St. George Elite Drywall: Drywall Installation & Repair for Residential and Commercial
Drywall Built for the Desert
St. George is hard on walls. Summer heat and low humidity can dry joint compound too fast, causing hairline cracks, and the area’s shifting soils lead to settling cracks and nail pops in newer homes. We adjust our compounds, drying times, and fastening methods to Southern Utah conditions, so your finish stays smooth year after year.
Walls You’ll Never Have to Think About Again
Most people don’t think about drywall until something goes wrong: a crack that keeps returning, a patch showing through paint, or white dust on everything. St. George Elite Drywall was built to fix those frustrations. Whether you need one hole patched or a whole home finished, you get the same careful crew and a finish that lasts.
Dust-Controlled Sanding
Drywall dust is the number one reason homeowners dread this kind of work. We use HEPA vacuum-connected sanders, zip-wall barriers, and floor protection, then clean up before we leave each day. You can keep living in your home while we work, without dust settling on everything you own.
Texture Matching Guarantee
A repair is only as good as how well it disappears. We hand-match the knockdown, orange peel, and smooth finishes common in St. George homes, testing on sample boards first. If your patch still shows after paint, we come back and redo it free.
Dedicated Project Manager on Every Job
Most contractors hand you off to whoever shows up that day. Every St. George Elite Drywall project gets one dedicated project manager who meets you at the estimate, checks the work at every stage, keeps you updated, and walks the finished job with you before we call it done.
Level 5 Finish Specialists
Southern Utah’s bright sunlight exposes every seam and ridge on a wall. With 65+ Level 5 projects completed across Washington County, we specialize in skim-coated, glass-smooth finishes that look flawless under morning sun, evening light, and modern LED fixtures.

Residential Drywall Services in St. George, Utah
Residential Drywall Installation
Residential Drywall Installation
We install drywall in new builds, additions, and remodels throughout St. George. Our crews hang 1/2-inch drywall panels, 5/8-inch fire-rated drywall for garages and shared walls, and moisture-resistant board for bathrooms, following manufacturer screw patterns and checking level and square before finishing.
Residential Drywall and Ceiling Repair
Our drywall repair services fix holes, dents, cracks, sagging ceilings, and water stains in St. George homes. We patch with joint compound or cut-to-size panels, reinforce cracks with mesh tape, inspect framing before re-securing sagging drywall, and match wall and ceiling texture so repairs disappear once painted.
Residential Water Damage Repair
Water damage from roof leaks, plumbing failures, and monsoon flooding weakens drywall and can cause mold. We remove wet drywall beyond the stain line, dry the framing and insulation, check for mold, then install new drywall and match the texture. Prompt repair prevents structural damage.
Residential Texturing and Skim Coating
We offer drywall texturing, including orange peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes, testing each texture match on a sample board so it blends with existing walls and ceilings. Our skim coating applies joint compound across entire surfaces, smoothing uneven texture and hiding patches for a flawless, paint-ready finish.
Residential Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Popcorn ceiling removal updates older homes with a modern look. We recommend asbestos testing for homes built before 1980, then scrape the acoustic texture, inspect and repair the drywall underneath, and skim coat the ceiling for a smooth, even, paint-ready finish.
Residential Basement and Garage Drywall
Basement and garage drywall must handle moisture and meet fire code. We install moisture-resistant board in basements, 5/8-inch fire-rated drywall on garage walls and ceilings shared with living space, and coordinate insulation, then tape, sand, and texture to match your home.
Commercial Drywall Services in
St. George, Utah
Commercial Office Drywall
We install office drywall partition walls, ceiling systems, and soundproofing assemblies for tenant improvements and renovations. Our team coordinates with electricians and HVAC contractors, meets fire separation codes in multi-tenant buildings, and finishes walls to a smooth, paint-ready professional standard.
