Drywall & framing · Kitchener-Waterloo
A real Kitchener renovation.
Framing to drywall.
In June 2026, Joel framed, insulated and boarded the main floor of a home in Kitchener. He installed resilient channel on the ceiling before boarding it, for a flatter finish and better soundproofing. Here is what that job looked like.

What the general contractor said.
Joel was a key part of our renovation. He communicated well and was honest and hard-working throughout. He suggested resilient channel for our main-floor ceiling, and it's the reason the ceiling came out so flat and clean. He also did our insulation, which made a huge difference for soundproofing. Professional through and through.
Matt H. · General contractor on this projectJoel has helped me several times with different renovations, demolition and framing, and I would highly recommend him! I called him last minute a couple times and he was able to help us out. He also is well connected with other trades. Really nice guy as well!

We had JW Drywall complete the framing and drywall and mudding taping in our kitchen including insulation. Great job! I'm very impressed with the speed and quality of work!

Project questions
A clear scope starts here.
Do you serve both Kitchener and Waterloo?
Yes. JW considers drywall and framing projects in both cities from its base in Fergus. Select the actual job city in your request so Joel can review the location and scope.
Can a general contractor request a quote?
Yes. Send the scope, project stage, site contact and target timing. If you have plans or a room schedule, mention them in your request and share them when Joel follows up.
Can you quote boarding and taping separately?

What affects the cost of framing and drywall?
The amount of wall and ceiling area, access, ceiling height, bulkheads, connections to existing surfaces and the finish required all affect the scope. Also explain which stages are already complete. Joel reviews the project details before confirming a price in writing.
