Our Full Range of Drywall Services
We've organized our work into four primary service areas. Each one covers a distinct set of project types, but they're all connected by the same approach: do it right, finish it clean, and leave the wall looking like nothing ever happened.
Drywall Installation & Repair
This is the core of our business — and the broadest category of work we do.
Drywall installation covers any situation where new board needs to go up. New rooms, additions, converted spaces, or full-house hangs on new construction. We handle the complete sequence: selecting the right board type, hanging to spec, taping and bedding seams, finishing to the required level, and applying texture to match the surrounding walls.
Drywall repair covers the everyday damage that homes accumulate over time. Holes from doorknobs, cracks from settlement, damaged sections after a plumbing repair, or nail pops that have finally worked their way through the surface. We also handle ceiling repairs — sagging sections, impact damage, and water stains that have left the board soft or compromised.
The finishing side of this work — taping, mudding, and sanding — is where average drywall work and good drywall work part ways. We finish to Level 4 and Level 5 standards depending on what the job requires, and we take texture matching seriously. Getting a repair patch to disappear into the surrounding wall after paint is a skill, not a given.
What's covered under this service:
- Drywall installation and sheetrock hanging
- Drywall repair — holes, cracks, patches
- Ceiling repair
- Drywall finishing — taping, mudding, sanding
- Knockdown texture application and matching

Home Remodeling & Interior Renovation
Almost every interior renovation project has a drywall component — even when drywall isn't the main focus of the remodel.
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages — when walls get opened up for plumbing, electrical, or structural work, they need to be properly closed back up. When you're removing cabinets or fixtures, the wall behind them usually needs attention. When you're converting a basement or garage into livable space, you're building walls from scratch in an environment that requires careful material selection.
This service area also includes some of the most visible cosmetic work we do: popcorn ceiling removal. A lot of homes across the Myrtle Beach area still have it. Removing it is one of the highest-impact updates you can make before a home sale or a full interior refresh, and doing it properly — wet-scraping rather than dry-scraping, then skim-coating the ceiling before paint — makes the difference between a clean result and a ceiling that looks damaged.
What's covered under this service:
- Popcorn ceiling removal and repair
- Basement drywall installation
- Garage drywall installation — including fire-rated assemblies
- Bathroom drywall — cement board and moisture-resistant panels
- Kitchen drywall repair
- Drop ceiling installation

Water Damage Restoration
Coastal properties deal with moisture in ways that inland homes simply don't. Salt air, high ambient humidity, seasonal storm systems, and the sheer frequency of heavy rain events along the South Carolina coast all put pressure on wall and ceiling assemblies over time.
When water gets into drywall — from a roof leak, a plumbing failure, an HVAC drain line that backed up, or storm-driven intrusion — the clock starts moving quickly. Saturated drywall softens, the paper face deteriorates, and within 24 to 48 hours mold conditions are established. Acting fast and doing the repair correctly — removing all compromised material, allowing the cavity to dry fully, and rebuilding with the right board type — is what prevents the same problem from coming back.
We also handle the insurance side of water damage work. Most storm and plumbing-related water damage events are covered losses under standard homeowner's policies. We document damage thoroughly before demo begins, provide itemized estimates built for adjuster review, and communicate directly with the claims process when needed. Homeowners throughout the Grand Strand deal with storm claims regularly — we know how the process works and we help you get the full scope covered.
One thing that often gets missed in water damage situations: if the affected wall is sitting on compromised framing or a shifting foundation, drywall repair alone doesn't solve the problem. When we see evidence of structural movement behind a damaged wall — separation at the top plate, cracks running at angles from corners, or doors and windows that have started sticking — we recommend getting a structural assessment before rebuilding. A specialist in foundation repair can evaluate whether the movement has stabilized before the new board goes in. Building on an unresolved structural issue leads to the same damage repeating.
What's covered under this service:
- Drywall water damage repair
- Mold-resistant drywall installation
- Insurance restoration drywall repair

