Hartford Drywall Pros

The five kinds of drywall work we take on in Hartford

Five categories, and every one of them is work our own crews do rather than hand on. If your job does not obviously sit in one of them, call and ask.

Five categories, and which one your job lands in

You end up on the right page for your own job in one click instead of reading five of them to find out.

Hartford Drywall Pros is a drywall contractor in Hartford running four crews, and these five categories are how the work divides once somebody has looked at it. A single repair is usually two weeks out and a whole floor three to four.

New board on additions, gut jobs and basements is the largest part of what we do, then repairs to holes, cracks and failed plaster, then texture matching in knockdown, orange peel and skip trowel, then ceilings taken down and rehung, then rooms put back after water. Whichever of the five a job lands in, joints are taped in paper bedded in setting compound rather than mesh and lightweight all-purpose, which is what stops a joint ghosting through the paint after one heating season.

Is my job too small to have a page of its own? A homeowner with one cracked bedroom ceiling belongs under repair, and a general contractor with a two family gut to board and finish belongs under installation.

The drywall services we provide in Hartford

  • Drywall Installation

    New board hung and finished on bare framing, from a single opened-up wall to a whole two family gut. The framing is straightened before board is ordered, sheets are hung horizontally, joints are taped in paper and the wall is primed before it is handed over.

  • Drywall Repair

    Holes, cracks, nail pops and plaster that has let go of the lath, put right in walls and ceilings that are staying. Patches are cut square, backed on all four edges and taped in paper rather than filled, then feathered wide and primed so the repair does not read under a raking light.

  • Texture and Finishing

    Sprayed and trowelled textures matched into work already on the wall, new board textured through a whole room, and walls taken the other way to a flat Level 5 skim. Every match is sprayed on a sample board, dried and compared in the room's own light before anything touches the wall.

  • Ceilings

    Ceilings taken down, rehung and finished, from one sagging plaster ceiling to popcorn removal through a whole floor. Joists are strapped level first, ceilings take five-eighths board screwed at seven inches, and the finished ceiling is primed before we leave.

  • Water Damage Repair

    Ceilings and walls put right after ice dams, storm water and burst pipes. Wet board is cut back to dry framing, the cavity is dried and read with a pin meter before anything is closed up, and the new surface is matched and stain blocked.

Hartford Drywall Pros

Small repairs start inside two weeks, no matter how far out the big jobs are booked.

Hartford Drywall Pros hangs, tapes, finishes and repairs walls and ceilings across Hartford, in houses that range from new construction to pre-1940 plaster over lath. Four crews finish about two hundred and forty jobs a year, and a small repair usually starts inside two weeks even while a whole floor is booked further out. Trading here since 2007.

What nineteen years in Hartford's oldest houses taught us

  • Nineteen years working pre-1940 lath and plaster, trading since 2007
  • A screw goes into the wall before the quote, so we know board from plaster first
  • Small repairs start inside two weeks, even when the big jobs are booked further out
  • Nor'easters and ice dams are priced into how we protect a ceiling before we open it
  • We prime what we finish, so you can actually see the work before we leave

If a wall has gone soft after a storm, an old ceiling needs opening up, or a room needs drywall from scratch, call (860) 847-8709 and somebody will come and look at it. We will tell you on that visit whether it is board or lath and plaster behind the surface, and the written quote follows the visit, never before it.
