Absolutely. Our experienced finishers are skilled at matching existing wall and ceiling textures including orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, smooth finish, and popcorn textures. We take great care to blend repair areas seamlessly with the surrounding surfaces so that the finished result is virtually invisible.

Yes. We are experienced in constructing fire-rated wall and ceiling assemblies as well as sound-rated (STC) partitions. These specialized assemblies are common in multi-family residential buildings, commercial spaces, and certain areas of single-family homes. We install the appropriate framing configurations, insulation, and drywall layers required to meet the specified ratings and pass inspection.

Drywall installation costs vary depending on the scope of work, the type of drywall being used (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated, soundboard), the level of finish required, ceiling heights, and site accessibility. Rather than quoting a generic per-square-foot rate, we provide a detailed written estimate after assessing your specific project. This ensures you get an accurate price based on the actual work involved, not a rough guess.

Yes. We provide free on-site estimates for drywall and framing projects throughout the Los Angeles metro area. One of our project leads will visit your location, review the scope of work, take measurements, and provide a detailed written estimate that covers materials, labor, and a projected timeline. There is no obligation and no pressure.

No. Transparency is a core principle at Los Angeles Drywall & Framing. Our written estimates clearly outline every line item. If the scope of work changes during the project due to unforeseen conditions or client requests, we discuss the impact on cost and timeline with you before proceeding. You will never receive a surprise bill from us.

Project timelines depend on the size and complexity of the work. A standard room addition framing job might take a few days, while a full-home drywall installation with Level 5 finishing could take one to two weeks. Larger commercial projects can run several weeks or more. During our estimate process, we provide a clear projected timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

Our scheduling depends on current project volume, but we typically can begin new projects within one to two weeks of a signed agreement. For urgent jobs or time-sensitive commercial work, we can often accommodate faster start dates. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we will do our best to work within your schedule.

Our standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and we are also open on Sundays. For commercial projects with specific scheduling requirements such as after-hours or weekend work, we can arrange accommodations. Please discuss your scheduling needs during the consultation and we will provide options.
