Three kinds of walls keep us busy here: century plaster finally letting go in Old North, Old South and Wortley Village, hard-working student rentals around Western and Fanshawe that turn over every spring, and fresh framing in Masonville, Hyde Park and Byron waiting on its first sheet of board. IntraBuild hangs, tapes and sands all three — the drywall installation London homeowners, landlords and builders count on. Every job is quoted per square foot, in writing, before a sheet goes up, and the drive out never shows on the invoice — drywall installation London Ontario can book with no separate travel fee.
Most London drywall jobs start with the same question: patch the plaster again, or board it properly? In Old North, Old South and Wortley Village we usually answer with a tear-out and clean new drywall — call it sheetrock or wallboard, it's the same board — matched to the reveals of the walls staying put. Around Western and Fanshawe the work changes shape: rental units that need durable board hung fast between leases. And in Masonville, Hyde Park and Byron it's whole-home boarding on brand-new framing. One crew handles all of it, and the London address never adds a travel fee — the written price is tied to your square footage, full stop. Typed "drywall installation near me" from a London postal code? You've found the crew. The wider method lives on our drywall installation services page — what you'll read below sticks to the London-specific work: failed plaster, campus rentals and new subdivisions.
Every sheet goes up plumb and pulled tight to the framing, joints staggered as we go, with clean cut-outs at outlets, windows and light boxes.
Seams get mesh or paper tape; outside corners get metal or paper-faced bead — the difference between edges that stay sharp for decades and edges that crack.
Roughly 28–32 fasteners per sheet, staggered, sunk just below the paper, and every one spotted with mud so no head ever ghosts through the paint.
Never fewer than three coats of compound, feathered out wide, then dust-controlled sanding down to the Level 3, 4 or 5 your rooms call for.
A house in Old North or Wortley Village wears its original plaster for ninety-odd years — then the cracks stop being cosmetic and the walls start drumming loose from the lath. When patching becomes a subscription, we strip back to the studs and hang new board, holding the old heights and reveals so the fresh walls read like they were always there.
Landlords around the two campuses live on the academic calendar, and we schedule to it. Between leases we move in, hang tough Level 3–4 finishes built to shrug off tenant life, and compress the hang, tape and sand days so the unit is earning again by move-in weekend instead of sitting dark for a month.
Masonville, Hyde Park, Byron and Sunningdale keep adding streets, and new framing means whole-home boarding — floor after floor hung, taped and sanded. We slot our days between the electrician's rough-in and the painter's primer so drywall is never the trade everyone else waits on.
Yes, London sits a real distance out into Southwestern Ontario — and no, that distance never reaches your invoice. The written price is tied to your square footage alone, with no travel fee behind it, and the crew that measures your rooms is the same one that boards and finishes them.
Square footage drives the cost of drywall installation London projects carry more than anything else, which is why we quote per square foot — board supplied, hung and finished — never a rounded flat guess. Around the city, turnkey work lands inside $2.00–$5.50 per square foot. Where a job falls in that band depends on its shape: an Old South plaster tear-out and re-board, with careful matching and a tighter finish, presses toward the top; a wide-open new-build main floor in Masonville, all long straight runs, sits lower-middle. Choose a finish level below — a fuller breakdown waits further down, and the full method behind the numbers lives on our drywall installation services page. And because a drywall installation company London can book shouldn't bill for distance, the price is identical downtown or out in Byron — no travel fee.
| One room, roughly 12×12 | $1,500–2,500 |
|---|---|
| Garage, one or two cars (Level 3) | $1,500–3,000 |
| Full basement, boarded & finished | $6,000–12,000+ |
| Whole floor or new build | scales up |
Turnkey means the whole job, start to finish — board delivered, hung, taped and beaded, screws spotted, three coats minimum, sanding to your level and cleanup every day. Supplying your own board? A labour-only rate starts near $1.50/sq ft, and a single 4×8 works out to roughly $30–70 hung and finished. Treat these drywall installation prices as guides — your free written quote fixes the real drywall install cost before the first sheet goes up.
The number arrives on paper, tied to your measured square footage — and it already includes the trip to London.
Rooms get sealed behind poly and the sanding runs through vacuum extraction, so the mess stays where the work is.
Hang, tape, coat and sand days get mapped before we start and meshed with your other trades — the same discipline on a Wortley re-board as on a brand-new Byron build.
Liability insurance active on every job, and the handover is a flat, sound surface with nothing left for your painter to fix.
Drywall rewards patience: every coat of mud has to dry before the next goes on, so the schedule breathes between stages and can't honestly be hurried. Ceilings are always boarded ahead of the walls — the wall sheets then tuck up beneath the ceiling board and carry its edges. In houses we generally run sheets horizontally; taller commercial walls sometimes take vertical hanging instead. The goal never moves, though: the fewest joints possible, each one finished clean.
It's the London job we do most. In Old North, Old South and Wortley Village the original plaster is pushing a hundred years old, and once it cracks and drums loose from the lath, patching becomes good money after bad. We strip to the studs, sort whatever hides behind, then board and finish to match the heights and reveals of the rooms you're keeping.
That's the rhythm of our work near Western and Fanshawe. We compress the hang, tape and sand days into the gap between tenants and spec durable Level 3–4 finishes that survive student life — so a changeover costs you days of vacancy rather than weeks, and the unit is ready before the next lease starts.
All across the north and northwest — Masonville, Hyde Park, Sunningdale and Byron. New framing gets whole-home board and finish, floor by floor, and we slot our days between your electrician's rough-in and your painter's primer so the schedule never stalls on drywall.
As turnkey guide ranges: $2.00–2.75 per square foot at Level 3, $2.75–4.00 at Level 4 and $4.00–5.50 for a full Level 5 skim. Clean new-build floors in Masonville price efficiently per foot; century-home tear-outs with matching work sit higher. Size, ceiling height and finish level move the number — the free written quote pins it down exactly.
Genuinely. Southwestern Ontario runs are part of our normal week, London included, and your quote is one written price tied to square footage. Old North, the downtown core or out in Byron — the address changes nothing, and no travel fee ever appears afterward.
The ceiling, every time. With the lid on first, wall sheets slide up snug beneath it and carry its edges — stronger joints, cleaner lines.
Figure roughly 28–32 on a 4×8 wall sheet, and more overhead on ceilings. They go in staggered and sunk just below the paper without tearing it, so the board sits flat and every head vanishes under mud.
Wherever you are in the city, yes — Old North and Old South, Wortley Village and Woodfield, the downtown core, Masonville and Sunningdale, Hyde Park and Oakridge, Byron and Lambeth, White Oaks and East London.
