Get new drywall that blends into the walls you already have, whether they are plaster or board. We cover Downers Grove.
Good drywall work is mostly about the finish, and the finish depends on straight framing underneath. Our crew handles both, from new walls, closets and bulkheads to hanging, taping and sanding the board. We also install wood blocking inside the wall before it closes, so a TV, a cabinet or a grab bar has something solid to screw into. Every job starts with a free written estimate, and changes are priced and approved by you before we make them.
We reach Downers Grove off I-88 and I-355 and work along Ogden Avenue, Butterfield Road and the streets around Main Street and the Metra station downtown. Downers Grove has houses of many different styles, so the walls we open here vary: plaster on lath in some, drywall in others, and sometimes both under one roof after an addition. When new board meets old plaster, the thickness rarely matches, so we shim the framing or build up the surface until the two sit flush. Then we tape across the joint and skim it so the line between old and new does not show.
We shim or build up the new section so it sits flush with the plaster, then tape and skim across the joint.
Solid wood goes in before the wall closes, placed where you plan to hang things.
Partitions and closets get framed square, with headers over the doors.
Soffits around ducts and beams get framed with straight edges and square corners.
Board gets hung, taped and finished in coats, then sanded smooth for paint.
Doorways get plastic, floors get covered and the sanding runs through a vacuum where it fits.
A free on-site visit lets us see what the walls are made of and what the job involves. The written estimate follows, listing each wall, ceiling or closet with what we will do to it. If something unexpected turns up once we are inside, the price goes on paper and waits for your approval. We book the days before we start and end with a walkthrough so you can look at every surface before paint.
