Professional drywall installation in Toronto. Residential and commercial drywall hanging and finishing.
Looking for a reliable drywall contractor in Toronto? Konstruction Group provides professional drywall installation, taping, and finishing services for new construction and renovations throughout the GTA. Whether you're a general contractor needing a dependable drywall sub for your multiplex projects or a homeowner managing your own basement renovation, we deliver quality work from board installation through Level 4 finish - walls ready for your painter. With hundreds of projects completed across Toronto, we understand the specific requirements for multi-unit residential buildings, fire-rated assemblies, and renovation challenges.


Beyond traditional drywall ceilings, we install T-bar suspended ceiling systems for commercial spaces, basements, and areas requiring easy access to mechanical systems above. Suspended ceiling installation includes the metal grid framework and acoustic ceiling tiles. Drop ceilings are popular for basement finishing where you want to conceal ductwork and plumbing while maintaining access for future repairs. We handle both 2x2 and 2x4 tile configurations with various acoustic and aesthetic options.
If you're a GC building multiplexes, custom homes, or managing large renovations, we can be your reliable drywall subcontractor. We understand the coordination required on active job sites - showing up when promised, working efficiently around other trades, and maintaining quality across every unit. Many builders use us for their complete framing-insulation-drywall package, keeping one experienced crew on site from rough framing through paint-ready walls. We carry $10M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage, handle fire-rated assembly documentation for inspections, and communicate proactively about scheduling.
Managing your own renovation project? Many Toronto homeowners handle their own basement finishes, room additions, or full-home renovations with permits in hand. If you've got the framing done and inspections passed, we can take over for drywall - the trade that transforms studs into finished rooms. We work directly with homeowner-builders regularly, explaining the process, coordinating with your other trades, and delivering the same professional finish we provide to large builders. No job is too small if you're serious about quality.
Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes have specific drywall requirements that differ from single-family homes. Party walls between dwelling units require fire-rated Type X drywall assemblies to meet Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements. We install the correct drywall types and layer configurations to achieve required fire ratings - typically 1-hour or 2-hour rated assemblies depending on building height and construction type. Our crews are experienced with the documentation and inspection requirements for multi-unit buildings.
We provide Level 4 finish as our standard for all living spaces - this includes tape embedded in joint compound at all joints and corners, plus three coats of compound with proper sanding between coats. Level 4 is appropriate for 95% of residential applications with flat or eggshell paint finishes. For high-end homes with gloss paint or specialty finishes where imperfections would show, we offer Level 5 skim coat finishing. Garages and utility areas receive Level 2 finish unless specified otherwise.
Ontario Building Code requires fire-rated separations between dwelling units in multiplexes. These party walls typically require double layers of 5/8" Type X drywall on each side of the wall cavity to achieve required fire ratings. We install fire-rated assemblies that match the tested UL designs specified by your engineer, ensuring the complete wall system passes inspection. Proper installation is critical - gaps, unsealed penetrations, or incorrect fastener patterns can void the fire rating.

We verify framing is complete, insulation inspection passed, and all rough-ins (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are done before starting. We check for proper blocking and vapor barriers.
Typical timeline: 1-2 hoursDrywall boards delivered and distributed throughout the building. We plan board layout to minimize waste and avoid joints in problem areas.
Typical timeline: 1 dayDrywall installed on all walls and ceilings with proper fastening patterns. Fire-rated assemblies receive multiple layers with staggered joints. Corner beads installed.
Typical timeline: 3-7 daysAll joints taped and embedded in first coat of joint compound. Screws covered. This coat fills gaps and creates the foundation for smooth finishing.
Typical timeline: 1-2 daysAdditional coats of compound applied with wider knives, creating smooth transitions. Sanding between coats. Each coat requires 24 hours drying time.
Typical timeline: 4-6 daysQuality inspection of all surfaces under work lights. Touch-ups completed. Walls sanded smooth and ready for primer and paint.
Typical timeline: 1 dayDrywall installation in Toronto typically costs $4-$8 per square foot for materials, installation, taping, and Level 4 finish. A typical 2,000 sq ft home runs $25,000-$40,000 for complete drywall. Basement finishing typically costs $5,000-$15,000 depending on size. Fire-rated assemblies for multiplexes cost 20-30% more due to multiple drywall layers. We provide detailed quotes after measuring your specific project.
A typical custom home takes 2-3 weeks for complete drywall - about 1 week for board installation and 1-2 weeks for taping and finishing (drying time between coats is required). A basement takes 1-2 weeks. Multiplexes take longer due to fire-rated assemblies. Weather affects drying time - winter projects with poor heating take longer.
Level 4 is the standard finish for most residential living spaces. It includes tape embedded in joint compound at all joints and corners, plus three coats of compound with sanding between coats. Level 4 provides a smooth surface suitable for flat, eggshell, or satin paint. Level 5 adds a skim coat over the entire surface and is only needed for gloss paint or critical lighting conditions.
Type X is 5/8" thick gypsum board with glass fiber additives that provide enhanced fire resistance. A single layer provides 45-60 minutes of fire protection. Type X is required for fire-rated assemblies in multiplexes - party walls between dwelling units typically need double layers on each side to achieve 1-hour or 2-hour ratings required by Ontario Building Code.
We handle drywall-only projects for renovations, basement finishes, and situations where framing is already complete. However, our specialty is the complete framing-insulation-drywall package for new construction and major renovations. This integrated approach ensures proper coordination - for example, we install blocking for fixtures during framing rather than discovering it's missing during drywall.
Yes, matching existing textures is common in renovation work. We can replicate orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and other common textures found in Toronto homes. For smooth walls, blending new drywall with old requires careful feathering. In some cases, skim coating the entire wall provides the best result for renovations.
Green board (moisture-resistant drywall) is suitable for bathrooms and kitchens where humidity is present but direct water contact is limited. Cement board (like Durock or Hardiebacker) is required behind tile in showers, tub surrounds, and other wet areas with direct water exposure. Building code specifies which to use where.
Drywall installation itself doesn't require a separate permit, but it's typically part of a larger project (renovation, basement finish, new construction) that does require permits. Your building permit covers drywall, and we coordinate with inspectors for fire-rated assemblies. Insulation must be inspected before drywall goes up.
