When the job’s done, your walls are smooth. Not “good enough for now” smooth—actually ready for whatever finish you’re putting on them.
You’re not dealing with callbacks or touch-ups three months later because the seams are cracking. The taping and mudding work is done with the right materials and enough coats to actually last. Most homeowners in Hatboro are working with older homes where the bones are solid but the interiors need updating—and that means the drywall finishing services need to be just as solid.
What you end up with is a surface that doesn’t telegraph every imperfection through your paint. The kind of finish where you’re not second-guessing whether you should’ve hired someone else halfway through the project.
Sharpe Drywall exists because too many homeowners in Montgomery and Bucks County were getting burned by contractors who left messes, missed deadlines, or delivered work with visible gaps and seams. We decided to do it differently.
We’re locally owned, fully licensed and insured, and we handle drywall installation and finishing across Hatboro and the surrounding area. The same attention goes into every job—whether it’s a single room repair or a full-home renovation. Hatboro’s housing stock is competitive, with most homes owner-occupied and well-maintained, so when you’re investing in your property, the work needs to reflect that.
You’re hiring people who show up, do what we said we’d do, and leave your home cleaner than we found it.
First, we come out and look at what you’re working with. We measure, assess the condition of existing surfaces if it’s a repair, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. You get transparent pricing upfront—no surprises halfway through.
Once we’re on-site, we handle the prep work. That means protecting your floors and furniture, because drywall dust gets everywhere if you’re not careful. Then comes the installation or repair, followed by taping, mudding, and sanding. We use multiple coats where needed, not the bare minimum. Each layer gets time to dry properly before we move to the next.
The final step is cleanup. We don’t leave you with a job site to deal with. By the time we’re done, your walls are smooth, the space is clean, and you’re ready to move forward with paint or whatever finish you’ve planned. Most repairs are finished in a day. Larger projects get scheduled with realistic timelines so you know exactly when we’ll be there and when we’ll be done.

You’re getting full drywall finishing services in Hatboro, PA—installation, taping, mudding, sanding, and repair work all handled under one roof. We’re not subbing out parts of the job or handing you off to someone else mid-project.
The materials we use are built to last. That means quality joint compound, proper tape, and the right fasteners for your wall type. Hatboro homes range from historic builds to newer construction, and each one has different needs. Older plaster walls require a different approach than standard drywall, and we adjust our methods accordingly.
If you’re dealing with cracks, holes, or water damage, we assess the underlying issue before we patch it. There’s no point in covering up a problem that’s going to come back in six months. And if you’re finishing new construction or an addition, we make sure every seam is invisible and every corner is crisp. The goal is walls that don’t draw attention to themselves—they just look right.
Most drywall finishing in Hatboro, PA runs between $2.00 and $3.50 per square foot, depending on the scope of the project and the condition of the existing surfaces. A standard bedroom repair might cost a few hundred dollars, while finishing an entire home addition will obviously be more.
What affects the price is how much prep work is involved, how many coats of mud are needed, and whether we’re working around obstacles like electrical boxes or uneven framing. If you’re dealing with older plaster that needs patching before we can even start taping, that adds time and materials.
We give you a fixed price upfront so there’s no guessing. You’ll know what the job costs before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope of the work.
A single room repair—patching holes, retaping seams, or fixing cracks—usually gets done in one day. That includes all the coats of mud, sanding, and cleanup.
Larger projects take longer because each coat of joint compound needs time to dry before you can sand it and apply the next one. A full-home finishing job might take several days, depending on the square footage and how many rooms we’re working in. We don’t rush the drying process because that’s how you end up with cracks and seams that show through paint later.
If you’re on a tight timeline, we’ll work with you to schedule the project in a way that minimizes disruption. Most homeowners in Hatboro are balancing work and family schedules, so we’re flexible about when we’re on-site and how we stage the work.
Taping is the first step after drywall sheets are hung. We apply paper or mesh tape over the seams where two sheets meet, and then cover that tape with a layer of joint compound. The tape reinforces the seam so it doesn’t crack over time.
Mudding is the process of applying multiple coats of joint compound over the tape and fasteners to create a smooth, even surface. The first coat embeds the tape. The second coat widens the seam and starts to blend it into the wall. The third coat feathers everything out so there’s no visible line or bump.
Between each coat, we sand down any ridges or imperfections. It’s a repetitive process, but it’s the only way to get a finish that doesn’t show through paint. Skipping coats or rushing the drying time is how you end up with seams that crack or dimples over screw heads.
Yes. If you’re repairing a section of wall and the rest of the room has a specific texture—knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel—we can match it so the repair blends in.
Matching texture takes a little more time because we have to replicate the pattern and density of the existing finish. We’ll do a test spot first to make sure it looks right before we apply it to the entire repair area. Most Hatboro homes have either smooth walls or a light knockdown texture, both of which are straightforward to match.
If your walls are older and the texture has settled or faded over time, we’ll talk through your options. Sometimes it makes more sense to refinish the entire wall so everything looks consistent, especially if the existing texture is outdated or uneven.
We handle both. If you’re adding a room, finishing a basement, or replacing damaged sections of drywall, we’ll hang the sheets, tape the seams, mud everything smooth, and leave you with walls ready for paint.
Installation involves measuring and cutting the drywall to fit your space, securing it to the studs with the right fasteners, and making sure everything is level and flush. Then we move into the finishing process—taping, mudding, sanding, and final smoothing.
Some contractors only do installation and leave the finishing to someone else, which means you’re coordinating multiple people and hoping the work lines up. We do it all under one roof so there’s no gap in communication or quality. You’re working with the same crew from start to finish.
Move small items and anything breakable out of the room if you can. We’ll handle the heavy furniture and cover everything that’s staying, but it’s easier for everyone if fragile items are already out of the way.
If we’re working in a space with flooring you want to protect—hardwood, tile, new carpet—we’ll lay down drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Drywall dust is fine and gets into everything, so we take that part seriously. Make sure pets are secured in another part of the house, especially if they’re curious or anxious around strangers.
Other than that, just make sure we have clear access to the work area and any electrical panels or water shutoffs in case we need them. If there’s anything specific about your home we should know—low doorways, tight staircases, alarm systems—let us know when we schedule the job so we can plan accordingly.
