Comprehensive Drywall Re-Sheeting and Replacement Services

Metrotown Drywall Burnaby provides complete drywall re-sheeting and replacement solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout Burnaby, BC. Our services encompass wall and ceiling re-sheeting, full replacement installations, professional removal, and comprehensive upgrade solutions.

Drywall Re-Sheeting for Walls and Ceilings

Drywall re-sheeting involves installing new drywall sheets over existing surfaces to create fresh, smooth walls and ceilings. This process works well when your current drywall shows minor damage or surface imperfections but maintains structural integrity.

Wall Re-Sheeting Benefits:

• Faster installation than full removal
• Cost-effective renovation solution
• Minimal disruption to your space
• Enhanced surface quality

Your project begins with surface preparation where we secure any loose sections and address minor irregularities. We then measure and cut new drywall sheets to fit your specific dimensions.

The installation process includes proper fastening techniques using appropriate screws spaced according to building codes. We ensure each sheet aligns perfectly with adjacent panels for seamless coverage.

Ceiling Re-Sheeting Process:

1. Surface inspection and preparation
2. Precise measuring and cutting
3. Professional installation with proper support
4. Initial finishing and joint preparation

Our team handles both standard and specialty drywall materials including moisture-resistant and fire-rated options for specific applications.

Drywall Replacement Solutions

Complete drywall replacement becomes necessary when existing materials show extensive damage, outdated composition, or structural compromise. This comprehensive approach delivers superior long-term results for your renovation projects.

We remove damaged sections completely before installing fresh materials. This method works best for water-damaged areas, outdated plaster walls, or spaces requiring modernization for businesses and residential properties.

Replacement Applications:

• Water damage restoration - Complete removal prevents mold growth
• Structural modifications - New layouts require fresh installation
• Building code updates - Modern materials meet current standards
• Quality improvements - Enhanced insulation and soundproofing options

Your replacement project includes material selection guidance based on your specific needs. We recommend appropriate thickness, type, and grade for optimal performance.

Installation follows precise techniques ensuring proper spacing, alignment, and fastening. Each panel receives careful attention for long-lasting durability.

Professional Drywall Removal

Proper drywall removal requires specialized techniques to prevent damage to underlying structures and ensure safe disposal of materials. Our systematic approach protects your property while preparing surfaces for new installation.

We begin with thorough assessment of removal areas and identification of electrical, plumbing, or HVAC components. This prevents accidental damage during the removal process.

Removal Process Steps:

• Utility location and protection
• Systematic panel removal
• Debris containment and disposal
• Surface cleaning and preparation

Our team uses appropriate tools for clean removal without excessive wall stud damage. We score and break panels systematically rather than using destructive methods.

Dust containment measures protect your living or working spaces during removal operations. We utilize plastic barriers and ventilation control for cleaner work environments.

Drywall Wall and Ceiling Upgrades

Upgrade services transform existing spaces with improved materials, better finishes, and enhanced performance characteristics. These improvements increase property value while addressing specific functional requirements.

Modern drywall options include moisture-resistant panels for bathrooms, fire-rated materials for safety compliance, and soundproofing solutions for noise control. Each upgrade type serves specific purposes in different applications.

Available Upgrade Options:

       Upgrade Type                 Benefits                              Best Applications

   Moisture-resistant      Prevents mold growth        Bathrooms, kitchens

   Fire-rated                    Enhanced safety                 Commercial spaces, garages

   Soundproof                 Noise reduction                   Bedrooms, offices

   Textured finishes        Decorative appeal               Living areas, lobbies

Your upgrade project includes consultation on material selection based on room function and performance requirements. We explain benefits and limitations of each option for informed decision-making.



Installation incorporates proper techniques specific to each material type. Specialized fasteners, spacing, and finishing methods ensure optimal performance from your upgraded drywall system.

Expert Drywall Installation and Finishing

Professional drywall installation requires precise hanging techniques, proper taping and mudding application, thorough sanding preparation, and skilled finishing work. Each step builds upon the previous one to create smooth, paint-ready surfaces that meet industry standards.

New Drywall Hanging and Installation

Proper drywall hanging forms the foundation of any quality wall system. Your contractor will measure and cut sheets to minimize joints while maximizing structural integrity.

Professional installers secure drywall panels to wall studs using appropriate fasteners spaced according to building codes. They position sheets with minimal gaps between panels to reduce finishing work later.

Key Installation Steps:

• Accurate measurement and cutting
• Proper stud alignment verification
• Strategic screw placement every 8-12 inches
• Electrical outlet and fixture cutouts

Experienced drywall contractors in Burnaby BC ensure panels hang plumb and level. They check for proper backing at all joints before securing sheets permanently.

