Providing Exceptional Landscaping

Smooth walls are made in the taping and mudding — not the painting. Anyone can hang drywall sheets; getting seams to disappear takes a finisher’s hand. GDS Landscaping and General Contracting handles drywall end to end for Barrie and Simcoe County homes and rentals: hanging, taping, mudding, sanding, and primed ready for paint.

What’s Included

  • Drywall installation — new walls and ceilings in basements, additions, garages, and full renovations, hung level and screwed to code
  • Taping and mudding — paper tape bedded in compound, three-coat finish, feathered out so seams vanish under light
  • Drywall repair — patches for holes, water damage, and cracks; textured ceilings matched and blended
  • Fire-rated and moisture-resistant board — 5/8″ Type X where code requires it, green board in bathrooms and laundry rooms
  • Popcorn ceiling removal and re-skimming — flat, modern ceilings without the mess left behind for you

Why Our Drywall Looks Different

Most bad drywall jobs fail at the same two points: joints that flash through the paint, and inside corners that crack within a year. We use fibreglass mesh on high-stress joints, set inside corners in compound rather than dry-taped, and sand between coats under raking light — the same light your hallway sconces will throw across the wall. The result is walls that photograph flat and stay flat.

If you’re finishing a basement, drywall is where the project either comes together or falls apart. We coordinate it with the electrical, plumbing, and insulation inspections so you’re not cutting open finished walls to pass code — and we keep dust contained with barriers and negative air so the rest of your house stays livable.
