Garage ceiling replacement

Stripped to bare joists, rehung, taped, and finished — a flat, quiet ceiling edge to edge.

Finished garage with clean drywall ceiling

About this project

The original garage ceiling was failing. We stripped it back to bare joists, hung new board tight to the framing, taped and coated the seams, and reframed the attic hatch.

The result is a flat, quiet ceiling edge to edge across the full bay — the kind of drywall work that disappears into the room because it was done right.
