IntraBuild is a local Peterborough County crew covering the Otonabee River city of Peterborough — home to Trent University, Fleming College and the Lift Lock — the lakeside villages of Lakefield and Selwyn, the Kawartha cottage country of Buckhorn, Stoney Lake and Apsley, and the heritage villages and rural towns of Millbrook, Norwood and Havelock, so the peterborough county drywall installation homeowners and builders book runs on local scheduling — heritage century-brick homes and finished basements in Peterborough, student rentals near Trent University, and four-season cottages and custom waterfront homes across the Kawarthas. We hang the board, tape the seams and sand every surface smooth, priced honestly by the square foot.
IntraBuild is a Peterborough County drywall installation crew that works right across the county — Peterborough County is the Kawarthas, running from the Otonabee River city of Peterborough north into the Kawartha lakes and cottage country, well away from the GTA. It starts in the city of Peterborough itself, home to Trent University and Fleming College, the famous Peterborough Lift Lock on the Trent–Severn Waterway, established century-brick homes, a downtown and hospital, student rentals and no shortage of finished basements, then runs north to the lakeside villages of Lakefield and Selwyn — Bridgenorth and Ennismore — on Chemong and Katchewanooka lakes, out into the Kawartha cottage country of Buckhorn, Stoney Lake and Apsley across Trent Lakes and North Kawartha, and south and east to the heritage villages of Millbrook and Cavan and the rural towns of Norwood and Havelock. From a Peterborough basement to a Stoney Lake cottage great room, that means a full crew, fast scheduling, one written price — and no separate travel fee — with the person who quotes your job on site doing the work. We handle the finished basements, feature walls and ceilings, whole-home new builds, Trent-area student rentals and cottage additions that Peterborough, Lakefield and Kawartha homeowners and builders rely on right across Peterborough County. If you've searched "drywall installation near me" from anywhere in Peterborough, Lakefield or the Kawarthas, you've found your crew. For the full picture of how we work, see our drywall installation services page — this page covers all of Peterborough County.
Sheets set plumb and tight on walls and ceilings, joints staggered, cut cleanly around outlets, windows and light boxes.
Mesh or paper tape over every seam, with corner bead installation on each outside corner — metal or paper-faced bead so edges stay crisp and crack-free.
Fasteners set just below the surface in a staggered pattern — about 28–32 per sheet — then spotted so nothing shows through paint.
Three coats of compound minimum, feathered wide, then sanded and dust-controlled to Level 3, 4 or 5.
The hub the whole county revolves around — the city of Peterborough on the Otonabee River, home to Trent University and Fleming College, the famous Peterborough Lift Lock on the Trent–Severn Waterway, established century-brick homes on the old streets, a busy downtown and hospital, and growing subdivisions on the edges where student rentals and a growing commuter population mean no shortage of finished lower levels. The drywall installation Peterborough homeowners ask for most is basement drywall installation Peterborough families book by the room: framed basements boarded, the drywall installation and taping done clean, moisture-aware board near baths and laundry, and a smooth finish under pot lights — all handled by a local crew.
Just north of the city, the village of Lakefield and the township of Selwyn — Bridgenorth and Ennismore — sit on Chemong and Katchewanooka lakes, home to Lakefield College School, waterfront and cottage homes and established village streets. Waterfront additions and renovations, whole-home drywall on new builds boarded, taped and sanded to your finish level, and finished basements — all on the same written per-square-foot price with no separate travel fee.
The Kawartha lakes — Buckhorn, Stoney Lake, Clear Lake and Chemong — across Trent Lakes and North Kawartha up to Apsley. Cottages, waterfront homes and custom builds here often mean high, vaulted and cathedral ceilings and great rooms, boarded plumb, taped and skimmed to a Level 5 where raking light off the water shows every seam. New builds and additions are handled cleanly, taped and sanded to your level with dust kept out of the rest of the home — all on the same per-square-foot pricing.
The heritage village of Millbrook and Cavan Monaghan south of the city, and the small towns of Norwood, Havelock and Douro-Dummer to the east — Asphodel-Norwood and Havelock-Belmont-Methuen — family homes, farms and country builds across the rural edges of the county. Detached-home board & finish, higher rural and cathedral ceilings and new builds handled cleanly, taped and sanded to your level with dust kept out of the rest of the home.
The drywall installation cost across Peterborough County comes down to area, so we quote by the square foot rather than a flat guess — board supplied and finished, with one written price and no separate travel fee. As a rough guide, the drywall installation Peterborough County jobs we price run about $2.00–$5.50 per square foot turnkey. A Stoney Lake cottage great room finished to a Level 5 skim under a vaulted ceiling and raking light runs nearer the top; a straightforward Peterborough finished basement across standard rooms sits lower in the range. Pick a finish level below; a fuller cost breakdown sits further down, and the full method behind these numbers lives on our drywall installation services page.
| A single room (12×12-ish) | $1,500–2,500 |
|---|---|
| One- or two-car garage (Level 3) | $1,500–3,000 |
| A full basement | $6,000–12,000+ |
| A whole floor / new build | scales up |
The turnkey rate is the whole job — board delivered and hung, taped, beaded, screws spotted, three coats, sanded to your level, daily cleanup. Prefer to buy your own board? A labour-only rate starts around $1.50/sq ft. Per sheet, figure $30–70 to hang and finish a 4×8.

