Straight answers, clean finish work, and a quote path that keeps things simple.
After 35 years in the trade, Gary handles the full interior wall scope — framing, insulation, boarding, taping, and popcorn ceiling removal — so one trade carries the job instead of three. Send the job location, what stage the space is at, and a few photos, and Gary will tell you exactly what needs to happen before paint.
Whether it's a basement going from bare studs to finished rooms or a single ceiling that needs the popcorn gone, the job gets quoted by the person who does the work.

Every stage between bare studs and the painter showing up.
- 1 Framing Interior and basement framing: new walls, bulkheads, and layout changes built straight and square.
- 2 Insulation Batt insulation and vapour barrier installed to code before the walls close up.
- 3 Boarding Drywall hung clean and tight on walls, ceilings, and bulkheads, set up for a fast, flat finish.
- 4 Taping & Finishing Joint taping, compound coats, corner bead, and sanding until walls disappear under paint.
- 5 Popcorn Ceiling Removal Dust-free popcorn ceiling removal, followed by skimming and a smooth refinish, a cleaner way to modernize the room without the usual cleanup nightmare.
One trade, one quote, from framing to paint-ready. No coordinating three different contractors.
Real jobs, every stage of the build.
From insulated stud walls to ceilings that read dead flat under light. These are Gary's own projects.
One basement, carried studs to paint-ready. The same room at each stage:
