Our Residential Drywall Services in Dallas, TX
Residential Drywall Installation
Dallas Premier Drywall offers residential drywall installation services covering new-construction hangs, additions, and room remodels throughout the Dallas area, addressing framing irregularities, moisture-prone spaces, and outdated wall surfaces. We coordinate with framing and electrical or plumbing crews before the hang begins, then measure and cut the right gypsum board for each space, secure it to the studs, and tape and finish every joint with corner bead and multiple coats of joint compound for a smooth, Level 4 or Level 5 finish. This produces smooth, uniform walls that resist cracking and sagging over time. Homeowners benefit from improved fire resistance, better sound control, and surfaces ready for a clean, long-lasting prime and paint finish.
Residential Drywall Repair
Our drywall experts provide residential drywall repair by first identifying the root cause of the damage, whether it's moisture intrusion, foundation movement, or impact, so the repair holds long- term. Depending on the issue, we cut out the damaged section, install backing or a California patch, and rebuild the area with setting-type joint compound or lightweight all-purpose compound, feathering each coat for a seamless blend into the surrounding wall. We also match existing texture before priming and painting, so repairs disappear rather than stand out. Our approach restores both the structural integrity and appearance of your walls and ceilings.
Garage Drywall Installation
Our garage drywall installation service follows different standards than living spaces, since walls and ceilings shared with the home require fire separation by code. We hang 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall on these shared assemblies, seal all seams to maintain the fire rating, and leave a half-inch gap above the concrete slab to prevent moisture wicking into the panels. Framing is verified before hang to ensure proper attachment and coverage. In this way, clients have a garage that meets fire-barrier requirements while staying protected from slab moisture over time.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Our Dallas team handles popcorn ceiling removal across the Dallas area. For homes built before 1980, we start by testing for asbestos since older acoustic texture may contain it and require special handling. Once cleared, we protect flooring and furniture, mist the ceiling to loosen the texture, and use a wet-scrape method to keep dust to a minimum during removal. After scraping, we apply a skim coat, sand it smooth to a Level 5 finish, and prime the surface. This process leaves ceilings smooth, updated, and ready for paint without the mess of traditional dry removal.
Our Drywall Services for Businesses in Dallas, TX
Commercial Drywall Installation
Our commercial drywall installation service supports tenant improvement projects, office build-outs, and new construction where fire and sound ratings vary by occupancy type. Dallas Premier Drywall experts lay out each space per architectural plans, then hang Type X or Type C gypsum board to meet the required UL-listed assembly on demising walls, corridor walls, and shared partitions, finishing to a Level 4 or Level 5 spec. Moisture-resistant board is used in restrooms and other wet areas as needed. Our code-driven approach helps ensure the finished space passes inspection and performs to the fire and sound rating your occupancy requires.
Commercial Drywall Repair
Commercial drywall repair often needs to happen without interrupting daily business operations, so we schedule work after hours or during off-peak times whenever possible. We assess the damage and any applicable fire or sound rating first, then cut out and patch the affected area, restoring the life-safety assembly to its original rating when required. Finishing is matched to the existing texture so repairs blend into the surrounding wall or ceiling. This process keeps tenant spaces looking consistent while maintaining the building's fire and sound performance.
Drywall Partition Installation
Dallas Premier Drywall provides expert drywall partition installation services to define tenant spaces within a larger building, separating offices, suites, or units while meeting acoustic and fire separation requirements between them. We chalk the layout per the space plan, install galvanized cold-formed steel studs and track with slip or deflection track at the ceiling line, then coordinate MEP rough-in before hanging Type X board on both sides for demising walls. Joints are taped and finished to a smooth, consistent surface. This method keeps partitions structurally sound while meeting the fire and sound separation tenants expect between spaces.
Suspended Ceiling Installation
We offer suspended ceiling installation solutions, giving commercial spaces easy access to the plenum for wiring, ductwork, and plumbing while maintaining a finished look overhead. We establish ceiling height and layout, then install wall angle along with a heavy-gauge galvanized steel grid of main and cross tees, using exposed or concealed grid systems as the design calls for and bracing the assembly to meet seismic and wind-load code requirements. Acoustical mineral fiber panels or moisture-resistant gypsum panels are dropped in once the grid is level and secure. The result is a ceiling that's easy to maintain and access for future service work.
