Board hung and finished over open framing for additions, basements, garages, and full remodels. Panel selection is part of the job, not an afterthought — moisture-resistant where humidity collects, Type X where a rated assembly is required — and the target finish level is agreed before the first sheet is lifted.
Holes, popped fasteners, opened seams, and damaged panels cut out, patched, textured, and primed. Small damage is a single visit. Anything larger gets cut back to solid framing so the patch has something real to fasten to instead of bridging across tired board.
Sagging, cracked, or stained ceilings repaired or reboarded after the framing and fastener pattern overhead have been checked. A ceiling is viewed from across the room in flat light, which is the least forgiving condition there is for a texture match, so matching gets tested before it goes up.
Damaged board removed, replaced, and refinished once the leak or intrusion is stopped and the cavity has dried out. The first task is finding the real edge of the damage, because gypsum draws moisture upward well past the stain. Plumbing repair and mold remediation belong to other trades.
Taping, coating, and sanding taken to the level the space calls for. Level 4 handles most walls under flat or eggshell paint. Level 5 skim-coats the entire surface and earns its keep under gloss, or in a lakefront room where low winter sun comes through a window and travels straight down the wall.
Knockdown, orange peel, and smooth finishes sprayed fresh or matched into existing work. The existing texture is sampled and test-sprayed on scrap to dial in thinning and pressure, because a patch a shade too heavy stays visible for as long as the paint lasts.
Texture scraped off, the ceiling reskimmed or reboarded, and a smooth or knockdown finish applied. Given how much of Kenosha's housing predates the mid-1980s, asbestos testing before scraping isn't a formality here — it's the step that sets the schedule.
Sound plaster patched and skim-coated, failed plaster converted to board where the lath has let go behind it. This is the downtown and Library Park job — roughly a quarter of the housing in Kenosha's older core predates 1940, and plaster meeting new board needs a skim coat across the joint to read as one wall.
Tape bedded into wet compound, corner bead set true, then fill and finish coats each feathered wider than the last. Compound is picked for the job the coat is doing — grab where the tape has to hold, sandability where the surface will be seen — and nothing goes over a coat that hasn't dried through.
Board taken out and replaced where patching has run out of road: a wall carrying its fourth repair in the same three feet, panel softened by a basement water event, or a ceiling that has sagged past recovery. Includes removal, disposal, a look at the framing behind it, and finishing back into what stays.
Lower levels framed, boarded and finished with the below-grade questions answered first. Rigid foam against the block, framing held off the concrete, unfaced batts in the cavity, and moisture-resistant panel — decisions that carry extra weight a mile from Lake Michigan, where summer dew points sit high and basements stay cool enough to condense.
Office, retail, restaurant, and clinic drywall installed against requirements a house never faces: fire-rated assemblies, sound ratings between tenant spaces, and finish schedules set by an architect. Sequencing works around the trades already booked ahead of and behind it.
Corridor, storefront, and ceiling damage repaired around operating hours rather than during them. Work can run after close or in staged phases so part of a space stays usable while the rest is patched, textured, and primed.
Level 4 and Level 5 finish schedules taped, coated, and sanded to written spec for offices, retail build-outs, and healthcare space. When a finish level is called out in the documents, it gets delivered as specified rather than approximated under temporary lighting.
Partition walls, office improvements, and retail build-outs framed and finished on a general contractor's schedule. Coordinated around electrical, HVAC, and fire-suppression rough-in so board is never the trade that delays an inspection.
Light-gauge steel partitions framed and boarded for commercial interiors along the I-94 corridor and through the business parks west of the city. Gauge follows wall height and what the wall has to carry, deflection gets detailed where a partition meets a moving deck, and rated assemblies are built to the listed detail.
Every service above is available across Kenosha & Racine Counties and Northern Lake County, IL. Each city below has its own page, because the housing stock changes faster here than the drive time does — Racine runs a 1953 median build year with about a third of its homes predating 1940, while Gurnee’s median is 1992 and almost nothing there is plaster. That difference decides the method before anyone picks up a knife.
