Drywall Installation for Port Coquitlam Renovations & Developments

Port Coquitlam's family homes are some of the most heavily renovated in the Tri-Cities area. With large lots, split-level and two-storey layouts, and unfinished basements that represent thousands of square feet of untapped living space, PoCo homeowners are constantly developing, expanding, and updating. Drywall installation is at the centre of nearly every one of these projects — and getting it done right the first time is what separates a renovation that looks polished and professional from one that looks like a DIY project.

We work on all types of drywall installation projects in Port Coquitlam: full basement developments where the entire below-grade level is being converted to livable space, individual room additions where a garage or bonus room is being enclosed, feature walls and entertainment niches in main-floor renovations, and ceiling replacements where outdated popcorn or damaged drywall needs to be removed and replaced. Each scenario has its own board requirements, finishing demands, and code considerations — moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and laundry rooms, fire-rated Type X in utility and furnace rooms, standard board everywhere else.

Our drywall installation pricing in Port Coquitlam runs $800–$2,500 per room, which includes hanging, taping, mudding in multiple coats, corner bead, sanding, and a prime-coat-ready Level 4 finish. If you want Level 5 (full skim coat) for a perfectly smooth wall under flat paint or wallpaper, we offer that as an upgrade. We can also paint the completed walls and ceilings as part of the same project — one crew, zero scheduling headaches.

Our Drywall Installation Process

1

Site Visit & Quote

We assess the framing, measure the space, identify board type requirements, and provide a written quote covering all labour and materials for your PoCo project.

2

Board Selection & Hanging

Right board for every location — moisture-resistant, fire-rated, or standard — cut precisely and screwed firmly to studs or ceiling joists at the correct spacing.

3

Tape, Mud & Sand

All joints and screw holes taped and mudded in three coats with full drying and sanding between each. Corner bead installed and finished on all outside corners.

4

Level 4 Finish & Prime

Final sand to a Level 4 (or Level 5 on request) standard. Primer coat applied — walls are ready for your paint colour the day we complete the job.

Why Port Coquitlam Homeowners Choose Texora for Drywall

Basement Development Experience

Finishing a basement in Port Coquitlam is one of our most requested projects. We understand the code requirements, moisture management needs, and efficient workflow that turns an unfinished PoCo basement into a clean, fully livable space on time and on budget.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Many 1980s PoCo homes still have acoustic popcorn ceilings that homeowners want gone. We remove them, skim coat the drywall to a smooth finish, and leave ceilings looking completely contemporary — all tested for asbestos before any removal work begins.

Install and Paint — Same Crew

Coordinating multiple trades for a renovation is stressful. We install the drywall and paint it as one seamless project — same crew, consistent quality, single point of contact. No waiting weeks between trades for your basement or addition to come together.

Dust-Controlled Process

Drywall sanding in a lived-in PoCo home requires dust management. We seal off work areas with plastic, use dust-collection sanders where possible, and perform a thorough cleanup after each session so the rest of your home stays livable throughout the project.

"They drywalled our entire basement and then painted it — the whole thing came together in just over a week. Smooth walls, clean paint, no mess left behind."
— David & Michelle C., Port Coquitlam ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently Asked Questions — Drywall Installation in Port Coquitlam

Drywall installation in Port Coquitlam typically runs $800–$2,500 per room depending on size, ceiling height, and whether the project involves a standard basement development, a bedroom addition, or a more complex layout with soffits, bulkheads, or angled ceilings. We provide a free written quote after visiting your home and reviewing the scope.

A typical PoCo basement development involves framing the perimeter walls, installing insulation, then hanging drywall on all walls and the underside of the floor joists above. We use moisture-resistant board near any concrete walls or floors, standard board elsewhere, and fire-rated board in the utility room where required by code. After hanging, we tape, mud, sand, and prime to a paint-ready Level 4 finish.

Yes — popcorn (acoustic) ceilings are common in older PoCo homes and many homeowners want them gone. We can remove the textured ceiling material, skim coat the drywall below to a smooth Level 5 finish, and leave the ceiling ready for a clean painted look. Note: we do test for asbestos in popcorn ceilings pre-1990 before any removal work.

Absolutely. Feature walls, fireplace surrounds, built-in entertainment niches, and coffered ceiling details are all projects we handle in PoCo homes. These require precise cuts, careful measurement, and sometimes fire-code-compliant board selection (Type X) — we ensure everything meets BC Building Code requirements.
