Licensed and insured crews for popcorn ceiling removal, water-damage patching, Level 5 finishes and full room rebuilds.
Glendale Quality Drywall is a drywall contractor in Glendale, CA that hangs, tapes, textures and repairs drywall for homeowners, property managers and general contractors across the city. Most calls fall into three buckets: a ceiling that needs the popcorn taken off, a patch that has to disappear into an existing texture, or a room that has been taken back to studs and needs board, tape and a finish that will not photograph under the lights.
Every job starts with a walkthrough and a written scope, because drywall pricing turns on things you cannot see from a photo — how the framing is spaced, whether the existing texture is sprayed or hand-troweled, and how much furniture has to move before containment goes up. Crews are licensed and insured, work out of Glendale, and cover the neighbouring San Fernando and San Gabriel Valley cities within about a 25 mile radius.
The work most Glendale homeowners call about — ceilings, patches, and whole-room board and finish.
Scrape, skim and retexture acoustic ceilings, with plastic containment and floor protection through every room we touch.
Ceilings installed before the mid-1980s are tested for asbestos before any scraping starts; if the sample comes back positive the removal goes to a licensed abatement contractor and we return to finish.
Water stains, door-knob holes, settlement cracks, and ceiling sag repaired and blended into the surrounding texture.
Repairs are cut back to sound board and framing, backed with furring or a hot-mud butterfly patch, then taped with paper tape rather than mesh where the patch crosses a stud line.
Hang, tape and finish for room additions, garage conversions, and rooms taken back to studs after a remodel.
Board is hung perpendicular to framing with screws set to a dimple and no paper break, corner bead is fastened rather than glued, and joints are staggered so no seam runs the full height of a wall.
Suite build-outs, rated assemblies, and after-hours schedules for occupied buildings.
Demolition, framing, board and finish for suite reconfigurations in offices, clinics and retail spaces.
Work is sequenced around the building schedule, with negative-air containment and daily debris removal so the neighbouring suites stay open.
Light-gauge steel framing, deflection track at the head, and board hung to the layout the plans call for.
Track is fastened to slab and deck, studs are set at the spacing on the drawings, and slip track is used at the head of non-bearing partitions so deflection is not transferred into the board.
The technical end of the trade: finish levels, board types, and the assemblies inspectors ask about.
The finish is specified, not guessed — Level 4 under most paint, Level 5 where raking light or gloss will show every joint.
A Level 5 finish adds a skim coat over the entire surface after the third coat, which is what stops joint photographing on long walls lit from one end.
Moisture- and mold-resistant board in bathrooms, cement board behind tile, and Type X where the assembly is rated.
Sound-rated partitions use resilient channel or a double-stud layout with insulation in the cavity; rated assemblies keep the listed board type, screw spacing and joint treatment so the assembly still matches its listing.
Smaller scopes that still need a finisher who can match what is already on the wall.
Knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel and hand-troweled finishes reproduced on a sample board before anything is sprayed on your wall.
Full-surface skim coats that flatten a wall or ceiling so joints stop photographing under raking light or gloss paint.
Cavity insulation, resilient channel and decoupled framing for home offices, shared walls and bedrooms on the street side.
Clean openings for plumbers and electricians, then a closed-up, taped and texture-matched finish once the trade behind you is done.
Crews cover Glendale, CA and everything within about 25 miles.
Why homeowners call us
You get a scope and a number in writing. If something behind the wall changes the work, we stop and price it before carrying on.
General liability and workers compensation cover every crew on site, and certificates go to your building manager on request.
Plastic containment, zippered doorways, floor protection and vacuum sanding — the room gets left cleaner than the debris pile suggests.
The same people hang, tape and finish, so nobody blames the last trade for a joint that shows.
FAQ
Price follows square footage, finish level and access. A single patch is priced as a minimum call-out, a room of new board is priced per square foot of board hung and finished, and a whole-house ceiling scrape is priced per room. You get the number in writing after a walkthrough, not over the phone.
A single room is usually a two-day job: scrape and skim on day one, sand and retexture on day two, with paint after that. A full single-storey house typically runs the better part of a week because each ceiling needs drying time between coats.
Yes. Acoustic ceilings sprayed before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos, so a sample goes to a lab before anyone scrapes. If the result is positive, a licensed abatement contractor removes the material and we come back to skim, texture and finish.
Usually. Knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel and hand-troweled finishes can all be matched by spraying a sample board first and adjusting the mud consistency and nozzle until it reads the same from a few feet away.
Regularly. Containment goes up before demolition, air scrubbers run in the work zone, and we schedule sanding for the hours that suit you. In commercial suites that often means evenings and weekends.
Glendale is home base, and crews work across Pasadena, Burbank, La Cañada Flintridge, Eagle Rock and Montrose — roughly a 25 mile radius. Call and ask if your street sits just outside it.
