Get a Free QuoteQuality drywall work builds strong walls and finished spaces. Stone Lion Contractors installs, repairs, and finishes drywall for Irvine homes, commercial properties, and tenant improvement projects. We deliver Level 4–5 finishes that hold up and look right.
Whether you need a simple patch, a full room installation, or metal stud framing for a commercial build-out, we have the crew, tools, and experience to handle it cleanly and efficiently.
New construction and remodels require solid drywall installation. We hang sheets precisely, use quality materials — 1/2", 5/8", moisture-resistant, and cement board — and finish to spec.
Cracks, holes, and water damage happen. We patch small holes, repair large sections, and match existing finishes. Whether from settling, impact, or moisture — we restore wall integrity fast.
Proper finishing prevents cracks and visible imperfections. We tape, mud, and sand multiple coats to achieve Level 4 or Level 5 finishes — the standard for premium commercial and residential work.
Metal stud framing for commercial spaces, partitions, and wall modifications. We install steel tracks, studs, and blocking for durable, code-compliant assemblies built to last.
Skim coating restores damaged or uneven walls to a perfectly smooth surface. We apply thin, even layers of joint compound and sand to a Level 5 finish ready for paint.
Textured finishes hide imperfections and add visual character. We apply orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and custom textures — matched to your existing walls or applied fresh throughout.
Drywall installation starts with framed walls, then sheets are hung, taped, and finished. Here's our step-by-step process — the same on every job, every time.
Get a Drywall QuoteWe inspect stud placement and verify alignment before hanging any sheet. Proper framing is the foundation of a quality finish.
Sheets are cut, fit, and hung horizontally or vertically using screws — driven flush, never over-driven. All edges are supported.
Joint tape is embedded in compound over every seam and corner. Metal or paper bead is applied at all outside corners for crisp, durable edges.
Multiple coats of joint compound are applied, allowed to fully dry, and sanded smooth between each coat until the surface is ready for finish.
Walls are ready for paint, texture, or wallcovering. We clean up completely and walk the finished work with you before calling it done.
Timeline depends on project size. Small repairs take a few hours; full room installation typically takes 2–5 days including mud drying time. We give you a firm timeline before we start.
Yes — we remove damaged sections, verify the moisture source has been addressed, and install new drywall with proper finishing to match surrounding surfaces. We can also coordinate with your moisture remediation team.
Taping and mudding seals drywall seams with joint tape embedded in compound (mud). Multiple coats are applied, each fully dried and sanded before the next. It's what makes walls look smooth and flat rather than showing where sheets meet.
Yes — we install metal studs and tracks for commercial partitions, office walls, and load-bearing frames. Metal framing is standard in commercial construction and we handle it as part of a full TI scope or standalone.
We offer orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, popcorn removal, and smooth Level 5 finishes. Each texture can be matched to existing walls or applied fresh. We'll help you choose the right look for your space.
We typically deliver Level 4 finish as a standard and Level 5 for premium or high-gloss paint applications. Level 5 is the highest industry standard — a skim coat over the entire surface for a perfectly smooth wall.