A full price tied to your square footage — and wherever your job sits in Peterborough County, from Peterborough to the Kawarthas, the drywall we install carries one written price with no separate travel fee tacked on after.
Poly barriers and vacuum-assisted sanding keep drywall dust out of the rest of the home.
Hang, tape, coat and sand days planned up front and coordinated with your other trades, and with your building's elevator and loading times.
Liability coverage before we start, and a sound, level surface your painter can walk straight onto.
Each stage has to be right before the next begins — and the mud coats need drying time between them, which is why good drywall can't be rushed. Ceilings go first: a drywall ceiling installation is boarded before the walls, so the wall sheets tuck up under it and support its edges. On residential walls the sheets usually run horizontally, though hanging drywall vertically suits some taller commercial walls — either way the aim is fewer, cleaner joints to finish.
Yes — right across the county. That takes in the city of Peterborough on the Otonabee, the lakeside villages of Lakefield and Selwyn (Bridgenorth and Ennismore), the Kawartha cottage country of Buckhorn, Stoney Lake and Apsley, and the heritage villages and rural towns of Millbrook, Cavan, Norwood and Havelock. None of these towns has its own city page yet, so they're all covered right here on this Peterborough County page.
Yes — the Kawartha lakes and their four-season cottages are a big part of what we cover. Cottages, waterfront homes and custom builds around Buckhorn, Stoney Lake, Clear Lake and Chemong often mean high, vaulted and cathedral ceilings and great rooms: boarded plumb, feature walls and great rooms skimmed to a Level 5 where raking light off the water shows every flaw, then taped and sanded to your finish level. Sloped and cathedral ceilings are handled cleanly with dust kept out of the rest of the home.
We do — finished lower levels and student-rental turnovers are a big part of what we install here.

That basement drywall installation Peterborough families ask for is priced by the square foot, with the full basement usually landing around $6,000–12,000+ turnkey — and we handle quick rental turnovers near Trent University and Fleming College between terms.
Turnkey, figure about $2.00–2.75 per sq ft for Level 3, $2.75–4.00 for Level 4 and $4.00–5.50 for a Level 5 skim; a full basement usually lands around $6,000–12,000+.

Ceilings first. It lets the wall sheets butt up tight underneath and support the ceiling edges, for cleaner, stronger joints.
How many screws per sheet of drywall? On a 4×8 wall, roughly 28–32, and more on ceilings — staggered and set just below the surface so the board holds flat without breaking the paper.