Corner installations require special attention to prevent future cracking. Your installer will use metal corner beads on outside corners and properly overlap sheets at inside corners.

Drywall Taping and Mudding Process

Taping and mudding conceals joints between drywall panels and screw holes. This multi-coat process requires specific techniques to achieve seamless results.

The first coat applies joint compound over paper tape at all seams. Your contractor embeds the tape fully while removing excess compound to prevent ridging.

Mudding Schedule:

• First coat: Tape embedding with thin application
• Second coat: Wider application to feather edges
• Third coat: Final smoothing and blending

Each coat must dry completely before applying the next layer. Professional drywall services allow proper curing time between applications.

Screw holes receive three separate coats of compound. The contractor fills each fastener depression and sands smooth between applications.

Drywall Sanding and Surface Preparation

Surface preparation through sanding removes imperfections and creates uniform texture. Your contractor uses progressively finer grits to achieve smooth finishes.

Initial sanding removes high spots and tool marks from dried joint compound. Professional sanders work systematically to avoid gouging the paper surface.

Dust control becomes critical during this phase. Experienced contractors use vacuum sanders or plastic sheeting to contain debris.

Sanding Process:

1. Coarse grit removal of major imperfections
2. Medium grit smoothing of joint areas
3. Fine grit final surface preparation
4. Dust removal and surface inspection

Proper lighting reveals remaining flaws that require additional compound application. Your contractor inspects all surfaces under bright work lights before declaring completion.

Drywall Finishing and Custom Textures

Finishing transforms raw drywall into ready-to-paint surfaces through priming and texturing applications. Different finish levels serve specific project requirements.

Standard Finish Levels:

• Level 3: Basic finish for textured surfaces
• Level 4: Standard smooth finish for paint
• Level 5: Premium finish for high-end applications

Custom textures add visual interest while hiding minor surface imperfections. Popular options include orange peel, knockdown, and skip trowel patterns.

Your drywall finishing contractor applies primer to seal the surface and ensure uniform paint adhesion. This step prevents joint compound from absorbing paint differently than paper surfaces.



Texture application requires specialized tools and techniques. Professional applicators maintain consistent patterns across entire wall surfaces for uniform appearance.

Specialty Services: Restoration, Renovation, and Refinishing

Metrotown Drywall Burnaby provides comprehensive restoration services for damaged walls and ceilings, professional resurfacing solutions that transform worn surfaces, and precision patching techniques for both minor and extensive repairs.

Drywall Restoration for Damaged Interiors

Water damage, structural settling, and impact damage require specialized restoration techniques. Our restoration process begins with thorough damage assessment to identify moisture penetration and structural integrity issues.

Complete Wall Restoration Services:

• Moisture damage remediation and mold prevention
• Fire damage restoration and smoke residue removal
• Impact damage repair from accidents or renovations
• Structural crack repair and reinforcement

We remove compromised drywall sections entirely when restoration isn't viable. This prevents future problems like mold growth or structural weakness. The restoration process includes installing new vapor barriers and insulation when necessary.

Your restored walls receive the same finishing quality as new construction. We match existing textures and prepare surfaces for paint or wallpaper application.

Drywall Surface Resurfacing and Refinishing

Resurfacing transforms outdated or damaged wall surfaces without complete replacement. This cost-effective solution addresses surface imperfections, outdated textures, and minor damage across large areas.

Resurfacing Applications:

• Removing popcorn and textured ceiling finishes
• Smoothing rough or uneven wall surfaces
• Updating dated wall textures to modern finishes
• Preparing surfaces for new decorative treatments

The refinishing process involves applying new drywall compound over existing surfaces. We sand and smooth all areas to create uniform texture and appearance.

Your refinished walls provide a fresh foundation for painting, wallpaper, or other decorative finishes. This approach saves time and money compared to complete wall replacement.

Drywall Patching and Minor Repairs

Professional patching services address holes, cracks, dents, and surface damage of all sizes. Our patching techniques ensure repairs blend seamlessly with surrounding wall surfaces.

Common Repair Types:

• Nail holes and picture hanging damage
• Doorknob and furniture impact dents
• Plumbing and electrical access holes
• Crack repair from settling or temperature changes

Small repairs use mesh patches and compound application. Larger holes require backing material installation before compound application. We sand all repairs smooth and prime surfaces for optimal paint adhesion.

Your patched areas become invisible once painted. We match existing wall textures precisely to maintain consistent appearance throughout your space.
