You’re looking at walls with seams you can’t see and corners that actually meet cleanly. No gaps wide enough to stick a coin through. No obvious patches that show through two coats of paint. Just clean, smooth surfaces ready for whatever finish you’re planning.
Most drywall installation projects in Paradise and East Falls wrap up in a day. That includes hanging, taping, mudding, and the final cleanup. You’re not dealing with a crew that drags the job into next week or leaves half your furniture covered in dust.
The difference shows up when you’re not calling someone back to fix wavy seams or nail pops six months later. It shows up when your painter doesn’t have to spend extra time trying to hide someone else’s sloppy work. You’re getting walls installed the way they should’ve been from the start.
Sharpe Drywall exists because homeowners in Montgomery and Bucks County kept getting burned by contractors who’d disappear halfway through jobs or deliver work that looked worse than the original problem. We built this company to be the call you make when you actually want the job finished.
We’ve spent over a decade working in older Pennsylvania homes, which means we know how to handle the quirks that come with houses built in the 1940s and 50s. Paradise and East Falls have plenty of row houses and period estates with plaster walls, uneven framing, and non-standard dimensions. That’s not new territory for us.
You’re working with a locally owned team that’s fully licensed and insured. We live in the communities we serve, and we’re not interested in rushing through your project to get to the next one.
First, we measure your space and calculate exactly how much material you need. No guessing, no ordering extra sheets you’ll never use. We’re accounting for every cut, every corner, and any obstacles like electrical boxes or windows.
Next comes the actual installation. We hang each sheet, making sure it’s level and properly secured to your studs or framing. This is where experience with older homes matters—your walls might not be perfectly plumb, and your studs might not be spaced at standard intervals. We adjust for that instead of forcing materials into place and hoping it works out.
After the sheets are up, we tape and mud the seams. This takes multiple coats, with sanding between each one, to create a smooth transition you won’t see once it’s painted. We’re also handling corners, screw holes, and any spots that need extra attention. The goal is a uniform surface across your entire wall.
Finally, we clean up completely. That means vacuuming dust, removing scrap materials, and making sure you’re not finding drywall mud on your floors three days later. When we’re done, you’ve got walls ready for primer and paint.

Most homeowners in Paradise and East Falls invest between $1,000 and $3,000 for professional drywall installation, depending on room size and project scope. That covers materials, labor, and the expertise to handle whatever complications show up in older Pennsylvania homes.
You’re paying for premium materials that last. We use mold-resistant drywall in areas prone to moisture and professional-grade joint compound that won’t crack or shrink as it dries. Cheaper materials might save you money upfront, but they’ll cost more when you’re repairing failures a year later.
The cost also includes proper preparation and cleanup. We’re protecting your floors and furniture, containing dust during sanding, and removing all debris when we’re finished. You’re not renting a dumpster or spending your weekend hauling scrap to the curb.
In East Falls and Paradise, many homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, which means you’re likely dealing with plaster walls, outdated framing, or previous renovations that didn’t quite match the original construction. We know how to integrate new drywall with existing materials so everything looks cohesive. That’s not something every installer can handle, and it’s built into what you’re paying for.
Most residential drywall installation projects finish in one to three days, with a single room typically wrapping up in one day. That timeline includes hanging the sheets, applying multiple coats of joint compound, sanding between coats, and final cleanup.
Larger projects like finishing a basement or adding multiple rooms will take longer, but you’re still looking at days, not weeks. The main variable is drying time between coats of mud—each layer needs to cure before we can sand and apply the next one.
If your home has complications like extensive water damage, structural issues, or unusual layouts, that can extend the timeline. We’ll walk through your specific situation during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Older homes in Paradise and East Falls—especially those built before 1960—often have plaster walls, uneven framing, and studs that aren’t spaced at modern 16-inch intervals. That means you can’t just cut standard sheets and expect them to fit cleanly.
We’re also dealing with settling and movement that’s happened over decades. Your walls might not be perfectly plumb, your corners might not be true 90-degree angles, and your ceiling height might vary by an inch or more across a single room. Forcing drywall into place without accounting for these issues leads to cracks, gaps, and seams that show through paint.
We measure carefully, make custom cuts, and use techniques that accommodate the quirks of older construction. That includes knowing when to shim, when to use flexible materials, and how to blend new drywall with existing plaster so you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins.
Yes, we can recreate most common textures including knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, and smooth finishes. Matching existing texture is critical when you’re adding new drywall to a room that already has finished walls—otherwise, the repair or addition stands out like a spotlight’s on it.
We start by identifying exactly what texture you have, then use the same tools and techniques to replicate it on the new sections. This takes experience because the application method, drying time, and even humidity levels affect how the texture turns out.
After we’ve matched the texture and the paint goes on, you shouldn’t be able to spot where the new work starts. That’s the standard we’re aiming for, and it’s why homeowners call us instead of trying to DIY it or hiring whoever’s cheapest.
Complete cleanup is included with every installation. That means we’re vacuuming drywall dust, wiping down surfaces, removing all scrap materials, and making sure you’re not finding mud or debris in your home after we leave.
Drywall work creates a lot of fine dust, especially during sanding. We use containment methods to keep it from spreading throughout your house, but some cleanup is always necessary. We’re not the crew that finishes the installation and then leaves you to deal with the mess.
You shouldn’t need to rent a dumpster, haul materials, or spend your weekend cleaning up after us. When we say the job’s done, it’s actually done—walls finished, space cleaned, and you’re ready to move forward with painting or whatever comes next.
Your quoted price covers materials, labor, and complete cleanup. That includes the drywall sheets, joint compound, tape, screws, and any other supplies needed to finish the job. You’re not getting hit with surprise charges for materials we “forgot” to include in the estimate.
Labor covers the full installation process—measuring, cutting, hanging, taping, mudding, sanding, and any texture matching if you’re blending with existing walls. We’re also including proper surface preparation, which might mean removing old materials, repairing damaged framing, or addressing moisture issues before we hang new drywall.
The price you see upfront is what you pay when the job’s finished. No hidden fees, no “unforeseen complications” that magically appear once we’ve started. We walk through your project during the estimate, identify any potential issues, and give you a number that actually means something.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured with comprehensive liability coverage that protects your property throughout the entire project. That means if something goes wrong—damage to your home, injury on the job, or any other issue—you’re covered.
Pennsylvania has strict licensing requirements for contractors, including safety training and ongoing education. We maintain all required credentials because it’s the right way to run a business, and because it gives you protection that unlicensed contractors can’t offer.
You can verify our credentials before we start work. We’re not the crew working under the table or cutting corners on insurance to offer lower prices. You’re hiring professionals who are accountable for the work we do and the condition we leave your home in.
