Drywall and paint are the finish work that transform a room. Every renovation ends here: after the plumbing and wiring and framing are done, drywall and paint are what you actually see. We handle drywall painting Portsmouth OH jobs for full renovations, patch repairs, and standalone paint work. Recent Google Business Profile data showed someone in the 45662 zip code searched “drywall workers”. People around here need this work done and finding someone reliable is harder than it should be.
Most of our drywall and paint work is tied to other remodels. We hang and finish drywall after a kitchen gut. We texture, paint, and trim after a bathroom tile job. If you just need one room painted, we handle that too. Color matching existing rooms, ceiling-only refreshes, and accent walls are all common calls.
What We Do
- Drywall hanging for new construction and renovations
- Taping and mudding with three coats minimum
- Texture matching: orange peel, knockdown, smooth
- Drywall repair for holes, water damage, and cracks
- Interior painting: walls, ceilings, trim
- Exterior painting for siding, doors, and trim
- Cabinet painting and refinishing
- Stain and varnish work on wood
- Wallpaper removal and wall prep
- Popcorn ceiling removal and retexturing
We use quality paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Flat for ceilings, eggshell or satin for walls, semi-gloss for trim and doors. Two coats is standard. Primer where the surface needs it. Tinted primer when you are covering a dark color with something lighter. These details matter and cheap contractors skip them.
When You Need Drywall Work
Most people call us for drywall after something else happens. Water leaked through the ceiling. A kid put a hole in the wall. You pulled up carpet and discovered the wall needs refinishing. Drywall damage never gets better on its own.
- After a renovation: we often include this in our kitchen and bathroom remodels
- Water damage repair after a leak or flood
- Finishing a basement for usable living space
- Adding or removing walls during layout changes
- Updating textured ceilings from 1970s-style popcorn to a modern finish
If a wall has been patched multiple times and always looks wavy, a full skim coat can reset it. Ask about it. It is not expensive and the result looks new. For homes with plaster instead of drywall, we patch with plaster-compatible compounds so the new work blends properly.
Our Process
Every drywall and paint job follows the same steps. We keep the work clean and the timeline predictable.
- Prep: floors and fixtures covered, furniture moved or protected
- Repair or hang new drywall as needed
- Tape and mud: three coats minimum, sanded between each
- Sand and dust cleanup
- Prime the fresh drywall or repairs
- Two coats of finish paint
- Paint trim, doors, and baseboards as part of the scope
- Final cleanup and walkthrough
Timeline depends on square footage. A single bedroom takes 2-3 days. A full interior repaint of a 2,000 square foot home runs 5-8 days. Cabinet painting adds a day or two depending on the number of doors and drawers. Call (740) 357-9020 for a free estimate.
We protect your home during the job. Plastic sheeting on doorways, drop cloths on floors, and fixtures bagged before any sanding happens. Dust is part of drywall work, but proper containment keeps it from ending up in the rest of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drywall hang and finish runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, so a typical room (12×12 ceiling and walls) lands around $1,200 to $2,400. Interior painting runs $400 to $700 per room for two coats including ceilings and trim. Whole-house repaints (3-bedroom, 1,500 square feet) run $3,500 to $6,000. Call (740) 357-9020.
Skipping the prep. Mud joints have to be feathered out 8 to 10 inches and sanded between coats: most DIY drywall reveals every seam after the lights are on. For painting, the mistake is rolling without cutting in properly, leaving brush marks at every corner. Take the time on prep and the finish coat is automatic.
Painting yes. Most homeowners can paint a room well with a roller, a brush, and a Saturday. Drywall hanging and finishing has a steep learning curve and looks rough until you’ve done six rooms. If you’re starting from scratch, hire the drywall and do the painting yourself.
A single-room drywall + paint runs three to five days. Whole-house interior repaint runs four to seven days. Full drywall + paint on a renovated space runs one to three weeks depending on square footage. See hooverhousingsolutions.com for recent finishes.
