Drywall installation, also called boarding, is the process of hanging gypsum board on framed walls and ceilings, then taping and finishing it into a smooth surface. Pristine Drywall hangs, tapes, and finishes drywall for general contractors and developers, from bare studs to a paint ready wall.

The details
Drywall installation questions, answered
What thickness of drywall is used in commercial buildings?
Most commercial walls use 5/8 inch Type X board for its fire rating, while 1/2 inch is common on ceilings and non rated partitions. Wet areas take moisture resistant board, and high traffic walls take abuse resistant board. We match the board type to the assembly rating and the room's use.
What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finishes?
Level 4 leaves a smooth finish over tape and fasteners and suits most commercial walls under flat or eggshell paint. Level 5 adds a thin skim coat across the surface so it stays flat under bright or raking light. We finish each wall to the level its lighting and paint sheen require.
Do you hang and finish fire rated and sound rated walls?
Yes. We board 1 hour and 2 hour fire rated assemblies and STC rated partitions using listed details, with the correct board, screw pattern, and layer count. Each assembly is left inspection ready with documentation for the general contractor and the inspector.
