New Construction
At Thor McAndrew Construction, we take pride in being a trusted name for new construction drywall services in Southern California. Our family’s roots in the drywall trade go back to 1978, and in 1998, we became a family-run business committed to delivering top-quality work. Over the years, we’ve built our reputation on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and honest, reliable service. Now led by brothers Cody and Erik McAndrew, we proudly and humbly carry on our father’s legacy with every new home, room addition, or commercial build we’re a part of. From the initial planning to the final texture, we approach every project with the experience and precision it takes to do the job right from the very beginning.
Start-to-Finish Drywall Expertise
New construction gives us the opportunity to set the tone for the entire space, which is why we treat each stage with care and professionalism. Every drywall panel is measured, cut, and installed according to California code, with clean, square cuts for all openings and added backing wherever needed. Our team ensures that each sheet is properly secured to the framing for maximum stability and long-term performance. Whether we’re working on a custom home or a new home addition, we bring consistency and a clean, methodical approach to every phase.
Proper Insulation and Framing Support
A successful drywall job in new construction starts before the first sheet is even hung. We make sure the correct insulation is installed in all exterior walls and ceilings to enhance energy efficiency, minimize noise, and support long-term comfort. We also handle minor framing adjustments as needed to ensure a level surface and properly supported structure. This foundational work sets the stage for a smoother finish and helps prevent unwanted issues down the line.
Professional Finishing and Texture Options
Once the boards are hung and seams are taped, the finishing phase begins. We apply a minimum of three coats to all joints, angles, and screw holes, producing a surface that’s smooth, durable, and ready for its final appearance. Our team offers a full range of professional textures, including orange peel, knockdown, hand-applied finishes, and a flawless level 5 smooth finish. These options help you customize the look of your space while maintaining the quality and consistency we’re known for. When it comes to new construction, drywall is more than just another step - it’s the foundation of your walls and ceilings. Trust the family-owned team that’s been doing it right for generations!
