Why Memphis Homeowners Choose Us for Basement & Garage Drywall Installation
Basement & Garage Drywall Services in Memphis
From fire-rated garage ceilings to mold-resistant basement walls, we frame, hang, and finish drywall built for the unique demands of these spaces — code-compliant and paint-ready.
1Garage Ceiling Fire-Rated Drywall Installation
We install 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall on garage ceilings to meet building code and add a critical layer of fire protection overhead. These thicker panels offer up to one hour of fire resistance and are required in most attached-garage applications.
Our installers ensure proper fastening, placement, and code compliance throughout the ceiling. The result is a safe, solid, fire-rated surface that's finished smooth and ready for paint.
2Basement Wall Framing and Greenboard Hanging
Finishing a basement starts with proper wall framing and the right moisture-resistant materials for a below-grade space. We frame basement walls and hang mold-resistant greenboard that stands up to the humidity these areas naturally hold.
Our team accounts for the unique conditions of basements at every step, from framing to fastening. The finished walls are solid, moisture-ready, and prepped for a smooth, paint-ready finish.
3Garage Firewall Separation
The wall separating your home from an attached garage is a required firewall, and it has to be built and finished correctly for safety and code. We install and finish fire-rated drywall along this separation to help contain fire and slow its spread between the garage and living space.
Our crew ensures proper materials, coverage, and sealing at this critical barrier. The finished firewall meets local code requirements and gives you added peace of mind.
4Insulation Check and Vapor Barrier Installation
Before we hang a single panel, we check the insulation and install a proper vapor barrier to protect against moisture and improve energy efficiency. This step is especially important in garages and basements, where temperature swings and humidity are common.
Getting the insulation and vapor barrier right prevents moisture problems and mold down the road. Only once the space is properly prepped do we move on to hanging and finishing the drywall.
5High-Durability Corner Bead for Workshop Corners
Garage and workshop corners take a beating from tools, equipment, and daily use, so we install high-durability corner bead built to hold up. The right bead keeps outside corners crisp, straight, and protected against chips and impacts.
Each corner is set, coated, and finished flush with the surrounding wall. The result is tough, clean corners that stay sharp in a hardworking space.
6Taping, Mudding, and Paint-Ready Finish
We finish every basement and garage project with proper taping and a full three-coat mudding process for smooth, durable seams. Each coat is feathered and sanded so joints, corners, and fasteners disappear into the surrounding wall.
You choose a smooth or textured finish, and we prep the surface primer- and paint-ready. The result is a clean, finished space that looks as good as the rest of your home.
