Talk to the Owner, Not a Call Center
Ron Hogan Drywall is family-owned and operated. These are the questions homeowners, builders, and property managers ask most before they hire us for drywall installation, repair, finishing, metal framing, or QuietRock in the Bay Area and Northern California.
Estimates and Getting Started
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. We give free, no-obligation quotes for drywall and framing jobs. Call or text (925) 791-9099. A rough room size or square footage, plus photos, helps us estimate faster.
What should I send to get an estimate?
Your name, city, whether it is a home or commercial job, what you need (repair, new drywall, texture, framing, soundproofing, or ceiling work), approximate size, and a few photos of the wall or framing.
How fast can you come look at the job?
Same-day or next-day estimates in most cases. Hours are Monday–Friday 6:00 AM–5:00 PM and Saturday–Sunday 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.
License, Insurance, and Company
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Ron Hogan Drywall is licensed through the California Contractors State License Board and carries insurance, including liability and workers’ compensation.
What is your license number?
CSLB license number 265709. You can verify it on the California CSLB website.

Do you back your work?
Yes. We stand behind the work with a 12-month warranty. If something is not right, we make it right.
Services and Project Types
Do you work on homes and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work with homeowners, general contractors, property managers, and commercial clients on repairs, remodels, new construction, and tenant improvements.
What services do you offer besides hanging drywall?
Taping, mudding, sanding, texture matching, Level 4 and Level 5 smooth finishes, metal stud framing, QuietRock and RC channel soundproofing, popcorn ceiling removal, fire-rated assemblies, moisture-resistant drywall, and paint prep. See all services →
Can you match my existing texture?
Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth walls, and other common finishes so a repair or new section blends with the rest of the room.
What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5?
Level 4 is a standard smooth finish for most painted interiors. Level 5 is a flatter, more critical finish for bright lighting, dark paint, or high-end rooms where seams would show.
Do you install QuietRock or soundproofing?
Yes. We install QuietRock soundproof drywall and resilient channel systems for bedrooms, offices, multifamily walls, and commercial rooms that need more privacy. QuietRock details →
What is purple drywall?
Purple board is moisture-resistant drywall for damp rooms like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas. It resists mold better than standard drywall, but it is not waterproof. Good ventilation still matters.
Timeline, Cleanup, and Schedule
How long will my drywall project take?
A small patch can be a day. A full room, garage, or commercial area can take several days to a week or more. We give you a timeline after we see the job. Clearing furniture and access helps us finish faster.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We clean up after the job and haul away debris. Drywall dust still travels, so covering nearby furniture is smart. We work clean in occupied homes and offices.
Can you work around my schedule or on weekends?
We do our best to work around your availability, including weekends when possible. Saturday and Sunday hours are 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.
How should I prepare before you arrive?
Move furniture away from the work wall, take down wall hangings, and give us a clear path in. For garages or additions, keep the area open. Photos before the visit also help.
