Commercial and industrial drywall contractor in Richmond Hill

Based in Richmond Hill

True Drywall Contracting works out of 172 Wildwood Ave in Richmond Hill. That matters more than it sounds. Site walks happen quickly, a forgotten detail is a short drive rather than a scheduled trip, and deficiency and warranty visits do not get pushed to the end of the month.

Richmond Hill has a steady commercial workload of its own: the office and industrial buildings in the Beaver Creek and Headford business parks at Highway 7, Leslie and the 404, the medical and professional buildings around the hospital on Major Mackenzie, and retail along Yonge Street from Hillcrest Mall north to Oak Ridges.

• Office and tenant fit-outs in the Highway 7, Leslie and 404 business parks
• Medical, dental and professional suites, including rated corridors and sound separation
• Retail and restaurant build-outs along Yonge Street and in the plaza network
• Demising walls and office pods in industrial units
• Corridors, suites and amenity rooms in multi unit buildings
• T-bar and acoustic ceilings across all of it

What a local subcontractor changes

Every drywall subcontractor says it can meet the schedule. Being based in the city is the part that makes it true. It also changes how we price: a Richmond Hill bid does not carry mobilization for a second visit, because a second visit is a ten minute drive.

1. A site walk within days, because the drive is short
2. Material staged from our own base rather than shipped to a remote job
3. Short return visits for deficiencies and punch list items, without waiting for a full crew day
4. Warranty calls answered by the same people who built the wall

Multi unit work along Yonge Street

Richmond Hill's growth is stacking up along Yonge Street, from the Richmond Hill Centre lands at Highway 7 north through the mid rise and condominium sites coming forward between Highway 7 and Elgin Mills. Multi unit drywall is a different rhythm from an office fit-out: the same suite layout repeated floor after floor, corridors and shaft walls that carry a fire rating, and party walls between units that have to meet a sound rating as well as the fire listing.

• Suite demising and party walls built to the listed fire and STC assembly
• Rated corridors, shaft walls and stair enclosures documented before the second layer goes on
• Amenity rooms, lobbies and party rooms finished to Level 5 where the lighting demands it
• Floor by floor sequencing so the trades behind us keep moving

On a repeating floor plate the bid is only as good as the typical floor takeoff. We price from the unit plans and the wall type schedule and state the count of each partition type per floor, so a change to one unit type reprices cleanly.

The wider York Region run

From Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, Aurora and Newmarket are short runs, and Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton are daily trips. The scope is the same everywhere: steel stud framing, boarding, taping, finishing and ceilings, self performed under one contract.
