What We Do
About Our Drywall & Taping Service
Drywall is the canvas for every finish in your home, and taping is what makes it disappear. Our drywall service covers the full scope — hanging and installing sheetrock, embedding tape over every joint, applying and feathering multiple coats of compound, and sanding to a smooth, uniform, paint-ready surface. As your drywall contractor, we handle new builds, additions, and full-room finishes end to end.
We also fix what's already there: drywall repair for holes, cracks, and water damage; skim coating to resurface tired or textured walls to a glass-smooth level-five finish; and popcorn ceiling removal to modernize a dated room. Skilled hands, quality compound, and meticulous, dust-controlled sanding mean your walls are ready for paint and built to last.
How We Do It
Our Drywall & Taping Process
- 1
Assessment & Prep
We inspect the space, hang or repair sheetrock as needed, protect floors and fixtures, and set fasteners for a clean finish.
- 2
Tape & First Coat
We embed tape over every seam and corner, then apply the first coat of joint compound to lock it in.
- 3
Build & Skim Coat
We feather additional coats and skim-coat where needed so seams and texture vanish into a flat, uniform wall.
- 4
Sand & Inspect
We sand to a smooth, dust-controlled finish and inspect under raking light so your walls are perfectly paint-ready.
Why Choose Us
Why Homeowners Choose Us for Drywall
Drywall and taping look simple and are anything but — poor work telegraphs through every coat of paint and every raking light. Homeowners trust Theo's because we treat finishing as a craft: proper sheetrock installation, feathered seams, true skim coating, and a genuinely flat surface.
You get clean corners, invisible joints, honest pricing, and a respectful crew that contains dust and cleans up completely — whether it's a single drywall repair or a whole-home sheetrock and skim-coat package. The result is a wall that looks like it was always meant to be there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drywall & Taping
Do you install sheetrock, or only tape it?
Both. We hang and install sheetrock for new rooms, additions, and repairs, then tape, coat, and sand it to a paint-ready finish — a complete drywall contractor service.
What is skim coating and do I need it?
Skim coating applies a thin layer of compound over an entire wall to erase texture, patch damage, and create a glass-smooth level-five surface. It's ideal for resurfacing old, uneven, or previously textured walls before painting.
Can you repair holes, cracks, or water damage?
Yes. Drywall repair is one of our most-requested services — we cut out and replace damaged board, re-tape, skim, and blend the repair so it disappears into the surrounding wall.
Do you remove popcorn ceilings?
We do. We scrape and skim-coat popcorn ceilings to a smooth finish, containing dust throughout and leaving the ceiling ready for paint.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate. Call (917) 455-1583 or send us the details through the form and we'll walk your space, discuss your goals, and give you honest, itemized pricing.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the greater New York City area, and Connecticut. Theo's Home Improvement Services is proud to serve all areas — if you're in the five boroughs or nearby Connecticut, we can help.
Are you insured, and will you protect my home?
Absolutely. We treat every home with respect — floors and furniture are covered, dust is contained, and we clean up thoroughly when the work is done. You'll never be left with a mess.
How much will my project cost?
Cost depends on the size of the space, materials, and how much prep is involved. After we see the job, we provide a transparent, upfront estimate with no surprises and options to fit your budget.
