For repairs and small patches we often book same-day or next-day when a crew is in your area. Larger hang and finish jobs are scheduled from a written estimate. Call (313) 236-4558 with photos for the fastest quote.
Most rooms are Level 4 — taped joints, screws covered, ready for flat or eggshell paint. Rooms with big windows, gloss paint, or wallpaper need Level 5 (full skim). We note this on every estimate so your painter does not reject the walls on walkthrough.
Yes. We take a sample, test orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel on a board, and blend repairs so the patch disappears after paint. Older Metro Detroit homes often mix smooth additions with textured main floors — we plan transitions so they are not visible at doorways.
By scope: square footage, ceiling height, finish level, texture, and access (occupied vs empty). Repairs are usually a minimum visit plus labor and materials. Commercial work is bid from plans or a site walk with phased schedules for occupied buildings.
Yes. We sub hang/finish crews to GCs, handle tenant-improvement drywall, and invoice on net terms for repeat clients. COIs and W-9 available on request.
After drying is confirmed, we flood-cut, remove damaged board, hang replacement, finish, and texture-match. We document square footage and photos for adjusters. Do not close walls until moisture readings are in range — we can coordinate with your restoration company's timeline.
Drywall looks simple until corners, fire ratings, or occupied spaces are involved. Licensed & insured contractors carry liability and workers comp — protecting you if something goes wrong. BH Drywall Metro Detroit puts scope, price, and schedule in writing before work starts.
