Drywall Contractor in Meridian, Idaho

Residential Drywall Services in Meridian

Drywall installation

New rooms and additions get 1/2-inch on partitions. Rated lids and garage walls get thicker Type X. We hang after rough-in, not before. See drywall installation for board choice by room.

Drywall repair

Screw pops, bubbled tape, and hairline cracks at vault peaks show up on 2000s production stock. We cut to solid gypsum, re-tape, and blend texture. Details live on drywall repair .

Drywall hole repair

Doorknob punches, TV-mount blowouts, and electrician squares are patches, not whole-room hangs. Drywall hole repair uses a California patch or a stud-to-stud piece.

Taping and texturing

Paper tape, a hot-mud tape coat, and knockdown or orange peel after a new hang. Taping and texturing is the finish you see after paint.

Drywall texture matching

Matching 2005 knockdown around a plumber cutout differs from spraying a new house. Texture matching dials hopper and air to the existing wall.

Popcorn ceiling removal

Acoustic texture comes off after testing on older homes, then we skim or retexture. Popcorn ceiling removal is the scrape, not a coat of paint over bumps.

Drywall finishing

Level 4 is the production standard. Level 5 is a full skim for critical light. Drywall finishing is the last coats and the raking-light check.

Skim coat drywall

Old knockdown that has to go smooth without a rehang is a skim. Skim coat drywall covers existing texture. It is not a new Level 5 specification.

Level 5 finish

Kitchens with enamel and living rooms with west glass need a thin skim over a proper Level 4 hang. Level 5 finish stops joints from flashing.

Water damaged drywall

Soft gypsum after an ice-maker leak or a second-floor overflow comes out. Water damaged drywall dries the cavity, then hangs new board.

Ceiling repair

Sagging 1/2-inch, truss-uplift cracks, and can-light holes are overhead work. Ceiling repair is not a wall patch turned sideways.

Basement drywall

We check moisture on former farm ground before we hang. Basement drywall uses 5/8-inch on 24-inch joists.

Bathroom drywall

Green or purple board outside the spray. Cement board in the shower stall. Bathroom drywall is the wet-zone hang.

Garage drywall

The wall and lid between cars and living space take 5/8-inch Type X, taped. Garage drywall is a rated assembly.

Bonus room drywall

A room over the garage still needs Type X on the garage lid, then a living-space finish. Bonus room drywall covers conversions too.

New construction drywall

Production plats and custom houses after the rough-in inspection. New construction drywall includes punch after other trades.

Soundproof drywall

Mass, offset seams, and acoustic sealant. One specialty sheet is not an STC stack. Soundproof drywall is the assembly.

Commercial Drywall Services

Commercial drywall

Offices, retail at The Village at Meridian, and medical build-outs on Chinden and Fairview use metal studs, Type X on corridors, and the finish the spec names. Commercial drywall follows the plan set, not a house knockdown.

Why Meridian Property Owners Call a Drywall Contractor

Meridian counted 117,635 people in 2020. It is Idaho's second-largest city and the fastest-growing in the state. The town was platted in 1893 on homestead land and named for the Boise Meridian. Irrigation from the Nampa-Meridian and Settlers districts turned dry bench into farms. Most houses went up after 1990 on that former ground.

The stock fails in a short list. Fastener pops as 2x framing dries. Truss uplift cracks at vaults after a freeze. Stains under second-floor baths. Old Town along Pine, Main, and Meridian Road still mixes plaster with gypsum. North of McMillan the plats are master-planned. South of I-84 the new-construction belt is still moving.

We hang to ASTM C1396 board. We tape to GA-216 practice. We finish to the Gypsum Association level the paint needs. Type X on garage lids. Moisture-resistant board in laundry and baths. Setting-type compound on the tape coat so joints do not shrink back in this dry air.

Treasure Valley summers pass 100 F. Board stored bowed in a hot garage takes a set. Mud skins fast in July. Winters are cold with light snow, so unheated new builds need heat in the room or the finish checks. We plan the schedule around that, not a national calculator. Elevation here is about 2,599 feet. Humidity stays low. That is why we talk about heat, flat storage, and coat timing.

Our Drywall Process

Scope the job

We need the city, the room, ceiling height, and whether this is a hang, a repair, a popcorn scrape, or a finish. Photos of damage help. We do not quote a square-foot number from another market as if it were your house.

Hang the right board

Interior walls get 1/2-inch. Ceilings on 24-inch joists and garage assemblies get 5/8-inch Type X. Wet rooms get moisture-resistant board. Showers get cement board. Screws, not nails, dimpled into the face paper.

Tape, coat, and dry

Paper tape on the flats. Hot mud beds the tape. Ready-mix finishes the joints. Three coats. Meridian's dry air shortens wait time in summer and lengthens it in a cold shell.

Texture and check

Knockdown or orange peel on most production homes. Level 5 skim where the light will show joints. We check under a work light held parallel to the wall before anyone primes.

Areas We Serve

We work from Meridian across Ada County and into Canyon County. Dedicated pages: Boise , Nampa , Eagle , Kuna , Star , Caldwell , Garden City , Middleton , Emmett , Hidden Springs , south Meridian , and Melba . Call (208) 382-8431 if your town is next door and the job is a real hang or repair.

Paramount, Bridgetower, Tuscany, Century Farm, and Lochsa Falls are the plats we name because that is where the gypsum and knockdown actually sit. Corridors along Chinden Boulevard, Eagle Road, Fairview, Ten Mile, Locust Grove, Linder, McMillan, and Lake Hazel carry both houses and tenant work. Landmarks such as The Village at Meridian, Settlers Park, Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park, and the Meridian Idaho Temple mark the map, not a shop address.

HomeAdvisor clusters in the same band, with many jobs between $987 and $3,215. Those are national averages, not our price. Height, Type X, wet-room board, and heat in the house move a Meridian quote.
