Drywall Installation & Repairs

Invisible repairs and dead-flat new walls: level 5 when it matters.

From a single ceiling patch after a leak to framing and hanging an entire floor, drywall is where sloppy work shows up under South Florida's harsh natural light. We float, sand, prime, and check walls with raking light before we call them done.

How we approach it

Dead-flat walls are the foundation of a great paint job

Drywall is one of those things you only notice when it is done poorly. A bad patch, a visible seam, or a wavy wall can ruin the look of an entire room, especially under the bright, raking light common in South Florida homes.

We approach drywall as a craft. Whether we are patching a small hole from a plumbing repair or hanging an entire new wing of a house, we focus on the floating and sanding phases. This ensures that when the paint goes on, the surface is truly smooth and the repairs are invisible.

We also take dust containment seriously. Drywall work is notoriously messy, so we use plastic zip-walls, floor protection, and vacuum-assisted sanding to keep the rest of your home clean while we work.

Example project

Whole-home popcorn removal and smooth finish

Sunrise, FL2 weeks

The challenge
A homeowner wanted to remove dated popcorn ceilings throughout a 1,800-square-foot home but was worried about the mess and the quality of the finish.
What we did
We used a wet-scrape method to minimize dust, followed by a full skim coat of all ceilings to achieve a Level 4 smooth finish.
The result
The ceilings look brand new and modern, and the home remained clean throughout the process thanks to our intensive containment strategy.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Standards we hold

  • We check all finishes with a raking light to identify and fix imperfections
  • Vacuum-assisted sanding is used to minimize dust in the home
  • Plastic containment with zipper doors is standard on all interior jobs
  • We use fiberglass mesh tape on all repairs for superior crack resistance
  • All new drywall is primed before the homeowner takes over for paint

On the job

Walls that finish flat

Taping and finishing

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
Andre & Sofia P. · Coral Springs, FL · Full backyard renovation
“We turn over rental units on tight deadlines. They have never once missed a make-ready date, and their punch lists are cleaner than anyone we've used.”
