Drywall Services in Petaluma
Framing done and the job sitting idle waiting on board? El Molino Drywall hangs, tapes, and finishes Petaluma homes on a start date we actually hold, with a fixed written quote before anything begins. No mid-project price surprises are added later. You get covered floors, flat paint-ready walls, and a crew based on a short run up Highway 101.
Our shop sits at 1704 Kerry Ln in Santa Rosa, a straight run north up Highway 101 from Petaluma. It is a working yard where the trucks load out every morning, not just a mailing address or a pin dropped on a map. Petaluma sits on the corridor we run every day, and that changes how your project works. We can walk the site the same week you call, quote it without adding travel time, and hold the start date instead of pushing it back when another job runs long. If anything needs another look after the painter leaves, we are back fast.
Most of it traces back to the house itself, and to crews that hang board the same way regardless.
Irregular stud spacing in older A Street and Oakhill-Brewster homes, so flat board meets a wall that isn't.
New board butted against original lath and plaster at a different thickness, leaving a ridge down the seam.
Framing that swells through wet Petaluma winters and shrinks in dry summers, opening joints hung with no room to move.
Converted garages hung without the fire-rated board the code requires, which fails inspection and comes back off the wall.
The ceiling board screwed off too widely, so it bellies between joists once finished coats and texture add weight.
None of this is the drywall's fault. It comes from hanging boards without reading the house first.
A weak install passes the final walkthrough. It shows itself months later, once the paint has cured and afternoon light crosses the wall at an angle.
Joints telegraph under side light, and correcting them means re-coating, sanding, and repainting the whole wall rather than one strip.
Door and window corners split as the framing moves, and each fix means cutting the joint back, re-taping, and matching the finish again.
On a permitted addition or ADU, board hung wrong comes off before the project can be signed off, adding weeks and a second material bill.
From a bare-framed addition on the west side to a full build in the newer neighborhoods east of the freeway, we cover the whole range of drywall installation in Petaluma. Same crew, same protection, and the same finish standard on every single project.

New boards tied seamlessly into existing walls and ceilings so the joint between old and new never reads.
Fire-rated board and code-compliant installation where low ceilings and existing utilities leave no margin for error.
Flat, textured, and vaulted ceilings fastened and finished to stay tight with no sag or shadow under any light.
Need finishing or a repair instead? We also provide drywall taping and drywall repair across Petaluma.
Four steps on every project, in the same order, so you always know what comes next.
We measure the space, check your framing, and flag anything that needs correcting first. You get a written fixed-price quote, and that number is what you pay.
Floors, stairways, cabinets, and fixtures get covered and dust containment goes up before a single sheet moves inside, so the rest of the house stays livable.
Board is cut precisely to your framing rather than forced to fit, then fastened at the right spacing so walls stay true under the finish.
Every joint is taped, coated, and sanded to a smooth paint-ready surface, then we walk the finished rooms with you before we call the job done.
We install drywall on both sides of Petaluma, from the Victorians and bungalows west of Highway 101 to the newer neighborhoods spreading east toward Sonoma Mountain. What sits behind the wall decides how we hang the board in front of it.
We also serve the wider Sonoma County, Napa County, Marin County, and San Francisco.
Tell us what you are building and we will walk the site, measure the work, and send a fixed written quote. No obligation, no pressure, and nothing added to the price later.
