Our Professional Drywall Services
We cover the full scope of drywall work — installation, repair, finishing, texturing, and specialty situations like water damage or commercial build-outs.
Drywall Installation & Repair
This is the core of what we do. Whether you're building new walls from scratch or patching up damage from years of normal wear, we handle it all.
- Drywall installation and sheetrock hanging — new rooms, additions, full-house installs
- Drywall repair — holes, cracks, dents, damaged corners
- Ceiling repair — sagging sections, water stains, impact damage
- Drywall finishing — taping, mudding, and sanding to a smooth, paint-ready surface
- Knockdown texture — matching existing texture or applying fresh knockdown patterns
A lot of repair calls we get are straightforward — a doorknob punched through the wall, a nail pop that opened up over time, or a crack that formed after the house settled. We fix those cleanly so you can't tell anything was ever there.
Other times it's bigger. We once got a call from a homeowner in Carolina Forest who had hired a handyman to hang drywall in a converted garage. When we got there, the boards weren't properly fastened, the seams weren't staggered, and the mud had been applied so thick it was already cracking before it dried. We pulled it out and started fresh. The room came out the way it should have the first time.

Home Remodeling & Interior Renovation
Remodeling projects almost always touch the drywall — even when that's not the plan.
Kitchen updates, bathroom renovations, basement finishes, garage conversions — once you open the walls, you need someone who can button everything back up cleanly and match the surrounding finish.
- Popcorn ceiling removal and repair — a lot of homes in the Myrtle Beach area still have it; we remove it cleanly or repair damaged sections
- Basement drywall installation — moisture-resistant boards, proper spacing for airflow
- Garage drywall installation — fire-rated assemblies when required
- Bathroom drywall — cement board and moisture-resistant panels in wet areas
- Kitchen drywall repair — after cabinet installs, range hood venting, or plumbing work
- Drop ceiling installation — grid systems for commercial spaces or finished basements
One thing we see often: homeowners want to remove popcorn ceilings before selling. It's a smart move — buyers notice it, and it dates a house immediately. We've done popcorn removal in homes throughout the Socastee and Market Common neighborhoods before they went on the market. Smooth ceilings photograph better and add perceived value.

Water Damage Restoration Drywall
Living near the coast has its benefits. It also comes with humidity levels, storm surge risk, and the kind of moisture exposure that does real damage to walls and ceilings over time.
We see a lot of water-damaged drywall on the Grand Strand. A roof leak after a storm. A plumbing line that let go inside a wall. An AC condensate line that backed up. The drywall gets saturated, starts to soften, and in the right conditions, mold sets in fast.
- Drywall water damage repair — remove damaged sections, replace with new board, finish to match
- Mold-resistant drywall installation — paperless and moisture-resistant options for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and coastal properties
- Insurance restoration drywall repair — we work alongside your claim and document everything properly
We want to mention something worth knowing here: water damage to walls can sometimes reveal deeper structural issues beneath the surface. If a soaked wall is sitting on a compromised slab or a shifting footing, the drywall repair is only part of the picture. In cases like that, it's worth having a structural specialist look at the foundation repair side of things before the walls go back up. We've seen homeowners skip that step and end up dealing with the same cracks and separations six months later.
Once the structure is sound, we come in and rebuild the wall assembly properly — moisture-resistant board, clean seams, matched finish.

Commercial Drywall & New Construction
Commercial drywall work runs on tight schedules. A general contractor waiting on a drywall crew to finish before the flooring crew can come in — that delay costs real money. We show up, keep pace, and hit our milestones.
- Commercial drywall installation — offices, retail buildouts, medical spaces, restaurants
- New construction drywall — full house hangs, multi-unit residential, production builds
- Room addition drywall — tying new construction into existing finishes seamlessly
We've worked with general contractors on projects across Horry County, including commercial buildouts in the Broadway at the Beach corridor and new construction throughout the Carolina Forest and International Drive areas. We understand how to work within a construction schedule and coordinate with other trades.

Here's what actually sets us apart:
We match texture
This sounds simple. It's not. Matching an existing knockdown, skip trowel, or orange peel texture on a repair patch so the wall looks consistent — that takes skill and experience. We do it right.
We finish clean
A lot of drywall work looks fine until it's painted. Then every ridge, groove, and bead shows up. We take the time to get our finish work to a Level 5 standard when the job calls for it.
We communicate
You'll know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what the timeline looks like. No guessing, no showing up and disappearing.
We understand coastal construction
Homes in Myrtle Beach, Garden City, and Litchfield Beach deal with salt air, humidity, and seasonal moisture intrusion that you don't see inland. We factor that into material selection and installation practices.
We handle insurance work
If your damage is tied to a homeowner's insurance claim, we know how to document the scope, provide the right photos and estimates, and work alongside the adjuster process.
What Does Drywall Work Cost in Myrtle Beach?
Honest answer: it depends on the job.
A simple repair — patching a hole, fixing a crack, blending in a section after a plumbing repair — typically runs a few hundred dollars depending on size and finish complexity.
A full room drywall installation or basement finish runs higher, based on square footage, ceiling height, and finish level required.
Commercial work and new construction are typically priced per square foot, with the final number shaped by board type, labor hours, and finishing requirements.

Common Drywall FAQs
How long does a typical drywall repair take?
Small repairs — patches, holes, and cracks — can often be done in a single visit. Larger repairs that require multiple coats of joint compound will need a day or two between coats to dry properly before we can sand and finish. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we look at the job.
Can you match my existing texture?
Yes. Texture matching is one of the more skill-intensive parts of drywall work, and it's something we take seriously. Knockdown, skip trowel, orange peel, smooth — we can match most residential textures. We'll typically do a test patch in a less visible area first if the texture is unusual.
Do you use moisture-resistant drywall in bathrooms and kitchens?
Always in wet areas. Standard drywall behind tile or in high-humidity environments fails over time. We use cement board or moisture-resistant gypsum board in bathrooms, and greenboard or paperless drywall in areas that see regular moisture exposure.
What's the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish?
Level 4 is standard for most painted walls — it's smooth and covers the tape and fasteners well. Level 5 adds a thin skim coat over the entire surface, which eliminates any surface variation that shows under flat paint or strong raking light. High-end finishes and commercial spaces with certain lighting conditions typically call for Level 5.
Do you handle insurance claims for water-damaged drywall?
Yes. We work with homeowners through the insurance process, provide itemized estimates, document damage with photos, and coordinate with adjusters. It's a routine part of our water damage restoration work.
How soon can you start?
Depends on current schedule. For emergency situations — active leaks or significant water damage — we prioritize getting out quickly. For planned projects and remodels, contact us and we'll give you an honest timeline on availability.
Can you install fire-rated drywall in my garage?
Yes. Garages attached to living spaces have fire separation requirements under most building codes. We install Type X fire-rated drywall and can advise on the correct assembly to meet code in Horry County.
Do you do commercial drywall work?
We do. We work with general contractors, property managers, and business owners on commercial buildouts, tenant improvements, and new construction throughout the Myrtle Beach area.
