Drywall Contractor in Berkeley, CA
Ron Hogan Drywall hangs, tapes, and finishes walls in Berkeley — houses off Shattuck Avenue, University Avenue shops, and Telegraph Avenue interiors. Family-owned since 1970. The crew comes from Fairfield. The lot has to be inside the City of Berkeley, not Albany, not Oakland, and not Kensington.
Berkeley runs its own permit center
A Berkeley drywall call is usually a house remodel, a Shattuck Avenue shop, or a patch. Berkeley incorporated on April 4, 1878. It is a city in Alameda County. The city permit center issues the permits. Albany is north. Oakland is south. Emeryville is southwest. Kensington is northeast and unincorporated, in Contra Costa County. Those places do not share Berkeley’s counter.
Shattuck Avenue, University Avenue, Telegraph Avenue, and San Pablo Avenue inside the city are this page. Solano Avenue crosses into Albany. College Avenue crosses into Oakland. A hill lot in Kensington is not a Berkeley permit. Send the street.
Drywall we hang in Berkeley
House remodels
New rooms and additions in Berkeley houses. Framing here is usually wood. We hang on it, then tape and finish for paint. Drywall services →
Shattuck and University shops
Stores, offices, and tenant improvements on Shattuck Avenue, University Avenue, and Telegraph Avenue when the lot is in the city. A shop wall is not priced like a closet. Commercial drywall →
Repairs
Holes, nail pops, cracks, and water-soft board. The leak is stopped first. Texture is matched to the Berkeley wall already in the room.
Finish in the scope
Level 3 for texture or a shop. Level 4 for a normal painted room. Level 5 only if the light or a dark flat paint will show the joints.
Sheet type
1/2-inch on most walls. 5/8-inch on many ceilings. Type X only if the listing asks for it. Moisture-resistant board in a bath that is not the shower. Board types →
Metal studs if specified
Light-gauge framing and hang on one crew when the Berkeley plan says steel. Beams that hold the building up are another trade. Metal vs wood →
