Drywall Repair & Installation in Tampa Bay, FL
Water damage, ceiling collapse, renovation cutouts, or new construction - we take drywall from rough opening to paint-ready surface. Residential and commercial.
Drywall is behind nearly every wall and ceiling in your home or commercial space - which means when something goes wrong, the damage is usually visible and personal. Whether it's a water stain from a roof leak, a section cut out for plumbing work, a damaged ceiling, or a full gut-renovation requiring new installation, getting the repair right means matching textures, hitting the right finish level, and leaving a surface your painter can be proud of.
Coastal Elite Finishes handles the full scope of drywall work across Tampa Bay - from patching a single hole to hanging, taping, mudding, and finishing thousands of square feet on a commercial build-out. Our crews are experienced with all finish levels, from basic Level 3 for utility spaces to Level 5 skim coat for high-gloss or premium residential installations.
Florida homes deal with more drywall damage than most markets. Roof leaks, plumbing failures, high humidity, and hurricane damage all take a toll. When water gets into drywall, the damage isn't always visible until mold has established behind the surface. We identify the source of the moisture, remove damaged sections completely, treat any mold or mildew before closing the wall, and finish to match the surrounding surface.
For GCs and commercial contractors, we're a reliable sub who can hit your schedule. We work on multi-unit residential buildings, office renovations, retail build-outs, and industrial spaces. We document progress, coordinate with other trades, and don't leave your job in a state that holds up the next phase.
What's Included
How We Work
Assessment and Moisture Check
We inspect the damaged area, check for moisture behind the drywall, and identify the source. We won't close a wall until we're confident the source is resolved.
Removal and Prep
Damaged sections are cut out cleanly. Backing is installed where needed. Mold or mildew is treated per Florida building guidelines before new material goes in.
Hanging and Fastening
New drywall is hung, fastened to code, and joints are properly blocked. We use the correct drywall type for each application - moisture-resistant in bathrooms, fire-rated for commercial.
Tape, Mud, and Sand
We apply tape, multiple coats of joint compound, and sand to a smooth surface. Finish level is confirmed with you before we start - Level 3, 4, or 5 depending on your application.
Texture and Prime
Texture is applied to match the surrounding surface. We can prime the repaired area or hand off to your painter depending on scope.
