Drywall Installation and Repair in Catawba County, NC
Drywall Work in the Heart of the Furniture Region
Drywall Services in Catawba County run a particular pattern. Atlantic Drywall and Painting Company Inc. has been crossing the Iredell-Catawba line for these jobs since 2003, and there is a reason the workload looks different on the west side of the river. Catawba County was the country's furniture-making region for a century, and that legacy left behind housing stock with thicker walls, deeper window returns, and plaster-over-lath transitions that confuse contractors who learned the trade somewhere flatter.
The county includes Hickory along Lake Hickory, Newton at the county seat, Conover sitting between them, Maiden to the south, and Claremont out toward the Iredell line. Each of those towns has different building eras. Drywall Services in Catawba County have to account for that, and a crew that has only worked new construction tends to struggle with what they find behind the existing walls.
We carry both the new-build rig and the patch kit. Most jobs in this county need a little of each.

How We Approach Drywall Across Catawba County
The drywall services we provide across Catawba County include drywall installation for new construction and additions, drywall repair for cracks and damage, drywall replacement for water-damaged sections, drywall finishing in all common textures, sheetrock installation for outbuildings and basement projects, and drywall patching for everyday holes. Residential and commercial. Pricing by square foot on larger projects and by the job on smaller ones. Free estimates either way.
Residential Drywall Installation in Catawba County
Residential drywall installation in Catawba County usually breaks down into three buckets. New full-home builds, room additions, and basement or attic finish-outs. We have done all three this year already. The crew hangs the sheets level, tapes the joints flat, sands until the seams disappear, and applies whatever texture the project calls for.
Drywall Patching and Hole Repair Work
Drywall patching is the call we get most often, especially from rental property owners between Hickory and Newton. Doorknob holes, furniture corners, mounted-TV pull-outs, and kids with bicycles in the living room. Drywall hole repair on smaller damage is generally a same-week job for us, and we quote it flat.
Sheetrock Installation for Renovations and Additions
Sheetrock installation in Catawba County renovations is a steady portion of our work, especially in older Hickory and Newton homes where owners are converting porches to four-season rooms or finishing out the bonus space over the garage. The framing usually needs squaring before the sheets go up, and we do that part too.
Drywall Finishing and Texture Work
Drywall finishing is the most overlooked step on a job and usually the one that determines whether a paint job looks good. We tape, mud, prime, and sand to a quality the wall paint will actually flatter. Smooth, orange peel, knockdown, and stomp—we match the texture to what is already in the house.
Why Catawba County Owners Stick With Atlantic
We are licensed and insured local drywall contractors with over twenty years of work along this side of the county line. Atlantic Drywall and Painting Company Inc. carries general liability and the workers carry the coverage required to be in your home or business. Kara Lozano in the Statesville office handles scheduling. The crews on the trucks are the same people week to week.
The observation from years of Catawba work: homes in the older Hickory neighborhoods east of US-321, the ones built between the 1920s and 1960s, often have plaster over wood lath as the original wall material, with later drywall added on top during a renovation. When you cut into that, you find a sandwich. We have learned to ask first, check the cut, and explain what we are seeing before going deeper. It saves the homeowner from a surprise bill.
The Real Returns on Doing Drywall Right
Surfaces That Hold Paint Cleanly
A wall finished with a proper mud and sand sequence holds paint without flashing. The same wall finished sloppily will telegraph every seam through the topcoat within a month.
Predictable Timelines and No Surprises
When we quote three days, the job takes three days. If the wall has a surprise behind it, we stop and we show you. We do not bill for time we did not spend.
A Crew That Came From This Area
The crew is from this region. They know the housing stock, they know the local supply houses, and they know which textures match which neighborhoods. That familiarity speeds the work without cutting corners.
A Patch You Cannot Find Later
The benchmark for drywall hole repair is whether you can find it after the paint dries. If you can, the patch was done wrong. Ours passed that test.
