Flawless Drywall Installation, Repair, and Finishing
Serving Sarasota & Surrounding Areas
Professional Drywall Installation
From framing inspection to flawless finish
River Rock Painting & Drywall starts every project with a detailed walkthrough and substrate inspection to ensure straight lines, proper backing, and clean transitions. We help you select the right materials for each space—standard gypsum, Type X fire-rated panels, moisture- and mold-resistant boards, cement backer for wet areas, and sound-attenuating options. Our team plans for soffits, niches, arches, curved walls, reveals, and level transitions so everything integrates cleanly with trim and fixtures.
We follow best practices for board orientation, fastener spacing, and seam layout to minimize joints and reduce telegraphing. Corners and edges are protected with premium beads—paper-faced, vinyl, or metal—in square, bullnose, or architectural profiles. Where required, we add control joints, use adhesives, or install resilient channels for sound assemblies. Jobsite protection, daily cleanups, and clear communication keep your home or jobsite orderly from start to finish.
Invisible results for damage of any size
From nail pops and settlement cracks to large holes and water damage, our technicians restore your surfaces to like-new condition. We isolate the affected area, check moisture levels, remove compromised material, add proper backing, and use setting-type compounds for strong, fast-curing repairs. Dust is contained with plastic barriers and HEPA filtration, and we sand with vacuum-assisted tools for a cleaner workspace.
Texture and sheen matching are critical for a seamless repair. We replicate orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth finishes, then prime and paint to blend the repair into the surrounding area. For insurance claims, we can document damage and scope; for occupied spaces, we provide flexible scheduling and minimal disruption. All work is warrantied for workmanship.
Level 5 finishes and custom textures that elevate spaces
We deliver the full spectrum of drywall finish levels, from Level 0 for temporary closures to Level 5 for critical lighting and ultra-smooth surfaces. Level 4 is ideal for most walls, while Level 5 is recommended for long walls, ceilings, and areas receiving high-sheen or dark paints. Our team feathers joints wide, minimizes ridging, and checks surfaces under raking light to ensure professional results.
Choose from a range of textures—light to heavy orange peel, fine to medium knockdown, skip trowel, Santa Fe, or custom hand-troweled designs. We also remove acoustic popcorn, perform full skim coats for contemporary smooth walls, and install architectural beads and reveals for clean shadow lines and modern detailing.
Because our crews handle both drywall and paint, we control the full finish system: PVA or sealing primers on new gypsum, stain-blocking where needed, and properly back-rolled topcoats for uniform sheen. Coordinated scheduling reduces downtime between trades, speeds punch-list completion, and delivers a consistent, warrantied finish.
