Drywall Installation & Finishing in Huntington, WV
When a room needs new board rather than a patch, our installation and finishing crew handles it. We hang new drywall for additions, remodels, and basement finishes, tape and finish board that builders have already hung, repair or replace plaster in Huntington’s older homes, and offer full drywall repair and painting so the room is finished when we leave.
Drywall Installation & Hanging
When the framing is up and the rough-ins are inspected, the room needs board. Drywall Repair Huntington hangs and finishes new drywall for kitchen and bath remodels, additions, attic conversions, garages, and basement finishes across Huntington, Barboursville, and the growing subdivisions in Ona and Hurricane. We work for homeowners directly and as the drywall sub for remodelers who would rather not do it themselves.

Hanging drywall is carpentry. Drywall finishing is the trade. The taping, three coats of compound, feathering, and sanding that turn a room of seams into one flat surface are where most drywall goes wrong, and where Drywall Repair Huntington spends most of its day. We finish board we hung, board the builder hung, and board a homeowner hung on a weekend and then thought better of.

Huntington grew fastest between 1900 and 1950, and the houses from those years, block after block of Southside, Highlawn, Westmoreland, and Guyandotte, have plaster walls and ceilings over wood lath. Plaster is harder, quieter, and better looking than drywall when it is sound, and it fails in ways drywall repair methods cannot fix. Drywall Repair Huntington repairs plaster properly and, when a section is past saving, replaces it with drywall blended so you cannot see where one stops and the other starts.
Learn more →Drywall Repair & Painting
A patch is not done until it is painted, and painting a patch is not done until the sheen and color match the rest of the wall. Drywall Repair Huntington offers drywall repair and painting as one service so you are not hiring a drywall contractor and then a painter, and then explaining to each what the other did. We repair, prime, and paint to the nearest corner or natural break, and we use your existing paint when you have it.
Learn more →Drywall installation contractors for remodels and additions
Searches for "drywall installation contractors" and "drywall installers" are steady across the Huntington market because most remodels end with a room of bare studs. We measure, hang 1/2-inch board on walls and 5/8-inch on ceilings and garages, screw at 12 inches on ceilings and 16 on walls, and stagger joints so seams do not line up. Moisture-resistant board goes in bathrooms and basements. Then we finish it.
Finishing levels, explained plainly
The industry standard (GA-214 from the Gypsum Association) defines finish levels 0 through 5. Level 4 is the normal residential finish: tape, three coats, sanded smooth. Level 5 adds a skim coat over the whole surface and is what you want under gloss paint, in rooms with big windows, or anywhere raking light will show every joint. We quote the level in writing so you know what you are getting.
Plaster homes and the plaster-to-drywall decision
Huntington’s pre-war housing means we see a lot of plaster. Sound plaster with a few cracks should be repaired, not replaced. Plaster that has separated from the lath in sheets is usually better replaced with drywall shimmed flush to the remaining plaster. Our plaster repair page walks through how we decide, and the estimate spells out which approach we are quoting.
Drywall Installation & Finishing: what people ask
Do you hang drywall or only finish it?
Both. We hang and finish complete rooms, and we also tape and finish board that a builder or homeowner has already hung.
What does new drywall cost per square foot in Huntington?
Hung and finished to level 4, roughly $1.75 to $3.50 per square foot in 2026 cost surveys, depending on ceiling height, board type, and finish level. We quote the room, not just the square footage.
