Board a CityPlace condo, re-wall a Riverdale semi, finish a Scarborough basement — IntraBuild handles drywall installation Toronto-wide, building paperwork included. We hang and tape the sheets, then sand to the level you choose, the whole job priced per square foot in a written quote.
Toronto drywall installation is building-by-building work, and IntraBuild knows the buildings — the CityPlace tower with its elevator bookings and insurance paperwork, the Annex semi where century plaster is coming down, the Scarborough basement getting board for the first time. Our crew hangs the sheets (drywall, sheetrock, wallboard — same material), tapes and coats each seam, then sands to the level the room calls for. Searching "drywall installation near me" from a Toronto address lands exactly here. How we quote and build is laid out on our drywall installation services page — below is the Toronto-only part: condo approvals, downtown access and what to do about old plaster.
Every sheet plumb, joints staggered so they never stack, with tight cutouts at pot lights, switches and window returns instead of oversized holes.
Paper or mesh tape over each seam, metal or paper-faced bead on every outside corner — what keeps a hallway edge crisp through years of moving days.
Roughly 28–32 screws per sheet, staggered, heads sunk just under the paper, then coated over so no fastener ever telegraphs through paint.
Never fewer than three coats of compound, feathered out wide and sanded under dust control — Level 3, 4 or 5, chosen room by room.
Before board enters a Toronto tower, management wants a certificate of insurance, contractor pre-approval and a booked service elevator. We run that process ourselves — allow one to two weeks for sign-off, then the install proceeds like any other.
Permit parking, laneways, loading docks on timed windows — the core adds steps, never surcharges. Board deliveries get scheduled to the building, and the quote stays per square foot.
In the Annex, Cabbagetown or Riverdale we can patch sound plaster, or strip the failed lath-and-plaster and re-board — keeping wall depths and trim reveals lined up, and treating pre-1978 materials with proper care.
East-end gut renos, new infill builds, basement build-outs across Etobicoke and Scarborough — whole floors boarded and finished on a schedule your framer, electrician and painter can plan around.
What does drywall installation cost in Toronto? Square footage decides it, so that's how we quote — board supplied, hung and finished for roughly $2.00–$5.50 per square foot turnkey. Expect city jobs to land near the top of each band: elevator bookings, permit parking and tight access all take crew time. A condo bedroom near King West prices like a small, simple room; a tall-ceilinged Victorian gut in Leslieville does not. Choose a finish level below — a fuller breakdown follows, and the method behind every number sits on our drywall installation services page.
| One average room (12×12-ish) | $1,500–2,500 |
|---|---|
| Garage, one or two cars (Level 3) | $1,500–3,000 |
| Basement, wall to wall | $6,000–12,000+ |
| Whole floor or new build | scales up |
Turnkey means turnkey: board delivered, hung, taped and beaded, screws spotted, three coats minimum, sanding to your level and a daily cleanup. Supplying your own board? A labour-only rate starts near $1.50/sq ft — think $30–70 per 4×8 sheet hung and finished. Ranges guide the conversation; the free written quote locks your drywall install cost before a single sheet goes up.
One written figure tied to measured square footage — no travel line, no post-quote add-ons.
Poly walls off the work zone and sanders run on vacuums, so the rest of the home stays livable.
Hang, tape, coat and sand days set before we start — slotted around your Toronto building's elevator and loading windows.
Certificate of insurance in hand before day one, and a flat, sound surface handed to your painter at the end.
Drying time is the honest reason drywall takes days — every coat of mud must cure before the next goes on. Sequence matters just as much. The ceiling gets boarded first so the wall sheets tuck up beneath it and carry its edges, and on house walls we hang sheets horizontally for fewer, shorter joints — vertical hanging mostly earns its keep on tall commercial walls. Right stage, right order, and the final sanding pass is the quick part.
Usually a certificate of insurance, contractor pre-approval and a service-elevator booking — most Toronto towers ask for all three. Give us the building and the management company and we take the process from there; sign-off typically runs one to two weeks.
Harder to schedule, no pricier. Loading docks, permit parking and elevator windows shape the delivery plan, and we build the day around them. The quote stays per square foot, with no core surcharge.
It depends on its condition. Sound plaster in an Annex or Beaches house can be patched and matched; plaster that's cracking off the lath is better stripped and re-boarded. Either way, on homes built before 1978 we treat the older materials with proper caution.
Roughly $2.00–2.75 per square foot turnkey at Level 3, $2.75–4.00 at Level 4 and $4.00–5.50 for a Level 5 skim — and Toronto jobs often price toward the top of each band once elevators, parking and access are counted. The free written quote pins it exactly.
The ceiling, always. Wall sheets then push up tight beneath it and carry its edges, which makes stronger, cleaner joints.
Figure 28–32 on a 4×8 wall sheet and more overhead — staggered, driven just below the paper, snug enough to hold the board flat without ever breaking through.
Hang-to-sand, one room takes a day or two; a basement takes most of a week because each mud coat needs to dry first. In condos, add whatever the elevator booking adds — the schedule comes with the quote.
From the core to North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough and both ends between — yes. If a "drywall installers near me" search in Toronto brought you here, name the neighbourhood and we'll confirm it and book the measure.
Toronto is one stop on the map — the same crew boards homes across the GTA and Southern Ontario, always on a written per-square-foot price with no separate travel fee.
Tell us what you're working with — the tower and unit downtown, the semi mid-gut in Riverdale, the basement waiting on board — and IntraBuild's Toronto drywall installers will measure it, suggest a level, quote it per square foot in writing and handle any building paperwork. Costs nothing, obligates nothing.
