Carrollton Drywall Installation, Repair, Finishing & Texture Matching | Residential & Commercial Projects
#1 Drywall Contractor in Carrollton, TX
Carrollton Drywall is a dedicated drywall installation and finishing company serving Carrollton, TX and the northwest Dallas County area, with more than 20 years taping, hanging, and finishing walls across the metroplex. Most of our work falls into two camps: repairing and re-finishing the aging walls in Carrollton's large stock of 1980s and 1990s homes, and hanging-and-finishing new board in the mixed-use construction reshaping the city's transit corridors.
Carrollton is an older, built-out first-ring suburb, not a new-growth boomtown, and that shapes the drywall it needs. With a median home built around 1988 and roughly 54,000 housing units across its 36 square miles, the city is dominated by settled neighborhoods where walls have spent three to four decades flexing on North Texas clay. We back every project with fixed-price quotes, HEPA dust-controlled installation, and a written workmanship warranty, so whether you are updating a 1990s home off Josey Lane or a builder finishing units near Trinity Mills Station, you have what you need to decide with confidence.
Why Carrollton Homeowners, Builders, and Businesses Choose Us:
- Built for Carrollton's Older Homes on Clay – We know the recurring cracks, nail pops, and lifted seams that decades of soil movement drive into 1980s and 1990s walls, and we repair the seam and fastener so the fix actually lasts.
- Aged-Texture Matching That Disappears – Seamless matching of weathered orange peel, knockdown, and hand textures on Carrollton's established homes, so a repair blends into a thirty-year-old wall instead of standing out as a fresh patch.
- New-Construction & Multifamily Finishing – Level 5 smooth-wall finishing, metal-stud framing, and fire-rated assemblies for the mixed-use and multifamily construction around Trinity Mills Station and Downtown Carrollton.
- Residential & Commercial Drywall Specialists – From a single patched ceiling to office, retail, and tenant buildouts along the I-35E and PGBT corridors, we handle Carrollton projects of any size.
- Straightforward Pricing and a Local Crew – Clear written estimates, quality board, and a team you reach directly here in the metroplex rather than a distant call center.

Our Residential Drywall Services
Drywall Installation
Drywall installation builds the smooth, durable walls and ceilings behind every remodel, addition, garage conversion, and finished-out room. In a built-out city like Carrollton, much of this is remodel and addition work on existing homes rather than ground-up construction, and getting panel layout and fastening right is what keeps a new wall flush with the older ones around it.
Drywall Repair
Drywall repair handles the holes, cracks, dents, and everyday wear that make a room look tired. Because so much Carrollton cracking starts with foundation movement in aging homes, we work the seam and fastener rather than just the surface, and most repairs are finished in a single visit.
Water Damage Drywall Repair
Water-damaged board loses strength quickly and can grow mold if it sits, a real risk in older homes where roofs, water heaters, and supply lines are reaching the end of their service life. We cut out the compromised drywall, dry the cavity completely, replace the board, and refinish so the wall reads as untouched.
Ceiling Repair
Ceiling repair takes on cracks, brown water stains, sagging spans, and nail pops overhead. Ceilings often register clay-driven movement before the walls do, and catching a seam early keeps it from running the length of the room.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Popcorn ceiling removal is one of the most-requested updates in Carrollton, where so many homes still carry the textured ceilings standard in 1980s and 1990s construction. Removing it brightens a room instantly and is a common first move before repainting or selling.
Drywall Texture Matching & Repair
A patch should disappear, not advertise itself. We match orange peel, knockdown, popcorn, and hand-troweled textures so repairs blend into the surrounding surface, which matters most on Carrollton's older homes where the original texture has weathered into a character all its own.
Our Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial Drywall Installation
Commercial drywall installation delivers complete wall and ceiling systems for offices, retail, medical suites, restaurants, and the warehouse and flex space that Carrollton's position on I-35E and the President George Bush Turnpike keeps drawing in. These jobs reach tens of thousands of square feet and call for tight coordination with architects, general contractors, and the other trades on site.
Tenant Improvement Drywall
Tenant improvement drywall supports office buildouts, retail turnover, and restaurant remodels as commercial spaces change hands. With Carrollton's established business base and the new retail and office space opening around the transit district, reconfiguring leased space is steady, recurring interior work.
Metal Stud Framing & Drywall
Metal stud framing and drywall create the interior structure for commercial walls, conference rooms, and tenant spaces. Steel framing is the commercial standard because it is non-combustible, dimensionally stable, and immune to warping and termite damage.
Commercial Drywall Repair
Commercial drywall repair addresses damage from tenant turnover, water intrusion, daily operations, and renovation. We work to minimize disruption so a business keeps a clean, professional face to its customers and tenants.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation
Fire-rated drywall systems slow the spread of fire and heat between building areas, buying time for evacuation and response. The multifamily and mixed-use construction in Carrollton's transit district leans heavily on rated assemblies between units, and many commercial buildings require one-hour, two-hour, or higher-rated walls to satisfy local code.
Acoustic & Soundproof Drywall Systems
Acoustic drywall reduces sound transmission between offices, medical rooms, and the stacked multifamily units now common in Carrollton's denser developments. Well-designed sound-control assemblies improve speech privacy and comfort in noise-sensitive workplaces and residences.
What Makes Carrollton Drywall Great?
Our Drywall Process
Step 1: Free On-Site Drywall Estimate and Project Assessment
We start with a free, on-site walkthrough, measuring square footage and inspecting framing and existing walls for the issues common to Carrollton homes: recurring corner cracks, lifted seams, sagging ceilings, and nail pops tied to decades of soil movement. You get a clear written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Material Selection and Drywall Delivery
We match the board to the job, from standard gypsum to moisture-resistant board for bathrooms and laundry rooms, fire-rated drywall for garages and shared walls, and soundproof board for media rooms. After decades supplying local remodels and new builds, we know what holds up here, and we deliver and stage materials on schedule.
Step 3: Drywall Hanging and Installation
Our crew measures, cuts, and secures each panel to the framing with properly spaced screws. Smart panel layout reduces seam visibility and produces the stronger surface that walls on expansive clay need. Ceilings get extra care, because correct fastening overhead is what prevents the sagging we are so often called to repair in older homes.
Step 4: Drywall Taping, Mudding, and Finishing
We tape every seam, embed it in a clean bedding coat of joint compound, and build filling and finish coats across all flats, butts, and angles. Corner bead goes on every outside corner for crisp, impact-resistant edges. We finish to the level your space needs, from Level 4 for painted rooms to a Level 5 skim coat for demanding lighting.
Step 4: Drywall Sanding, Texturing, and Paint-Ready Prep
Once the compound dries, we sand every surface smooth and match or apply your texture, whether orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth Level 5. The result is a seamless, paint-ready surface, and for older homes this is also when popcorn-ceiling and texture removal happen.
Step 4: Final Walkthrough, Cleanup, and Workmanship Warranty
We close with a final inspection alongside you, clean the work area, and haul off all debris. Before we leave, we walk you through the finished work and back it with our workmanship warranty, because after 20-plus years serving Carrollton, our reputation rides on getting it right.
How Much Does Drywall Installation Cost in Denton, TX?
Drywall installation in Carrollton runs about $1.80 to $2.90 per square foot for a complete hang-tape-and-finish job in the Dallas–Fort Worth market, with most projects landing in the middle of that range. For a standard 2,000-square-foot home interior, that puts a typical installation in roughly the $5,000 to $9,000 range before specialty board or premium finishes.
Because Carrollton skews toward older homes and remodels rather than new builds, a lot of local work is repair and patch pricing rather than full installs. Three things move a Carrollton quote more than anything else:
- Scope and access – Patching cracks and water damage in a furnished, occupied home requires more masking, dust containment, and protection of adjacent rooms than open new construction, which adds setup time.
- Finish level – A Level 4 finish is standard for most painted rooms, but remodeled great rooms and newer multifamily interiors usually call for a Level 5 skim coat, which adds roughly 25% to 50% to the finishing cost because the whole surface gets coated, not just the seams and screws.
- Texture matching – Replicating the weathered orange peel or knockdown on a thirty-year-old Carrollton wall is skilled, time-intensive work, and seamless matching adds labor compared with a plain flat patch.
Labor makes up the majority of any drywall cost — generally 50% to 70% of the total — with materials accounting for the rest. Because the clay under Carrollton keeps older homes moving, we would rather spend the labor doing the seam placement and fastening right the first time than come back to chase the same crack later, and that quality-first approach is built into our pricing.

