Drywall Materials: Types and When to Use Them
Not all drywall is the same. Choosing the right product for the application prevents callbacks and code issues.
Required at garage-to-living-space separations and per California residential code in specific applications.
Fiberglass mat face won't support mold growth. Required behind tile backer in wet areas.
No paper facing — nothing for mold to feed on. Specify in bathrooms without tile on walls.
Our go-to for most interior applications — consistent manufacturing, widely available, and takes finish well.
We explain every material choice in our proposals. You know what's going into your home and why before any work starts.
