Drywall Installation in San Diego
Drywall has been part of my family for decades. I grew up around it, learned it hands-on, and saw early on what good work looks like — and what rushed work turns into later.
I took a different path for a while and earned a business degree at SDSU, but the goal was always the same: take what I learned and apply it to the trade my family built. SGP Drywall exists so we can do drywall work on our own terms — with clear communication, fair pricing, and full responsibility for the finished product.
Today, we focus heavily on drywall installation across San Diego. Custom homes, ADUs, remodels, multi-family projects, and commercial spaces. Our team structure is intentional. We work with experienced installers and finishers we trust, which allows us to scale when needed while staying hands-on and involved on every job.
We’re not trying to be the biggest drywall company in San Diego. We’re focused on being dependable, organized, and easy to work with. The kind of drywall contractor people call again because the process felt simple and the work held up.
We’re grateful for every project we’re trusted with. Most of our work comes from repeat clients, referrals, and builders who keep us involved because they know what to expect when we’re on the job.
EXCELLENT Based on 110 reviews Posted on Simon StricklandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SGP Drywall removed the old knockdown texture in our home and finished everything smooth. They recommended a standard smooth instead of a level 5, explaining it would be overkill, and the results came out great. They started right after we closed escrow, finished ahead of schedule, and left the place clean. I wasn’t sure what to expect going from texture to smooth, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. the colors really pop with smooth walls.Posted on Rachael RensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hector from SGP Drywall did a beautiful drywall patch where a wall heater was removed in our home. Very professional and detail oriented to making sure the texture matched the other walls.Posted on Michael MossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Edgar with SGP Drywall was a pleasure to work with. The job required drywalling a large opening in a hall wall, replacing the house intake vent grille used for a heater and air conditioner. A new larger vent was installed. His drywall installation was superior, so much so that a guest would not not a vent had previously been located on in the hall wall. Edgar demonstrated excellent communications during the repair. I would highly recommend his 5 star work.Posted on Rob WalshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We appreciate you.Posted on Glenda CruzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Edgar was on time. He was wearing a shoe cover going inside the house which I appreciate. He also prepped the area good so that the dirt would be contained. There was one small area in the attic entrance that needed painting. I asked him to spray it with dry wall so I dont need to paint it. He did it without any complaint. He was polite and professional.

2. We Reach Out for a Few Key Details
When I contact you, I’ll usually ask for your zip code, whether it’s one repair, multiple areas, or a larger project like water damage reconstruction. I’ll also ask for a few pictures so we can start understanding the scope.

Who We Are & How We Work
SGP Drywall is run by someone who learned drywall from the ground up — not by reading plans, but by walking job sites.
Before there was a company, there was sheet counting. Understanding how many boards a job actually needs. Looking at layouts, ceiling heights, access, stocking logistics, and figuring out what helps production and what slows it down. That mindset never went away. To this day, job walks matter, because drywall installation lives or dies in the details before the first sheet goes up.
The trade itself came first. The systems came later. After growing up around drywall and seeing how jobs really run, I pursued formal education and earned a business degree from SDSU. That’s where the structure came from — how to organize crews, price work responsibly, and build something sustainable without losing control of quality.
SGP Drywall is built on that balance. Practical field knowledge paired with real planning. The company operates with trusted tradesmen who’ve been part of this industry for years, allowing us to staff and scale projects properly without sacrificing oversight.
Over time, that approach has carried across every type of project — custom and luxury homes, hotels, hospitals, retirement communities, large multi-family developments, and downtown commercial buildings. Different environments, same expectations: clear coordination, realistic production, and drywall installed the right way.
We don’t rely on volume or shortcuts. We rely on understanding how drywall actually works on a job site — and running the work accordingly.

What People Are Asking
How much drywall do you need for a room?
Use our cost calculator! Simply enter the room’s dimensions, and it’ll estimate how much drywall you need in square feet or by the sheet.
How long does it take to install drywall in a house?
For a standard-sized home, installation typically takes 2–5 days, depending on the size, the number of rooms, and the amount of mudding and sanding required.
What's the difference between gypsum board and drywall?
They’re the same thing! Gypsum board is the technical name; drywall and sheetrock are the standard terms.
Can you install drywall over old drywall?
Yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing drywall. Sometimes removing old panels is better for long-term durability.
What's included in finishing work?
Taping, mudding, sanding, and applying corner beads for a smooth final surface.
How thick should drywall be for walls and ceilings?
Standard thickness is 1/2 inch for walls and 5/8 inch for ceilings or soundproof areas.
Do you handle patch jobs, too?
Yes! While we specialize in full installs, we’re happy to patch small areas as part of remodeling or repair work.
What kind of drywall should you use for bathrooms?
Moisture-resistant drywall or “green board” is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and any area with high humidity.
Do you follow local building codes?
Absolutely. We ensure every project we complete complies with local building regulations and best practices.
Do you need to be home during installation?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access and a clear scope of work, our crew can handle the job with minimal disruption.
