New drywall installation in Stratford for basement finishes, additions, garage conversions, and whole-home builds. Work covers measuring and supplying board, hanging, taping, mudding and sanding to a paint-ready finish — with the board type matched to the room: moisture-resistant board in basements and bathrooms, fire-rated board where code requires it (garages, furnace rooms).
How installation runs
- Measure and quote from dimensions and ceiling height.
- Board delivery and hanging.
- Taping and mudding in stages.
- Sanding and finish check in raking light.
- Paint-ready handover.
What installation typically costs
- A single room: roughly $1,200–$3,500 installed (HomeStars Canada).
- A full home: roughly $8,000–$25,000, layout complexity doing most of the work inside the range.
- Inside a basement finish: drywall typically appears at about $2–$8 per sq ft as one line item of the larger project — for budgeting a basement, not pricing a standalone job.
- Moisture/mould-resistant board: roughly $2,000–$5,000 for a typical room-scale install.
There is no honest single square-foot price for standalone drywall; room dimensions and a ceiling height get an accurate quote.
Walls open? Insulation is cheapest now
Basement and addition work often pairs drywall with insulation. If the walls are open, ask about insulation at the quote stage — it is the cheapest moment in the life of the wall to add it.
FAQs
Which board goes in a basement or bathroom?
Moisture-resistant board in basements and bathrooms, fire-rated board where code requires it (garages, furnace rooms), standard board elsewhere — the board type is matched to the room at the quote stage.
Can you finish a basement that’s already framed?
Yes — measuring and quoting starts from the framed dimensions and ceiling height. If the walls are open, ask about insulation at the quote stage; it’s the cheapest moment in the life of the wall to add it.
Do the walls come ready for paint?
Yes — hanging, taping, mudding and sanding to a paint-ready finish, checked in raking light before handover. Painting itself is quoted separately if you want it.
