Drywall Installation in East Hampton, NY

New drywall for renovations, additions, and older-home upgrades — hung, taped, mudded, and sanded.

New Drywall for Renovations and Older Homes

A good share of the housing stock on the East End predates 1980, which means a fair number of renovation jobs still turn up original plaster — cracked, bowed, or failing in ways that go past what a patch can fix. When that happens, we strip it back and install new drywall instead of trying to save walls that are past saving.

Installation covers hanging sheets, taping seams, and applying joint compound in multiple coats with drying and sanding time between each — that sequence is what determines whether a wall looks factory-smooth or shows seams once it's painted. We also match existing wall texture on additions and partial-room jobs so new drywall blends into the rest of the house rather than standing out.

Our Process

  • Frame check & measure — confirm framing is square and sound before hanging.
  • Hang — sheets cut and fastened to studs, seams staggered for strength.
  • Tape & mud — joint tape embedded, then two to three coats of compound with drying time between coats.
  • Sand & texture — smoothed and, where needed, textured to match the surrounding walls.
  • Ready for paint — handed off primed and paint-ready, or we can prime and paint it as part of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you convert plaster walls to drywall in older homes?
Yes. A lot of the older housing stock out here still has original plaster, and when it's cracked or failing beyond a reasonable patch, we replace it with drywall and match the surrounding finish.
How long does a full room of drywall take?
It depends on the size and how many coats of joint compound the finish level calls for, but a standard room typically runs a few days once you account for hanging, taping, three coats of mud with drying time between each, and sanding.
What's the difference between drywall installation and drywall repair?
Installation is new drywall — full rooms, additions, or replacing failed plaster. Repair is patching existing drywall: holes, cracks, water damage, or a section that's come loose. We do both — see our drywall repair page for patch jobs.
Can you match wall texture on an addition or repair?
Yes — matching existing texture (smooth, orange peel, knockdown) is part of the finish work so new drywall doesn't stand out against the rest of the room.
