Professional Drywall, Sheetrock & Texturing Services
Drywall and sheetrock installation and finishing are foundational to any quality home remodel. Poor installation or rushed finishing shows in seams, cracks, and uneven surfaces. SAR Service and Remodeling delivers professional drywall, sheetrock, and texturing services for new construction, remodel projects, and repair work. We focus on durability, proper substrate preparation, and finish quality so paint and other finishes look great for years.
Why Drywall & Sheetrock Work Matters
Drywall is more than a cosmetic surface—it’s part of the wall assembly that contributes to fire resistance, acoustics, and structural finishes. Proper installation ensures:
- Smooth paint-ready surfaces
- Proper alignment with trim and fixtures
- Correct moisture-resistant assemblies in bathrooms and wet areas
- Structural integrity where walls meet ceilings and framing
Neglecting proper techniques can result in visible seams, nail pops, cracking, and poor paint adhesion.

Our Process and Best Practices
Assessment & Prep
We evaluate the condition of existing walls and ceilings and prepare the area. This includes removing loose materials, addressing underlying moisture or mold issues, and ensuring framing is sound.
Installation or Repair
For new drywall, we hang sheets with correct fastener spacing and seam patterning. For repairs, we create precise patches and backers for a secure base.
Taping & Finishing
Our finishers apply tape, joint compound, and multiple coats with sanding and feathering to create a seamless look. For textured finishes, we match pattern and density to the surrounding area.
Final Inspection & Touch-Ups
A detailed inspection ensures consistent texture and smoothness, ready for primer and paint.
Why Proper Drywall Work Prevents Future Costs
Improper drywall work leads to recurring issues: cracking at seams, patchy paint finishes, and visible nail pops after settlement. Investment in professional installation and finishing reduces long-term maintenance, enhances paint results, and contributes to a higher-quality feel in every room.
Common Drywall Questions
- Can you match my existing texture? Yes. Our finishers can match common textures like orange peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes.
- How long does drywall installation take? Time depends on the area size. Small rooms can be hung and finished in about a week; larger renovations adjust for drying times and coat counts.
- Do you do soundproofing? Yes. We offer acoustic insulation and special drywall assemblies to reduce noise transmission.
- Will you fix mold or water-damaged drywall? We provide repairs but first address the source of moisture—plumbing leaks or ventilation issues—before replacing drywall.
Cost and Scheduling Considerations
Costs depend on square footage, finish levels, and whether demolition or repair is required. Timelines must account for compound drying and sanding to achieve the best finish. We include realistic timing in our remodeling estimates to prevent rushed work and poor outcomes.
Materials and Techniques We Use
- Gypsum Board Types: Standard, mold-resistant, fire-rated, and impact-resistant boards depending on location.
- Joint Compounds: High-quality compounds and proper curing to avoid shrinkage and cracking.
- Taping Methods: Paper or fiberglass tape with precise embedment for long-lasting joints.
- Texture Tools: Sprayers, knockdown knives, and hand trowels for precise texture application.
- Skim Coating: For high-end finish requirements we provide full skim coats to create flatter, paint-ready surfaces.
FAQs (Drywall & Texturing)
What finish level is best for paint?
Levels 4–5 are recommended for paint; level 5 produces the flattest possible surface for high-sheen paints or critical lighting.
Can you replace damaged drywall in plaster homes?
Yes. We can transition plaster to drywall when needed and match surrounding finishes.
How do you prevent nail pops?
Proper fastener placement, correct compound application, and ensuring framing is properly secured reduce occurrence.
