Drywall & Framing in Minooka, IL

Framing and drywall for Minooka homes

Plenty of people want one more room without building an addition, and a well-placed partition wall is often the answer. We frame the wall, set the door, run blocking for anything you plan to hang, then hang, tape and finish the board so it matches the walls around it. The same crew handles the outlet or switch the new wall needs, so you are not chasing three trades. You get a free estimate in writing first, and any change gets priced and approved by you before we make it.

We cover Minooka off I-80 and Route 6 and work along Ridge Road and McLindon Road. The village sits where Grundy, Kendall and Will counties meet, so on any permit job the first thing we confirm is which building department your address answers to. Where a house has an open first floor or a wide basement, that space is a good place to carve out an office, a guest room or a playroom. A new wall in an open plan has to land on the floor and ceiling cleanly, so we check the joist direction and find the ductwork before we lay out a single plate.

What a new wall in Minooka includes

Office and guest room walls

We frame the wall, set a prehung door and finish both sides so the new room looks original.

Closets

Reach-in or walk-in closets get a header over the opening and blocking for shelves and rods.

Blocking for TVs and cabinets

Solid wood goes in the wall where a TV mount, wall cabinet or heavy shelf will hang.

Bulkheads

Ducts and pipes that run below the ceiling get boxed in with straight, square soffits.

Hanging, taping and finishing

We hang board with as few joints as the room allows, then tape and finish it in coats.

Outlets and switches

When a new wall needs power, our crew wires it, with the permit when one is required.

How we run a new wall

We walk the space with you, mark where the wall and door will go, and look at what is above and below. Then you get a written estimate that covers framing, board, finish and any electrical. If something changes, like moving the door a few feet or adding a closet, we write up the new price and you approve it first. The schedule is set before we start, and at the end we walk the finished room together.

FAQ

Drywall & Framing in Minooka: questions

Which county handles permits for my Minooka house?

It depends on the address, since Minooka spans Grundy, Kendall and Will counties. Inside village limits it generally runs through the village. We confirm it and pull the permit for structural work or anything with new electrical or plumbing.

Can you add a wall in an open floor plan?

Yes. We check which way the joists run and where the ducts are, then frame the wall so it ties solidly into the structure. A door and outlets go on the estimate if you want them.

How long does it take to add a room with a wall?

The framing often goes up in a day, and the finishing takes several more visits because the compound needs to dry between coats. The estimate lists the days.

Do you work in other towns near Minooka?

Yes. We do the same work in Channahon, Shorewood and Joliet.

How do I get an estimate?

Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a rough idea or a photo of the space. We will set a time to come out and measure.
