Our Professional Construction Process
Every wall framing and drywall project follows systematic steps to ensure your garage conversion gets properly constructed walls that meet codes and look professional. We coordinate our work with other trades for efficient project completion.
Layout Planning and Wall Positioning
Before starting wall construction, we review your floor plans and mark wall locations on your garage floor to ensure proper room sizes and layouts. We verify measurements, check for conflicts with electrical and plumbing rough-in work, and confirm wall positions with you before framing begins.
Our carpenters use laser levels and precise measuring tools that ensure walls are straight, plumb, and positioned correctly for your conversion layout. You see exactly where walls will be built and can make changes before construction starts if needed for your project.
Wall Framing and Rough-In Coordination
We start wall construction by building frames on the floor and raising them into position with proper spacing and connections to existing structures. Our carpenters install bottom plates, studs, and top plates that create sturdy wall frames ready for electrical and plumbing installations.
We coordinate with electrical and plumbing contractors to ensure proper placement of outlets, switches, and plumbing connections without conflicts or delays. You get properly framed walls that accommodate all electrical and plumbing needs while meeting structural requirements for your garage conversion.
Drywall Installation and Professional Finishing
After electrical and plumbing rough-in work is complete and inspected, we hang drywall on all wall and ceiling surfaces throughout your garage conversion. Our drywall specialists measure and cut sheets precisely, install with proper fasteners, and tape all joints with quality materials for smooth finishes.
We apply multiple coats of joint compound, sand between coats, and create smooth surfaces ready for primer and paint throughout your converted space. You get professional drywall installation that looks smooth and even when painted or finished with other wall coverings.

Moisture-Resistant Drywall for Wet Areas

We install green board or cement board drywall with proper sealing and finishing that protects against moisture problems while providing smooth surfaces.

We install Type X fire-rated drywall with proper installation techniques that provide the required fire protection while creating attractive interior surfaces.
Soundproof Drywall for Noise Control
Converting your garage may require soundproof drywall that reduces noise transmission between rooms and to your main house for comfortable living. We install sound-dampening drywall and insulation that creates quieter interior spaces while maintaining normal wall thickness and appearance.
