We at Texora Painting & Drywall do drywall installation in Port Moody, BC (V3H): basement suites, Heritage Mountain renovations and new rooms. We supply, hang, tape and sand to a Level 4 finish, with moisture-resistant board below grade, and can paint it after. 5.0 on Google from 50 reviews, with a 1, 2 or 3-year workmanship warranty.
Port Moody drywall jobs range from a legal basement suite in a Glenayre split-level to a bonus room in a Heritage Mountain home or a gut renovation of a craftsman house in Pleasantside. Under the large windows of Port Moody's Westcoast Modern homes, uneven boards and poorly taped joints show through paint. Our painters in Port Moody page lists the rest of the work we do in town.
Level 4 is our standard on painted walls, and a Level 5 skim coat is available for very flat sheens or strong light. Below-grade spaces, bathrooms and laundry areas get moisture-resistant green or purple board, since below-grade moisture is a known issue in Port Moody near the water table and hillside drainage paths.
We supply, hang, tape, mud and sand, and hand back walls primed for your painter, or paint them ourselves under one contract with one crew.
In Port Moody's below-grade spaces we always specify moisture-resistant drywall, never standard board. Given the local water table levels and above-average rainfall, standard drywall in a basement is likely to grow mould and deteriorate.
We're rated 5.0 on Google from 50 reviews. The ones on this page are copied word for word.

“Nice to dealwith”
“Great company to deal with. Professional, detail-oriented and friendly. Came back for minor touch ups when asked without issue. Definitely recommend this company.”
“Excellent work. Personable and professional. I am very pleased and recommend their work,”
“Great friendly people easy to work with, I am very pleased with the patch and paint job the did to my bathroom. Looks fresh! Thank you! I will look to them for future projects.”
We measure the space, confirm board type (standard, moisture-resistant, or fire-rated), assess ceiling height and complexity, and provide a fixed written quote covering supply, hang, and finish.
We supply and hang drywall panels efficiently, cutting around openings and electrical boxes cleanly, and fastening to code with the correct screw pattern and spacing throughout.
All joints are taped with fibreglass mesh and coated with three coats of joint compound, each allowed to cure fully before sanding, delivering a flat Level 4 finish.
The finished walls are ready for primer and paint. We can prime and paint as part of the same project, or hand off to your own painter.
Interior paintwork

A full room of drywall means more cutting, sanding and dust than a patch, so ask how the work area gets sealed off and how flooring and stairs on the path to the room are protected.
A full room has closet returns, bulkheads, window returns and corners everywhere, and each needs a straight, tight corner bead before mud goes on. A bead slightly out of true shows through the finish when light crosses the wall.
Three coats of compound go over every seam, each cured before the next, because compound that looks dry can still be wet underneath. Sanding or painting too early can leave cracking or a soft spot that shows months later.
Hanging board and running a screw gun for a full room is noisy work that goes on for days, not hours, longer than most people expect coming from a single-patch repair. If you're in a Port Moody strata building, check your bylaws for approved renovation hours before booking an install, and give your property manager the scope of the work ahead of time so there's no surprise partway through.
A patch rather than a full room is drywall repair, and painting the finished walls is interior painting; both have their own Port Moody pages. Drywall taping and finishing covers how a wall goes from hung board to paint-ready, and matching a new wall's texture to the next room is on our wall texture matching page.
| Area | Board | Taping and finish | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basement suites, bathrooms and laundry areas | Moisture-resistant green or purple board, never standard board | Fibreglass mesh on all joints, three coats of joint compound each cured fully before sanding, Level 4 | Below-grade moisture is a known issue in Port Moody near the water table and hillside drainage paths; standard drywall in a basement is likely to grow mould and deteriorate |
| Painted walls in normal light | Standard, or fire-rated where required | Level 4 | Level 4 is our standard on painted walls |
| Walls under large windows or in strong light | Standard | Level 5 skim coat | Under the large windows of Port Moody's Westcoast Modern homes, uneven boards and poorly taped joints show through paint; Level 5 is for very flat sheens or strong light |
| Corners, closet returns, bulkheads and window returns | The same board as the room | A straight, tight corner bead before mud goes on | A bead slightly out of true shows through the finish when light crosses the wall |
Once the drywall is finished, we paint the walls, ceilings and trim.