Testimonials
"Our 90s house off Josey had cracks reopening over the same two doorways every single summer. They actually fixed the seams instead of just floating mud over them, matched our knockdown texture so I can't find the patch, and a year later they're still flat. Clean, honest crew."
David S.
Homeowner, Carrollton, TX
"We took the popcorn off the ceilings in every bedroom and re-textured before listing. The house looked ten years newer and showed beautifully. They masked everything off and the dust was way less than I expected for that kind of job."
John V.
Homeowner, Collin County
"I needed a back office and storeroom framed and boarded out in a leased retail space near the Bush Turnpike without closing down. They did the metal-stud framing and drywall over a couple of evenings and it passed inspection the first time. You'd never know there'd been a crew in there."

Residential and Commercial Drywall FAQs
Most repeat cracking here comes back to the expansive clay under the city combined with the age of the housing. The clay swells in wet weather and shrinks in drought, and after thirty-plus years that movement shows up as diagonal cracks at the same door and window corners and as nail pops. We repair the seam and fastener correctly, and we will tell you when ongoing movement is worth a structural engineer's look.
Yes. Texture matching on Carrollton's older homes is a large part of our work. The original orange peel, knockdown, and hand textures from that era have aged and yellowed, so we match both the pattern and the sheen to make a repair read as part of the original wall instead of a fresh patch.
We do, and it is one of our most-requested services in Carrollton given how many homes still have textured ceilings from the 1980s and 1990s. We contain the dust, scrape and smooth the ceiling, and re-texture or finish it to the level you want before paint.
Yes. We handle new-construction hanging, metal-stud framing, fire-rated assemblies between units, and Level 5 finishing, and we coordinate with the builders and general contractors active in the transit-district and downtown infill projects to stay on the construction schedule.
Most single-room repairs finish in one visit. Joint-compound drying and texture matching can add time on bigger jobs, and water-damage repairs depend on how long the cavity needs to dry before we seal it back up.
Yes. We do commercial installation, tenant-improvement buildouts, metal-stud framing, fire-rated assemblies, and acoustic systems for offices, retail, medical space, and the flex and warehouse buildings along the I-35E and President George Bush Turnpike corridors.
Yes. We are a fully insured, locally based drywall contractor serving Carrollton and the surrounding Dallas and Denton County communities, and we stand behind our work with a written workmanship warranty.