Commercial Drywall & New Construction
Large-scale drywall work operates on a different set of expectations than residential repair calls. Production schedules are real. Trade sequencing matters. When a drywall crew falls behind on a commercial buildout or a new construction timeline, it pushes every trade behind them — flooring, paint, trim, fixtures — and the ripple effect on the project budget is immediate.
We work with general contractors, custom builders, commercial developers, and property owners on projects throughout Horry County. Commercial buildouts along the Highway 17 corridor, new residential construction in Carolina Forest and the surrounding growth areas, and room additions on established homes across the Grand Strand.
We staff our crews to the scope of the project. We commit to milestone dates and communicate early if anything changes. We inspect our own finish work before calling it done. For contractors who've had bad experiences with drywall subs — the crew that doesn't show, the finish that falls apart under paint — this is the part of our pitch that tends to land.
What's covered under this service:
- Commercial drywall installation
- New construction drywall — residential and multi-unit
- Room addition drywall

What Sets Myrtle Beach Elite Drywall Apart
There are plenty of drywall contractors working across the Grand Strand. Here's why property owners and general contractors keep calling us back.
We do the full scope. From the hang to the final finish coat, we don't hand off work mid-project. You're not coordinating between a hanging crew and a finishing crew — we handle the entire job.
We know coastal construction. Salt air, persistent humidity, and a storm season that produces real damage every year create conditions that affect how drywall work should be done here. We account for that in our material choices and our process.
We finish to a high standard. A lot of drywall work looks fine until it's painted — then every ridge, every seam, every texture mismatch becomes visible. We finish work that holds up under paint and under raking light, because that's when the quality of the finish actually shows.
We communicate clearly. You'll know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and when we expect to finish. If something changes, you'll hear from us before it affects your timeline.
We work well with other trades. We've been on enough job sites to understand that our work affects everyone around us. We coordinate, we clean up after ourselves, and we don't create problems for the GC or the next trade coming through.

What Does Drywall Work Cost
in the Myrtle Beach Area?
Pricing varies based on the type of work, the board specification, the finish level required, and the overall scope of the job.
General reference points:
Small repairs — patches, cracks, holes, ceiling stains — typically run $150 to $400 depending on size, location, and texture matching complexity.
Room-level installations and remodeling drywall scopes are priced per square foot based on board type, ceiling height, and finish requirements. Most homeowners in the Myrtle Beach area can expect to pay in a range that reflects the actual labor and material involved — not the inflated numbers that come from a generalist who doesn't do this work regularly.
Commercial and new construction work is typically bid as a complete project scope based on square footage, board count, and finish level. We work from plans when they're available or from a site walk when they're not.
The only way to get an accurate number is to let us see the job. We offer free estimates with no obligation. Call us or submit the contact form and we'll schedule a time to come out.
Drywall Services Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle both residential and commercial drywall work?
Yes. We work on everything from single-room residential repairs to full commercial buildouts and new construction installs. The crew, materials, and approach scale to what the project requires.
How quickly can you get out for an estimate?
For standard residential projects, typically within a few business days. For emergency situations involving water damage or active moisture, we prioritize getting out quickly. Call us and we'll get something on the schedule.
Can you match my existing wall or ceiling texture?
Texture matching is one of the skills that separates experienced drywall contractors from general handymen. We match knockdown, skip trowel, orange peel, and other common residential textures on repair work. We'll do a test patch in a low-visibility area if the texture is unusual before committing to the full repair area.
Do you work as a subcontractor under general contractors?
Yes. A significant portion of our work comes from GCs who need a reliable drywall sub on residential and commercial projects. We're familiar with construction schedules, trade sequencing, and the expectations that come with subcontract work.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry the appropriate licensing and liability insurance for drywall contractor work in South Carolina. We're happy to provide documentation on request for any project.
What areas do you serve?
We work throughout Horry County and the Grand Strand — Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Garden City Beach, Pawleys Island, Socastee, Carolina Forest, Little River, and Loris. Call us if you're outside these areas and we'll let you know whether we can accommodate your project.
Can you handle water damage drywall repair as part of an insurance claim?
Yes. We document damage before demo, provide itemized estimates formatted for adjuster review, and coordinate with the insurance process throughout. Insurance restoration work is a regular part of what we do, especially in a coastal market where storm-related claims are common.
How long does drywall work take from start to finish?
It depends heavily on scope. A single-patch repair can be completed in one visit, though the finishing coats need drying time between them. A full room install typically runs 2–4 days. Larger projects — commercial buildouts, new construction, multi-room water damage repairs — are scoped and scheduled on a project-by-project basis. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we look at the job.
