construction or remodeling project. It sets the stage for everything that follows—painting, cabinetry, fixtures, and the overall look and feel of your space. That’s why we treat it with the care it deserves.

Step 1: Planning and Preparation


Before we begin hanging drywall, we carefully assess the structure to ensure it's ready for installation. This includes verifying that all plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and insulation work is complete and up to code. Our project managers double-check framing measurements and layouts to ensure seamless drywall placement.


We also take the time to protect floors, windows, and other elements of the home using plastic sheeting, drop cloths, and masking materials to maintain a clean and safe job site.

Step 2: Material Selection

Takoda Construction uses only high-quality drywall materials sourced from trusted suppliers. Depending on the location and use of the space, we offer:

  • Standard drywall for general living areas.
  • Moisture-resistant green board for bathrooms and laundry rooms.
  • Fire-rated drywall for garages and shared walls in multi-family dwellings.
  • Soundproof drywall for media rooms or home offices.
  • Mold-resistant drywall for high-humidity environments.

We consult with homeowners on the best type of drywall for each space to ensure durability, performance, and safety.

Step 3: Installation


Our skilled crew begins installation by measuring and cutting drywall panels to size using precision tools. Panels are then secured to wall studs or ceiling joists with screws or nails, ensuring they are flush and level. Proper spacing and alignment are key to reducing visible seams and future issues like warping or nail pops.


We stagger joints for added strength and reinforce seams with joint tape. Corners are fitted with metal or paper bead for added protection and clean edges.


Step 4: Taping, Mudding, and Sanding


Once the panels are installed, our team expertly tapes and muds all joints and corners using a three-coat process:



  1. First coat: Joint tape is embedded in a thin layer of joint compound.
  2. Second coat: Additional mud is applied to fill gaps and create a smooth transition.
  3. Final coat: A finishing layer ensures everything is smooth and seamless.


After the compound dries, we sand the surfaces for a perfectly smooth finish, ready for paint or texture. We also offer various texturing options such as orange peel, knockdown, or custom hand textures for a unique finish.

Professional Drywall Repair Services


In addition to installation, Takoda Construction is highly experienced in drywall repair. Damage can happen from water leaks, foundation settling, accidents, or wear and tear. Whatever the cause, we restore your walls and ceilings with invisible, high-quality repairs.


Common Types of Drywall Damage We Repair:

  • Holes from impacts or hardware
  • Cracks from settling or structural shifts
  • Water-damaged drywall
  • Nail pops
  • Joint tape issues
  • Mold or mildew damage
  • Warped or sagging panels


Our Repair Process

Every repair starts with an inspection to identify the full extent of the damage. For small holes and cracks, we may only need to patch and touch up. For larger areas, we may cut out and replace sections of drywall, ensuring the framing underneath is sound.



Once repairs are made, we follow the same meticulous mudding, taping, sanding, and finishing process we use for new installations—leaving no trace of the damage behind. We also match the texture and paint to blend with the existing surface, so the repaired area looks like it was never touched.

Final Touches: Paint and Texture

We don’t stop at drywall. Once the surface is repaired or installed, we can also handle painting, texture application, trim installation, and any finishing work needed to complete the look. Our goal is to provide a smooth, finished surface that enhances the beauty and value of your space.
