Tape & First Coat
Paper or mesh tape is embedded in joint compound over all seams and fastener dimples.

Additional coats are applied and feathered wider for an invisible seam after sanding.
Final Sanding & Prime
A thorough sand leaves a glass-smooth surface, ready for primer and paint.

Professional Drywall Installation & Repair in Burlington, VT
Pro-Tech Contracting provides drywall installation, hanging, taping, mudding, and repair throughout Burlington, Vermont and surrounding counties. Most standard drywall installations are completed within one week, minimizing disruption to your household. The process begins with precise measurement and material ordering to reduce waste, followed by accurate cutting and hanging with the correct screw pattern for a flat, solid wall. Three coats of joint compound are then applied and sanded — each coat feathered wider than the last — until the seam disappears completely into the wall surface. The result is a paint-ready wall that shows no evidence of the installation.
Drywall repair requires matching the existing wall texture, which varies significantly across Vermont homes — smooth finish, orange peel, knockdown, and skip trowel are all common. Pro-Tech's crew has extensive experience matching textures so repairs blend invisibly into surrounding walls. For water-damaged drywall, we first confirm the moisture source has been resolved before replacing any material. Installing new drywall over an active moisture problem leads to immediate mold growth behind the new panels — a more expensive fix than getting the sequence right the first time.
Drywall Questions & Answers
How long does drywall installation take?
Most standard drywall installations — a single room, a basement finish, or a renovation where framing is already in place — are completed within one week. This includes hanging, taping, three coats of mud, sanding, and primer. Larger projects such as whole-house drywall or new construction with many rooms take longer. We provide a written timeline with every estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Pro-Tech does not drag out projects — the same crew works your job from start to finish without interruption.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes. Texture matching is one of the more technically demanding aspects of drywall repair, and Pro-Tech's crew has experience with all common Vermont wall textures: smooth finish, orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and popcorn ceiling (where removal is not requested). We test texture samples on a small inconspicuous area before committing to the repair patch to confirm the match. A good texture match means the repair is invisible after painting — no visible outline or sheen difference where the patch was made.
What is the difference between drywall repair and drywall replacement?
Repair involves patching damaged areas — nail holes, small impact damage, cracks, or sections damaged by water — while the majority of the existing drywall remains in place. Replacement involves removing and reinstalling entire sheets or panels, which is necessary for large water-damaged areas, fire damage, or renovation projects where walls are opened for plumbing or electrical work. Pro-Tech handles both. For water damage specifically, we assess the moisture source, confirm it is resolved, and then replace the affected drywall and address any mold remediation needed.
Do you do drywall in finished basements?
Yes. Basement drywall finishing is one of the most common projects Pro-Tech handles in the Burlington area. Vermont basements require moisture-resistant drywall products, particularly on below-grade walls and in areas with known humidity. We use type X fire-rated drywall where required by code and install moisture-resistant (green board or cement board) where moisture is a concern. Every basement drywall project starts with a written plan and timeline. Most single-room basement finishes are completed within one week.