Commercial Retail Drywall
Our retail drywall services cover storefront buildouts and renovations on tight opening deadlines. We frame and finish walls for shelving, lighting, and signage, build curved walls, soffits, and display niches to architectural drawings, and install impact-resistant drywall in fitting rooms and high-traffic areas.
Commercial Restaurant Drywall
Restaurant drywall must handle moisture, grease, and health code requirements. We install moisture-resistant drywall in kitchens, restrooms, and dish areas, fire-rated assemblies near commercial kitchen equipment, and custom ceilings and soffits in dining areas, coordinating with other trades to meet your opening date.
Specialty Drywall Services in
St. George, Utah
Soundproofing
We install soundproof drywall for home theaters, offices, and shared walls using acoustic drywall panels, resilient channels, and mass-loaded vinyl to reduce noise transfer. We assess the noise source and room purpose first, so you only pay for the soundproofing you need.
Level 5 Finish
A Level 5 drywall finish is the smoothest standard, ideal for gloss paint, strong lighting, modern living rooms, and commercial lobbies. We skim coat the entire surface to eliminate seams and texture variations, and help you decide if it’s worth the added cost.
Fire-Rated and Moisture-Resistant Drywall
We install Type X fire-rated drywall in garages, shared walls, and furnace rooms to meet building code, and moisture-resistant drywall in bathrooms, shower surrounds, laundry rooms, and basements. Matching materials to each room keeps your project code-compliant and reduces long-term maintenance.
Drywall Materials, Finishes and Installation Solutions in St. George, Utah
Drywall Finishing and Surface Preparation
Our five-level drywall finishing system includes taping seams with paper or mesh tape, multiple coats of joint compound, sanding between coats, and priming. Level 5 skim coats are used for glossy paint or strong lighting, and we check walls under raking light before painting.
Corner Bead, Trim and Edge Details
We install metal corner bead for high-traffic outside corners and vinyl or paper-faced bead for softer edges. Trim includes J-bead around windows and doors, L-bead where drywall meets tile, control joints for building movement, and arch bead for arched openings.
Modern Drywall Texture
We apply modern drywall textures including knockdown for living areas, orange peel for hallways and ceilings, smooth or skip trowel for modern homes, and hand-troweled for accent walls. Smooth finishes are popular in new St. George homes, and we match existing textures for repairs and additions.
Drywall Hardware and Installation Accessories
We use coarse-thread drywall screws for wood framing and fine-thread screws for metal studs, spaced to manufacturer guidelines to prevent sagging. Paper or mesh joint tape reinforces seams, and construction adhesive reduces fasteners and screw pops, preventing cracks and uneven surfaces after painting.
Impact-Resistant and High-Durability Drywall
Impact-resistant drywall uses reinforced facings and denser gypsum cores to resist dents, punctures, and abrasion. We recommend it for hallways, stairwells, garages, schools, daycares, apartment common areas, and homes with kids or pets, where it reduces long-term repair costs.
Metal Stud Framing and Wall Assemblies
Metal stud framing creates straight, warp-resistant walls for commercial buildouts, basement remodels, and interior partitions. We select steel stud gauge for load needs and space studs 16 or 24 inches on center, while pre-cut knockouts speed up electrical and plumbing installation.

Drywall Cost and Pricing in St. George, Utah?
What Affects Cost?
Several variables determine what you'll pay for a drywall project.
- Project scope: Full installations cost more than patch repairs or small touch-ups.
- Room size: Larger rooms require more sheets, labor hours, and finishing time.
- Drywall type: Standard 1/2 inch drywall costs less than moisture-resistant or mold-resistant boards.
- Finish level: A basic finish is cheaper than a smooth, paint-ready surface requiring multiple coats of joint compound.
- Accessibility: Ceilings, tight corners, and hard-to-reach spaces add labor time.
- Material quality: Thicker boards and specialty products (fire-rated, soundproof) increase material costs.
We factor all of these elements into every quote we provide. This ensures you receive pricing that reflects the actual work involved, not a generic estimate.
