Pictures of Real Jobs
Recent SGP work across San Diego County — real projects, real finishes.
Drywall installation is more than hanging sheets.
A clean drywall job starts before the first sheet goes up. SGP was built by a drywall contractor who came up through the trade — a third-generation background, years in the field, and time running jobs as a foreman before starting the company. That field experience is why residential work runs the way it does here: clear estimates, organized scheduling, and straight answers before the work starts.
SGP residential · owner-builder
- Built for homeowners & owner-builders — not tract volume
- Talk directly with the owner, start to finish
- Clear scope and line-item thinking, not lump sums
- Stock, protect, hang, finish, clean — the whole sequence
- Flexible around inspections & design changes
Large enough to scale. Small enough to stay personal.
Owner-builders need more than hangers. They need a plan.
If you're building or remodeling your own home, you don't need a production company's process. You need someone who will look at your plans, give you a real sheet count, and explain what's included before anything gets ordered.
Owner-builders need clarity, not vague pricing.
From sheet count to final cleanup.
Drywall installation isn't one task — it's a managed scope. Here's what we plan, coordinate, and handle on a typical residential job.
Not sure on quantities? Our drywall calculator helps you ballpark a sheet count before we talk. Labor-only or full material + labor — your call.
Built for the projects that need a real crew.
Residential drywall installers across San Diego County — crews sized and scheduled for how these projects actually run.
ADUs
Full hang-and-finish for detached and garage-conversion ADUs, coordinated around inspections.
Custom & Spec Homes
High ceilings, long sightlines, and finish levels that hold up in hard light.
Home Additions
New drywall tied cleanly into existing walls, with texture matched at the seams.
Remodels
Remodels don't run like new builds — strip, rehang, and finish around the other trades, with protection in place first.
Garage Conversions
From bare studs to finished living space, including insulation options.
Multifamily Units
Crew capacity to run buildings and unit turns on a schedule.
High & Vaulted Ceilings
Scaffolding, staging, and the right board for spans and heights.
New Construction
Plan-based sheet counts, stocking, and priority taping schedules.
A managed sequence, start to finish.
Good drywall is planned before it's taped. Every job runs the same organized order — so nothing gets skipped and nothing surprises you.
The right crew size for the job.
Crew size is set by schedule, access, and deadline — not by a fixed production process. Small jobs run lean; big jobs scale up.
How we size a job
- Smaller jobs (under ~200 sheets) run around a 5-man crew
- Typical jobs (~300 sheets) run around a 9-man crew
- Multifamily & larger scale up to 15 when needed
- Scheduling works around your inspections
- Deadlines drive the plan — not the other way around
Honest crew-size language. If a job needs five people, we send five — not fifteen.
Custom homes need a crew that understands details.
Finish work is where installation quality actually shows. These are the details we plan for and handle every week — not specialty add-ons.
Finish details we handle
- Level 4, Level 5 & smooth-wall finishes
- Orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel & imperfect smooth
- Bullnose, square bead, zip & reveal beads
- Black-window returns, niches & clean transitions
- Soundproofing: RC channel, Green Glue, rockwool
Moisture-resistant board in wet areas comes standard — not as an upsell.
Installation connects to everything else we do.
