Who We Are

The Brooklyn Drywall Specialists

Brooklyn Elite Drywall has spent 20+ years hanging, finishing, and repairing walls and ceilings across this borough, from the pre-war brownstones of Park Slope to the attached row houses of Bath Beach and Bensonhurst, where the plaster is often original and the walls are rarely square. With drywall, anyone can get a wall mostly flat. The difference between mostly flat and truly flat is the final coat, and the final coat is what we obsess over. Our crews hang 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board, moisture-resistant green board, and mold-resistant panels, then tape, mud, and sand to a clean Level-4 finish, or a glass-smooth Level-5 when the light in a room calls for it.

We handle the jobs most Brooklyn homeowners struggle to find a real specialist for: popcorn ceiling removal, skim coating over tired pre-war plaster, nail-pop and crack repair, corner-bead replacement, and soundproofing between attached units. The most underrated fix in this borough is a full skim coat. People assume a wavy, patched-up wall has to be torn out, when a skim coat over sound plaster gets you a flat, paint-ready surface for a fraction of the cost, and a hundred-year-old room looks new again once the light stops catching every old ripple. Because drywall is the only thing we do, we finish faster and cleaner than a general contractor juggling ten trades, and we stand behind every seam we close.

Our Services

The Brooklyn Drywall Specialists

Residential, commercial, and specialty finishing — drywall is all we do.

01

Drywall Installation

New-wall and ceiling drywall installation using 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch panels, screwed to wood or metal studs at 12–16 inches on center, with joints staggered and fastened to code.

02

Drywall & Sheetrock Repair

Patching holes, cracks, nail pops, and water-damaged sections: cut out, backed, taped with mesh or paper tape, and blended into the surrounding wall so the repair disappears under paint.

03

Skim Coating

Full skim coats over rough, textured, or damaged plaster to create a flat, paint-ready surface, the fix for pre-war Brooklyn walls that have taken decades of wear.

04

Taping & Finishing

Three-coat taping with joint compound, feathered and sanded to a Level-4 finish for most rooms or a Level-5 finish for walls under raking light and high-gloss paint.

05

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Scraping and skimming outdated popcorn (acoustic) ceilings to a smooth finish, with dust containment and, where required, testing before removal.

06

Water Damage Drywall Repair

Removing saturated gypsum board and insulation after leaks, drying the cavity, and rebuilding with moisture-resistant board to stop mold before it starts.

07

Ceiling Drywall Installation

Hanging and finishing ceiling board, including 5/8-inch sag-resistant panels for wider joist spacing and clean, crack-free ceiling lines.

08

Insulation & Soundproofing

Acoustic assemblies using resilient channel, mineral wool, and damping compound to cut noise between units, a common need in Brooklyn's attached and multi-family homes.

09

Metal & Wood Stud Framing

Framing new partitions and closets with metal studs or wood, ready for board, so we can take a project from open space to finished room in one crew.

01

Office & Retail Build-Outs

Partition framing, drywall, and Level-4 finishing for offices and storefronts, coordinated to your buildout schedule.

02

Restaurant & Kitchen Walls

Moisture- and mold-resistant board and fire-rated assemblies for commercial kitchens and back-of-house areas.

03

Fire-Rated Assemblies

Type X and Type C fire-rated drywall systems installed to the assembly's listed rating for corridors, demising walls, and shafts.

01

Level-5 Smooth Finish

A full skim coat over the entire surface, the finish that eliminates flashing and joint shadowing under LED and natural light.

02

Moisture & Mold-Resistant Board

Green board and paperless mold-resistant panels for bathrooms, basements, and below-grade Brooklyn spaces.

03

Soundproof (Acoustic) Walls

STC-rated assemblies with resilient channel, mass-loaded barriers, and damping compound between the layers of board.

Drywall is all we do.

Our Process

How It Works

1

Free on-site estimate

We measure, assess the substrate, and give you a clear written quote, usually within the same week.

2

Prep & protection

We mask floors and fixtures and set up dust containment before any cutting begins.

3

Hang, tape & finish

Board goes up to code, then a three-coat finish sanded to your chosen level.

4

Walkthrough & cleanup

We walk every seam with you under a work light; if we can spot it, we fix it before we call it done. The finish isn't finished until it disappears under paint. Then we haul away all the debris.

Reviews

What Brooklyn Homeowners Say

★★★★★
They skim-coated our whole living room after we pulled down old wallpaper and the walls look brand new. Smooth, no seams showing, and they cleaned up better than they found it.
Marissa D. · July 2026
★★★★★
Had water damage in a bedroom ceiling. They cut it out, dried it, and put up moisture-resistant board same week. Fair price and you can't tell anything ever happened.
Anthony R. · June 2026
★★★★★
Removed the popcorn ceilings in two rooms and finished them Level 5. Under the new lights they're perfectly smooth. Professional crew, showed up on time both days.
Priya S. · June 2026
★★★★★
We needed a new partition wall and closet framed and boarded. One crew did framing through finish in two days. Exactly what I wanted: no juggling three contractors.

FAQ

Common Questions

What's the difference between a Level-4 and Level-5 drywall finish?
A Level-4 finish, the standard for most walls and ceilings, has the taped joints and fasteners coated and sanded. A Level-5 finish adds a thin skim coat over the entire surface, eliminating the slight texture difference between the compound and the paper. If you have big windows or you're going with a dark, high-gloss paint, Level 5 is worth it: under raking light, a Level-4 wall will eventually show its joints. For most bedrooms and hallways, Level 4 is the right, cost-effective call.
How much does drywall installation cost in Brooklyn?
Most residential drywall work in Brooklyn is priced by the square foot of board hung and finished, plus any framing, insulation, or demo. As a rough guide from the jobs we quote most weeks: a single-room patch or small repair usually runs a few hundred dollars; a full room hung and finished to Level 4 typically lands somewhere around $1,200–$3,500 depending on ceiling height and how much prep the old walls need; and a Level-5 skim adds to that, since it's a full extra coat over everything. Those are ballparks. The real number comes after we measure on site, and we always put it in writing with no surprises.
Can you match the texture on my existing walls?
Yes. For repairs we blend the patch into the surrounding finish, and for textured or skip-troweled walls we match the pattern before priming so the repair disappears under paint.
Do you handle popcorn ceiling removal?
We do. We scrape the acoustic texture, skim the ceiling smooth, and contain the dust throughout. On older ceilings we recommend testing before removal, and we can advise on the right approach for your home.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Brooklyn Elite Drywall is fully licensed and insured for both residential and commercial drywall work throughout Brooklyn and the surrounding boroughs.
How soon can you start?
We typically provide estimates within the same week and can often schedule small repairs within days. Larger installations are scheduled around your renovation timeline.
