Drywall Installation in Oshawa

Drywall installation in the GTA typically costs $2-$4 per square foot for hanging, taping, and finishing. A standard basement finishing project costs $3,000-$6,000 for drywall. RenoHouse provides free estimates.

Basement finishing starts with moisture assessment, then framing, insulation (R-12 minimum per Ontario code), drywall, taping, and finishing. We handle the entire process including permit applications where required. A finished basement adds 30–50% more livable space to your home and significantly increases property value.

The most common causes are normal house settling (especially in newer homes), seasonal humidity changes that expand and contract framing, and minor foundation movement. Hairline cracks are cosmetic and easily repaired. Wider or recurring cracks may indicate structural movement that should be assessed by a professional.

Yes — we add sound-dampening insulation (Roxul Safe'n'Sound), resilient channel, and additional drywall layers to reduce sound transmission. For home offices, media rooms, and bedrooms, this upgrade makes a dramatic difference in noise reduction and is well worth the modest additional investment.
