New Construction Drywall Done Right in Shafter

Shafter's expanding residential subdivisions have created a strong demand for reliable new construction drywall crews who can keep pace with builders and general contractors. At Bakersfield Elite Drywall , we specialize in high-volume residential hanging and finishing without cutting corners on quality. Our teams work efficiently on multi-unit builds, standalone homes, and room additions — meeting project milestones without sacrificing the smooth, consistent finish that painters and homeowners demand.

For new builds, we handle every phase in-house: measuring and cutting panels, hanging and fastening boards to metal and wood framing, applying paper and mesh tape, multiple coats of joint compound, and final sanding to achieve a truly flat, paint-ready surface. We don't subcontract finishing work to less-experienced crews. The same skilled hands that hang the board check the final coat — because we know that poorly finished drywall shows up the moment the first roller of paint goes on.

We also serve established Shafter homeowners who are remodeling kitchens, converting garages, or finishing basements. If you're adding square footage or refreshing an outdated interior, our repair and patch work is designed to be completely invisible. We match your existing wall texture — whether it's orange peel, skip-trowel, or smooth — so the new sections blend right in with the old ones.

Agricultural and Commercial Facilities in the Shafter Area

Beyond residential work, Shafter is surrounded by warehousing, cold storage facilities, and agricultural processing buildings that regularly require interior partitioning and fire-rated drywall systems. We install Type X fire-rated panels on metal stud framing for code-compliant demising walls, office build-outs within larger structures, and break room or restroom separations inside commercial and agricultural facilities.

These environments are harder on drywall than typical homes. Forklifts, temperature swings from refrigerated storage areas, and heavy equipment produce vibrations and impact damage that ordinary residential-grade work simply doesn't address. We use abuse-resistant gypsum panels in high-traffic corridors and reinforce corners with heavy-duty metal corner bead, significantly extending the service life of the finished walls.

Dust control is a priority for us on every site, and especially so in food-adjacent environments. We use sealed containment barriers and HEPA-rated vacuums during sanding to keep fine gypsum dust from migrating into sensitive areas of your facility. Our crews are professional, punctual, and tidy — which is why contractors in the Shafter area keep calling us back project after project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with home builders on new construction in Shafter?

Yes. We work directly with general contractors and builders on new residential construction. We can provide competitive per-unit pricing for multi-lot developments and maintain consistent crew scheduling to stay on your build timeline.

Can you match the texture on my existing Shafter home walls?

Absolutely. Texture matching is one of our most requested services. We examine the existing finish and replicate it using the same spray, knock-down, or hand-applied technique. The goal is that you can't tell where the old wall ends and the new patch begins.
