IntraBuild is a local Durham Region crew covering the whole east GTA, so the drywall installation Durham Region homeowners and builders book runs on local scheduling — established homes and new north-end subdivisions in Oshawa and Whitby, lakeside commuter homes and condos in Ajax and Pickering, and fast-growing new builds across Clarington. We hang the board, tape the seams and sand every surface smooth, priced honestly by the square foot.
IntraBuild is a Durham Region drywall installation crew that works right across the east GTA — Durham is large and varied, from the commuter towns of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby and the city of Oshawa to fast-growing Clarington and the rural north. That means a local crew, fast scheduling, one written price with no separate travel fee, and the person who quotes your job is on site doing the work. We handle the drywall that Durham homeowners and builders rely on — established homes and finished basements, new north-end and Seaton subdivisions, and additions out in the country. If you've searched "drywall installation near me" from anywhere in Durham, you've found your local crew. For the full picture of how we work, see our drywall installation services page — this page covers all of Durham Region.
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.
Established homes plus new north-end subdivisions, and lots of finished basements, across Oshawa and Whitby. The drywall installation Oshawa homeowners and builders expect: whole-home board and finish on new detached builds, plus basement and renovation work in the older neighbourhoods, handled by a local crew.
Lakeside commuter homes, condos and new Seaton-area builds throughout Ajax and Pickering. Whole-home board and finish, finished basements and renovations, coordinated with your framer, electrician and painter.
Bowmanville and Courtice hold some of the fastest-growing new subdivisions in the region. New-build main floors and higher ceilings — Level 4 and Level 5 finishes that stay glass-smooth under pot lights and big windows, priced by the square foot.
Country and estate homes up in Uxbridge, Port Perry (Scugog) and Brock. Additions, detached-home board & finish and higher ceilings handled cleanly, with the same per-square-foot pricing as the rest of Durham.
The drywall installation cost across Durham Region 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 Durham Region jobs we price run about $2.00–$5.50 per square foot turnkey. A finished basement in an Oshawa home sits toward the middle of that range across one big, straightforward area; a Level 5 main floor in a Clarington new-build — detail work, higher ceilings, a glass-smooth finish — runs nearer the top. 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. These drywall installation prices are guide ranges — a free written quote sets the exact drywall install cost before any board goes up.
A full price tied to your square footage — and because we're local to Durham, 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 — the whole region. Durham Region runs from the commuter towns of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby and the city of Oshawa through fast-growing Clarington to the rural north, and we install drywall across every one of them. None of these municipalities has its own city page yet, so they're all covered right here on this Durham Region page.
We do — that's a big part of what we cover. New subdivisions in Seaton, north Oshawa and Bowmanville are a large share of the drywall we install across Durham: whole-home board and finish, feature walls and Level 5 skim coats, priced by the square foot and coordinated with your other trades.
Yes — finished basements are one of the most common jobs we do across Durham, especially in the established neighbourhoods of Oshawa and Whitby. Board hung, taped, beaded and sanded to your finish level, with dust kept out of the rest of the home.

We do. Uxbridge, Port Perry (Scugog) and Brock — the country and estate homes in the north of Durham Region — often mean detached homes, additions and higher ceilings. We handle the board and finish on all of it, with one written price and no separate travel fee, the same per-square-foot pricing as anywhere else in Durham.
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.
