When You Need New Drywall, Not Just a Patch

Some projects need more than a repair — they need new drywall from scratch. Whether you're finishing a basement, closing up after a remodel, replacing flood-damaged walls, or adding a room, we hang the board, tape every joint, build the finish in layers, and leave the surface primed and ready to paint. Here are the most common installation situations we handle settlement cracks to water-damaged walls and patchwork left after plumbing or electrical work. These are the drywall problems we see most often in Naperville.
Seasonal humidity, winter freeze-thaw cycles, roof leaks, plumbing issues, and normal home movement all affect drywall over time. In Naperville, damaged drywall is especially common around ceilings, upstairs bathrooms, windows, garage walls, and recently remodeled areas. If your wall or ceiling looks like any of the situations below, we can inspect it and recommend the right repair.

Basement finishing and buildout

Turning an unfinished basement into livable space starts with framing and drywall. We hang the board on studs or furring strips, tape all joints, mud, sand, texture if needed, and leave walls and ceilings primed and ready for paint.
The most common drywall installation project for Chicagoland homeowners

Closing up walls after remodel or renovation

Kitchen remodels, bathroom guts, room reconfigurations, and additions often leave open stud bays that need new drywall. We hang, tape, and finish the new sections to match the existing walls seamlessly.
Common during kitchen, bathroom, and whole-house renovation projects

Full wall or ceiling replacement after major damage

When water damage, fire, or mold remediation requires removing entire wall or ceiling sections, we install new drywall from the framing up. Full replacement includes hanging, taping, mudding, sanding, texture matching, and priming.
Required after flood damage, fire restoration, or extensive mold remediation

Garage drywall for code compliance or finishing

Attached garages require fire-rated drywall on shared walls per building code. We install 5/8" Type X board, tape and finish all joints, and leave the surface ready for primer. We also finish open garages for homeowners converting to workshop or storage space.
Required by code on attached garage walls and ceilings shared with living space

New room additions and converted spaces

Home additions, attic conversions, bump-outs, and enclosed porches all need new drywall on the walls and ceiling. We work alongside your GC or directly with the homeowner to deliver finished, paint-ready surfaces on new construction framing.
Common in attic conversions, sunroom enclosures, and home office additions

Replacing old plaster with modern drywall

Older homes with crumbling plaster can be converted to drywall for a cleaner, more durable finish. We remove the old plaster and lath, install new drywall on the existing framing, tape, mud, and finish to a smooth or textured surface ready for paint.
Popular upgrade in pre-1960s homes where plaster is cracking, crumbling, or no longer repairable

— What Affects Price
Final drywall repair cost depends on the extent of the damage, the repair location, finish level, and whether the repair needs to blend into an existing painted or textured surface.

Size of the damaged area

A small nail hole and a large wall opening require very different amounts of labor, materials, and finishing time.

Wall vs. ceiling repair

Ceiling drywall repairs usually take more time because of access, overhead work, and the need for more careful blending.

Water damage vs. dry repair

Water-damaged drywall often requires removal, replacement, stain-blocking primer, and extra inspection before repair can begin.

Texture matching and finish quality

Smooth walls and visible finished areas require more detailed work. Matching existing texture also adds time.

Paint scope

We typically leave repairs ready for primer and paint. Full wall or ceiling painting can be added if needed for a better final blend.

— How We Work

How Drywall Installation Actually Works

1

Inspect and assess

We inspect the damaged area, check for loose material, failed tape, cracks, soft spots, or signs of moisture, and determine the right repair method before we begin. If we find active moisture or deeper damage, we explain it before touching anything.
2

Remove damaged or failed material

Loose drywall, damaged tape, weak compound, and compromised sections are removed so the repair is built on a solid base. We do not patch over unstable material just to make it look better for a few weeks.
3

Prepare and reinforce the area

Where needed, we add backing, secure loose edges, and prepare the opening so the new patch has proper support. This is especially important on larger drywall repairs, ceiling cutouts, and previous failed patches.
4

Install new drywall patch or replacement section

We cut and fit the new drywall carefully so the repair sits flush with the surrounding surface. Whether it is a small wall patch or a larger replacement area, the goal is a solid repair that blends in naturally once finished.
5

Tape, mud, and build the repair

We tape all joints properly and apply multiple coats of joint compound to strengthen the repair and create a smooth transition. Each coat is built out past the damaged area so the patch does not look obvious after painting.
6

Sand and smooth the surface

Once each coat of compound dries, we sand the joints smooth and check for any imperfections. We use dust containment to keep the job site clean throughout the process.
7

Match texture if needed

If the wall or ceiling has texture, we blend the repaired area to match the surrounding finish as closely as possible. This step is critical on visible patches, ceiling repairs, and larger drywall areas where a poor blend would stand out.
8

Prime and leave ready for paint

The repaired area is cleaned up, checked, and left ready for primer and paint. If stain-blocking primer is needed, especially after water damage, we apply the proper primer so the repair is ready for the next step and built to last.
From bare studs to a finished, paint-ready surface — here's our step-by-step process for installing new drywall that's built to last.
— Common Questions

FAQ

How much does drywall installation cost per square foot?

For hang, tape, and finish, pricing typically runs $2.50–$4.50 per square foot depending on ceiling height, board type, and finish level. Small single-room jobs cost more per foot than full basements because of fixed setup costs. We quote by project scope, not by the foot — send us your measurements or photos for a quick estimate.

Do you handle framing or just drywall?

We primarily focus on drywall hanging and finishing. For basement buildouts, we can handle basic framing as part of the drywall scope. For structural framing, additions, or load-bearing work, we recommend coordinating with your general contractor and we come in after the framing is inspected and approved.

What thickness of drywall do you install?

Standard installation uses 1/2" drywall for walls and ceilings. Shared walls between garages and living spaces require 5/8" Type X fire-rated board per Illinois building code. For moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, we use moisture-resistant (green board) or cement board as appropriate.

How long does a basement drywall project take?

A standard basement (800–1,200 sq ft) typically takes 5–7 working days from hanging to final prime. This includes hanging, taping, 2–3 coats of compound with drying time between, sanding, and priming. We give you a timeline during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.

Do you supply the drywall materials or do I need to buy them?

We supply all materials — drywall sheets, screws, tape, compound, corner bead, and primer. Everything is included in our quote. We order the correct board type and quantity for your project so there's no waste and no shortage on-site.

Can you work alongside my general contractor?

Yes. We regularly sub for GCs on remodel, addition, and basement projects. We coordinate scheduling around electrical and plumbing rough-in, arrive when framing is inspected, and deliver finished walls on your timeline. We carry COI and can provide documentation to your GC or the homeowner.

Are you licensed for drywall installation work?

Yes. EasyPatch is operated by TMV Services LLC, a licensed Illinois general contractor (License #TGC139780) with full liability insurance. We carry COI for GC coordination and can provide documentation for permits and inspections.

What finish level do you deliver?

Our standard installation delivers a Level 4 finish — fully taped, mudded, and sanded, ready for texture and paint. For smooth walls or high-visibility areas, we offer Level 5 with a full skim coat for a flawless surface under any lighting. We discuss finish level during the estimate based on your needs and budget.
