Service
Drywall installed for the finished room—not just the sheet count.
Acutera provides drywall supply, boarding and finishing for renovations, basements, additions, full homes and commercial interiors. The scope is built around wall and ceiling assemblies, access, finish level, wet areas, fire-rated requirements, details and coordination—not only square footage.
What we repair / build
- Walls and ceilings
- Full-house and renovation drywall
- Basement and suite construction
- Moisture-resistant board and tile backer
- Type X and rated assemblies where designed
- Commercial partitions and tie-ins
Our process
- 1Confirm assemblies and finish level
Review drawings or site conditions for board types, wet areas, rated details and Level 4 versus Level 5 expectations.
- 2Supply and board
Deliver and install board to the agreed walls and ceilings, including moisture-resistant or Type X products where specified.
- 3Tape and finish
Tape, coat and sand to the agreed finish level so surfaces are ready for primer.
- 4Prime and paint when included
Carry through coating when the project includes paint so the room is finished, not left at raw compound.
Limitations and safety
- Square footage alone does not set price—height, details, layers and finish level matter.
- Framing, insulation and mechanical readiness may sit with other trades before boarding starts.
- Fire-rated assemblies require the designed system, not informal substitutions.
- One-year limited workmanship warranty.
What changes the price
- Board area and wall/ceiling mix
- Wall height and full-height partitions
- Board type and number of layers
- Finish level and lighting conditions
- Returns, stairs, corners and details
- Delivery, waste, site readiness and schedule

Answers before you book
FAQs
Do you supply the drywall?
Yes. Supply and boarding can be included in the project so board type, thickness and delivery align with the finish plan.
What is Level 4 versus Level 5?
Level 4 is a common paint-ready finish for many homes. Level 5 adds a skim coat for high-visibility or critical lighting conditions and is priced separately when specified.
Do you install moisture-resistant or fire-rated board?
Yes, where the design calls for moisture-resistant, tile-backer or Type X / rated assemblies. Rated work follows the approved assembly—not a generic board substitution.
Is framing included?
Structural framing is outside standard installation scope; minor backing or support tied directly to the drywall work can be discussed as part of the project.
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes. Clear drawings, finish schedule and access notes help. Incomplete plans create assumptions we list explicitly so change triggers stay honest.
Is painting included with installation?
Painting can be added when scoped. Installation often ends at paint-ready finish unless primer and paint are part of the same project.
