Smooth Walls Ready for Paint and Finishing

Drywall hanging and finishing in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania for new construction, remodels, and basement projects.

If you are building an addition, finishing a basement, or remodeling a room in Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas, drywall installation is one of the most critical steps before painting or decorating. Poorly hung drywall leads to visible seams, uneven surfaces, and cracks that show up after the first coat of paint. K & A Painting Plus provides drywall hanging and finishing services for homeowners and contractors throughout Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas who need smooth, paint-ready walls that meet residential and commercial standards.


We hang drywall panels, tape seams, apply joint compound, and sand surfaces to a smooth finish that is ready for primer and paint. Each project includes corner bead installation, fastener concealment, and multiple coats of mud that are feathered and sanded to eliminate ridges and imperfections. We work in new construction, remodels, additions, basement finishing, and interior renovations where drywall needs to be installed or repaired before final finishes are applied.

What You Get From Hanging Through Final Sand

Drywall hanging and finishing in Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas starts with measuring and cutting panels to fit your framing, then securing them to studs with screws spaced according to code. We install corner bead on outside corners and apply paper or mesh tape to seams before the first coat of joint compound. Each coat is allowed to dry completely before the next is applied, and we sand between coats to remove high spots and ensure a flat surface.


Once the work is complete, your walls and ceilings will be smooth to the touch with no visible seams, fasteners, or imperfections. The surface will be free of dust and ready for primer, and your painter will not need to spend extra time correcting drywall flaws before applying finish coats. The result is a room that looks and feels professionally finished.


We use standard half-inch drywall for most residential applications and thicker panels or moisture-resistant board where needed for bathrooms or basements. The service includes taping, mudding, and sanding, but it does not include painting, texturing, or framing. If insulation, electrical, or plumbing work is still in progress, we coordinate timing with other trades to avoid delays.

Let Us Address What You Need to Know

Homeowners and contractors often have questions about timing, materials, and what to expect during the drywall process. The questions below cover the most common concerns we hear from clients in Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas.

What is included in drywall hanging and finishing?
We hang drywall panels, install corner bead, tape seams, apply multiple coats of joint compound, and sand the surface smooth. The finished walls are ready for primer and paint, but those services are quoted separately unless bundled.
How long does it take to hang and finish drywall?
It depends on square footage and the number of rooms. A single room may take two to three days including drying time between coats, while a full basement or addition could take a week or more.
Do you use moisture-resistant drywall in basements or bathrooms?
Yes. We install moisture-resistant or mold-resistant drywall in areas where humidity is a concern, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and below-grade basements. These panels are designed to resist moisture absorption and prevent mold growth.
What is the difference between levels of drywall finish?
Level 4 is the standard for most residential walls and includes taped seams, corner bead, and smooth sanding. Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire surface and is used where lighting or sheen will highlight imperfections.
Can you repair existing drywall or only install new panels?
We handle both. If you have damaged drywall from water, impact, or settling, we can cut out the affected area, install a new section, and finish it to match the surrounding wall.