Dallas Premier Drywall Specialized Services
Drywall Ceiling Repair
Our drywall professionals provide drywall ceiling repair for Dallas properties dealing with sagging, cracking, or uneven ceilings, issues often tied to foundation movement, moisture, or truss uplift common in our region's clay soil. Our team inspects the ceiling to identify the actual cause first, then cuts out the damaged section, secures new backing and board, and tapes and muds the area in stages to allow proper drying between coats. The result is a repair that holds, and sanding and texture matching that leave the ceiling looking consistent with the rest of the room.
Water Damage Drywall Repair
Our drywall expertise includes water damage drywall repair for homes affected by burst pipes, storm intrusion, or slow leaks caused by rebuilding too soon, which traps moisture behind new drywall. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to confirm the structure is fully dry, remove any affected material, treat for mold when present, and install moisture-resistant board in its place. This addresses the source of the damage, giving you a repair that's less likely to develop problems later, with a finish that matches the surrounding wall or ceiling.
Drywall Texture Matching
We offer drywall texture matching for homes where a patch or repair needs to blend into surrounding walls or ceilings with patterns like knockdown, orange peel, or skip trowel. We test the pattern and sheen on a small area first, then apply compound with a hopper gun or trowel and feather the edges to recreate the original texture. Careful matching keeps repairs from standing out once painted, and Dallas Premier Drywall's attention to detail means you get a consistent look throughout the space rather than a visible patch.
Metal Stud Framing
Our drywall experts handle metal stud framing for interior walls that need a straight, stable structure, an option many builders prefer over wood for its consistency and resistance to warping over time. We lay out each wall with chalk lines and a laser level, install top and bottom track, set studs to the required spacing, and brace everything to account for wind exposure common in North Texas. This engineered approach keeps walls plumb and level for the life of the building, giving drywall installers a solid foundation to build on.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation
We provide fire-rated drywall installation for walls and ceilings that need to slow the spread of fire and meet local building codes, common in shared walls, corridors, and multi-unit buildings. We frame and hang Type X or Type C gypsum board with staggered seams for added strength, then seal all seams and penetrations with fire-rated caulk to maintain the assembly's rating. Our work is completed to pass inspection and hold up over time, giving your building reliable fire protection without compromising compliance.
Moisture & Mold-Resistant Drywall Installation
Our Dallas drywall specialists provide moisture and mold-resistant drywall installation for bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, and other spaces that get more humidity than the rest of the home. Dallas Premier Drywall selects the right material for each space, whether that's moisture-resistant green board or mold-resistant board with a paperless facing, and installs a vapor barrier where needed before sealing seams and finishing with a mold-resistant primer. Our team’s targeted approach helps prevent moisture problems before they start, giving humidity-prone areas of your home added protection and a longer-lasting finish.

Our Drywall Installation and Repair Process
Step 1:
Site Assessment & Drywall Surface Preparation
Our Dallas Premier Drywall professionals start with a walkthrough to assess the space, protect flooring and furniture, and prepare surfaces for the work ahead. This step sets the foundation for a clean, efficient project from day one.
Step 2:
Drywall Hanging
Stage
Panels are measured, cut, and hung to framing according to the project's specifications, whether it's new construction, a remodel, or a repair. As an on time drywall contractor, we coordinate this stage closely with framing and other trades to keep the schedule on track.
Step 3:
Drywall Taping and
Mudding
Joints are taped and coated in stages, allowing each layer of compound to dry properly before the next is applied. This staged process is central to a code-compliant drywall installation that holds up over time.
Step 4:
Dust Controlled Drywall Repair
For repair and remodel work, we use dust-controlled drywall repair methods to minimize mess and keep the surrounding space clean throughout the process. This is especially important in occupied homes and active commercial spaces.
Step 5:
Drywall Sanding and Finishing
Once compound coats are fully dry, we sand each area smooth and finish it to the appropriate level, from a basic finish to a smooth Level 5 surface ready for texture or paint. This step brings walls and ceilings to their final, polished appearance.
Step 6:
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We complete a final walkthrough to confirm the work meets project specifications and code requirements before signing off. As a drywall contractor with warranty coverage, we stand behind the finished work long after the project is complete.
Quality Materials We Use for Dallas, TX Homes and Businesses
Dallas Premier Drywall brings together skilled craftsmanship and the right materials for every project, from residential repairs to commercial installations across the Dallas area. Whatever your drywall needs, our experienced team is ready to deliver lasting results you can count on.
Gypsum Board
Gypsum board is the standard material for most residential and commercial walls and ceilings, providing a smooth, paintable surface once finished. We use standard 1/2-inch board for most living spaces and select thicker options when a project calls for added strength or fire resistance.
