Updated October 25, 2026Drywall is the surface everyone ends up looking at — and poor taping shows through paint for the life of the wall. Jopie Construction Group installs and finishes drywall properly: board hung tight and fastened right, then taped, mudded and sanded smooth. We work on homes, offices and industrial spaces across Hamilton, Halton, Peel and Niagara.

What determines the cost of drywall and taping in Hamilton?
Drywall pricing looks simple until you compare quotes. These are the variables behind the difference:
Square footage and sheet count
Board, screws, tape and compound scale with area. Stairwells and angled walls add cutting time.
Ceiling height
Ceilings above 9 feet need staging or lifts and slow every coat.
Finish level
Level 4 is standard under flat paint. Level 5 (skim coat) is for gloss paint, raking light and feature walls, and costs more.
Board type
Moisture-resistant, fire-rated (Type X) and sound-control boards cost more and are code requirements in some locations.
Existing surface
Popcorn or textured ceilings in pre-1990 homes need an asbestos test before scraping. Plaster-and-lath needs different prep.
Access and phasing
Occupied homes, stairs and furniture protection add time versus an empty basement.
How we work
Walkthrough & quote
We measure the space, talk through the finish level you want, and give you a clear written quote.
Hang & fasten
Board is cut, fitted and fastened properly so nothing sags or pops down the road.
Tape, mud & sand
Multiple coats and careful sanding for a smooth, even, paint-ready surface.
Clean-up & hand-off
We vacuum the dust, bag the offcuts, and leave it ready for primer.
When a drywall job is really a bigger project
Many calls that start as a drywall patch turn out to be water damage, a basement that needs framing first, or a kitchen that needs opening up. Because we frame, hang, tape, tile and paint, we can quote the whole sequence once and keep one crew on it. Start with basement finishing, renovations or framing if that sounds like your job.

We treat the finishing as the main event, not an afterthought. A flat, well-sanded surface is what makes paint look right under every light — so that's where we put the care.
Questions homeowners and owners ask
How much does drywall installation and taping cost in Hamilton?
Price depends on four variables:
- Square footage and sheet count.
- Ceiling height and access.
- Finish level (Level 4 or Level 5).
- Existing surface condition (texture, plaster, moisture).
We give a free written quote after a walkthrough. Call (437) 332-3023.
Do you do both hanging and taping?
Yes. One crew supplies and hangs board, then tapes, mud-coats and sands to a paint-ready finish.
Can you remove popcorn ceilings in an older Hamilton home?
Yes, with a precaution. Popcorn and textured ceilings in homes built before about 1990 can contain asbestos. Have a sample tested by an accredited lab before scraping. If it is positive, removal needs proper containment and disposal. We will tell you at the walkthrough.
How long does it take to drywall a basement?
Hang-and-finish for a typical basement runs about one to two weeks, driven by the number of mud coats and drying time. Larger or higher-finish jobs take longer.
Can you patch a small hole or water-damaged section?
Yes. For water damage, we first confirm the source is fixed and the area is dry, then cut back to sound board and refinish so the patch disappears.
