Drywall is one of the most widely used systems in modern construction, and for good reason. Drywall offers speed, flexibility, and a clean finish in commercial and institutional settings like schools, hospitals, offices, and retail spaces.
At Grupo Contreras, we’ve spent years mastering drywall installation across projects in Tennessee and Georgia. Here’s what you need to know when choosing drywall for your next build.
Why Is Drywall So Popular in Commercial Jobs?
Because it’s faster, lighter, cleaner, and easier to coordinate with other trades. Unlike block or brick, drywall allows for quicker wall construction, seamless integration of systems, and easier repairs or upgrades.
Key Advantages:
● Speed: Installation is significantly faster than traditional methods.
● Modularity: Spaces can evolve—walls can be moved or modified easily.
● Technical Compatibility: Ideal for electrical, HVAC, and low-voltage integration.
● Smooth Finish: Perfect for paint, vinyl, or specialty coatings.
Common Drywall Applications in Commercial Settings
● Partition walls (single/double layer)
● Suspended ceilings
● Column and beam cladding
● Architectural features (niches, soffits, trays)
● Acoustic and thermal barriers (with specific internal layers)
Technical Requirements for a Professional Finish
A high-quality drywall job must include:
● Perfectly aligned framing
● Proper screw spacing and secure fastening
● Joint treatment using tape and multiple compound layers
● Controlled sanding to avoid waves or imperfections
● Precision around doors, windows, and built-ins
At Grupo Contreras, we follow strict technical standards and collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and other trades to ensure flawless execution.
Codes, Certifications, and Compliance
Institutional clients often require fire-rated assemblies, acoustic performance, and certified materials. We work with trusted suppliers and install systems that are compliant with ASTM, UL, and local building codes.
Our Experience in Commercial Drywall
We’ve installed thousands of square feet of drywall across diverse job types—many with tight timelines, occupied buildings, and strict oversight. Our approach: plan ahead, execute with care, and deliver beyond expectations.