Type X Drywall
Type X drywall contains added fire-resistant core material, making it a code requirement for garages, shared walls, and other fire-rated assemblies. We rely on it whenever a project needs to meet a specific fire rating, particularly in multi-unit buildings and homes with attached garages common throughout Dallas.
Type C Drywall
Type C drywall offers an enhanced fire-resistant core beyond standard Type X, making it suitable for certain UL-listed assemblies with stricter fire-rating requirements. We use it on select commercial projects, such as shaft walls and specific fire-rated partitions, where the assembly calls for this added level of protection.
Moisture-Resistant Drywall
Moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board, is designed to hold up better than standard board in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other humid areas. Given the humidity swings typical in North Texas, we use this material to help prevent warping and moisture damage in exposure-prone spaces.
Mold-Resistant Drywall
Mold-resistant drywall goes a step further than moisture-resistant board, using a paperless facing that resists mold growth even in consistently damp conditions. We select this material for spaces with higher humidity exposure or where past moisture issues make added protection worthwhile.
Joint Compound
Joint compound is used to tape, coat, and finish drywall seams, building up in layers to create a smooth, seamless wall or ceiling surface. We use different types depending on the stage of the project, including setting-type compound for repairs and lightweight compound for final finishing coats.

Dallas Building Codes and Permitting
Navigating building codes in Dallas–Fort Worth can be one of the more confusing parts of a drywall project, especially since requirements shift depending on the type of building and how the space is used. Dallas locally adopts the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC), along with the 2020 National Electrical Code, all modified with city-specific amendments. Fire-rated assemblies and sound separation requirements are typically governed by IBC provisions, and these standards vary depending on occupancy classification, meaning a garage wall shared with a living space may call for a different fire-rated assembly than a standalone structure would.
Permits are generally required for additions, renovations, repairs, new construction, and rehabilitations, and applications go through the City's Building Inspection Department along with the required construction plans and documentation. Skipping this step can create problems later, particularly when selling a property or filing an insurance claim after damage occurs. Working with a contractor familiar with local requirements helps avoid delays, failed inspections, or rework caused by using the wrong assembly or material for the job.
At Dallas Premier Drywall, we stay current on code requirements across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, so whether it's a fire-rated wall in a garage conversion, a sound-rated demising wall in a commercial tenant space, or a straightforward residential addition, the work is done to meet local standards and pass inspection without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Note: Code editions and amendments change periodically, so it’s best to confirm current requirements with the City of Dallas Development Services.
What Clients Say About Dallas Premier Drywall Services
“We had cracking above our living room doorway that kept coming back after DIY patches. Dallas Premier Drywall figured out it was related to foundation movement, fixed the backing properly, and it's been solid for over a year now. I finally understand why it kept happening."
Karen Whitfield
Homeowner, Lakewood,TX
“We hired them for a tenant buildout that needed specific fire and sound ratings on the demising walls. They knew the code requirements without us having to explain anything, and the project passed inspection on the first try. That kind of reliability matters when you're managing multiple properties."
Marcus Roberts
Commercial Property Manager
“Water damage from an upstairs leak left a big patch on our shop ceiling. I was worried the repair would look obviously different from the rest of the ceiling, but they matched the texture and finish almost perfectly. Customers walk in and have no idea anything happened up there."
Angela Brooks
Small Business Owner, Bishop Arts District

Drywall Services FAQ
A single room typically takes 3 to 5 days, accounting for hanging, taping, multiple coats of joint compound, and drying time between coats. Larger projects or full-home installations can take 1 to 2 weeks depending on square footage and finish level.
No, most residential repairs are completed while you continue living in the home, though we'll section off the work area to control dust and keep the rest of the space clean. Larger projects involving multiple rooms may require limited access to those specific areas during work hours.
Yes, we test and match existing textures like knockdown, orange peel, or skip trowel before completing the full repair, so the finished patch blends into the surrounding surface. We recommend a small test area first, especially for older or heavily textured walls where exact matching can be more difficult.
Homes built before 1980 have a higher likelihood of asbestos in popcorn ceiling texture, so we test before starting any removal work. If asbestos is present, the material requires specialized handling and may need to be addressed by a licensed abatement contractor before we proceed.
Small residential patches typically range from $150 to $400, while larger repairs or water damage restoration can range from $500 to $2,500 depending on the extent of the damage. Final pricing depends on the size of the area, the type of drywall used, and whether additional work like mold treatment is needed.
