Drywall Installation Contractors Across Toronto & the GTA
Clean, accurate drywall hanging for new builds, renovations, basement developments and commercial fit-outs — the foundation every great finish is built on.
Accurate Hanging Is the Foundation of Every Great Finish
A good drywall finish starts with accurate hanging: correct fastener spacing, tight butt joints, and board selected for the application — standard, moisture-resistant, or fire-rated Type X where code requires it.
We hang drywall for everything from single-room repairs to full custom homes and multi-floor commercial build-outs, sequencing work so framing, insulation, and drywall stay on schedule without gaps between trades.
Whether your project needs a straightforward repair or a full-home installation, we assess the scope on-site and recommend the right approach — including when a repair is sufficient versus when a section genuinely needs replacing.
Why GTA clients choose AP Constructions for drywall installation
Precision Hanging
Accurate fastener spacing and tight joints reduce the work required at the taping stage, and help prevent fastener pops down the line.
Fire & Moisture-Rated Board Where Needed
Type X fire-rated board and moisture-resistant board are used in mechanical rooms, bathrooms, and wherever code requires it.
Repair or Full Replacement
We assess water damage, cracks and holes on-site and recommend a repair or replacement scope honestly, not the most expensive option by default.
New Construction & Renovation
From full-home new builds to single-room basement finishes, our crews scale to the size of your project.
Commercial-Grade Scheduling
Multi-floor and occupied-building drywall projects are sequenced to minimize disruption and hit lease or occupancy deadlines.
Clean Job Sites
Dust containment and daily cleanup are standard practice, particularly important in occupied homes and active commercial spaces.
How we deliver drywall installation projects

Hanging & Fastening
Board is hung with proper fastener spacing and butt joints staggered to minimize visible seams before finishing even begins.

We sequence drywall around framing inspections and insulation close-in so the schedule doesn't stall waiting on another trade.
Handoff to Finishing
Hung board is inspected and handed to our taping and finishing crew ready for a clean, predictable finish.
Who we work with
Residential Drywall Installation
Residential drywall work ranges from patching a single damaged wall to hanging an entire custom home. We scope every project honestly, including telling you when a repair — not a full replacement — is the right call.
Explore Residential ConstructionCommercial Drywall Installation
Commercial drywall projects typically call for fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies, tighter schedules, and phased work around occupied or partially occupied buildings — all standard practice for our commercial crews.

Drywall Installation FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners, general contractors and property managers across the GTA.
What's the difference between residential and commercial drywall?
The core material is often similar, but commercial projects more frequently require fire-rated (Type X) board, moisture-resistant board in wet areas, and assemblies engineered to specific fire and sound ratings called for by code and building specifications. Commercial schedules also tend to be tighter and phased around occupied spaces.
Should I repair or fully replace damaged drywall?
It depends on the extent and cause of damage. Small holes, dents and isolated cracks can typically be patched without replacing the whole section. Water-damaged, soft, sagging or actively leaking areas usually need the affected section cut out and replaced — repairing over an active moisture source just leads to the same problem reappearing. We assess this on-site before recommending a scope.
My ceiling has a popcorn texture with a water stain — repair or replace?
A dry, stable, stained popcorn ceiling can often be sealed and repainted. If the texture is sagging, flaking, or the board underneath is soft, that section needs to be cut out and replaced. Homes built before 1990 may have popcorn texture containing asbestos, so we recommend testing before any repair that disturbs the material.
How long does drywall installation take?
A standard room (10x12 ft) typically takes 1–2 days to hang and 2–4 additional days to tape, coat and sand depending on the finish level specified. Whole-basement or whole-home projects are scheduled based on square footage and crew size.
Do I need a permit for drywall work?
Cosmetic drywall repair or replacement generally does not require a permit. Framing new walls, altering fire separations, or finishing a basement into livable space typically does require a permit — we can advise on what applies to your specific project.
