What to know about Drywall installation
Drywall installation turns a framed wall or ceiling into a smooth surface ready for paint: gypsum panels are cut and screwed to studs and joists, the seams are taped, screws and corners are covered with joint compound, and everything is sanded flat. It comes up when finishing a basement, building an addition or a new partition, renovating a kitchen or bathroom, closing in a garage, or rebuilding a room stripped to the studs after water damage or rewiring.

How to choose drywall contractors in Sault Ste. Marie
- Ask how the painter will prepare the surfaces, since patching, sanding and priming matter as much as the paint.
- Get a written quote that lists which rooms or surfaces are included, the number of coats and who supplies the paint.
- Ask how they'll protect floors, furniture, landscaping and anything they can't move.
- In older homes, ask how they handle old paint that may contain lead.
- Look at recent work, paying attention to clean lines at ceilings and trim.
Questions to ask drywall contractors before you hire
- What prep work is included, such as patching, sanding, caulking and priming?
- How many coats are included, and what paint will you use?
- Are ceilings, trim, doors and closets part of the price?
- How will you protect my floors, furniture and plants?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What happens if I notice touch-ups needed after you finish?
Drywall permits in Ontario
Some drywall work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
General contracting and renovation
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.

Exterior Painting guide
Exterior painting and staining protect the outside of a house as much as they improve how it looks. A sound coat sheds rain, slows sun damage to wood and keeps moisture out of joints and board ends.

Common drywall questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
