Commercial Drywall With People Still in the Building

Boerne Drywall does commercial drywall in Boerne, TX for offices, shops, restaurants and the common areas between them. If you look after a building, run a store or hold the contract on a build-out, what people ask us first is how long the space is out of use, and who they talk to while it's going on.

That's what we price around. Some jobs run straight through the day because your space is empty anyway. Others happen after hours, with the area sealed off before your staff arrive and opened up before you do business in the morning.

The rest is ordinary drywall done to a commercial standard. Walls built to what's on your drawings, rated assemblies where the plans call for them, and a finish that holds up in a corridor people walk through all day.

Working on Your Walls Around the Hours the Space Is in Use

The first thing we work out is when we can be in there, and what your space has to look like when the doors open.

Drywall work after hours, overnight and on weekends

Plenty of commercial work's bought that way, and it costs more per square foot than the same work in an empty shell. A night shift means setting up and breaking down every time, so your space is clear in the morning. It means you don't have to close.

Keeping drywall dust away from your staff and customers

Sanding compound makes more mess than anything else on the job, and in a working building it's the part people notice. So the work area's sealed off rather than screened, the return air in that zone gets covered, and vacuums go on the sanders. If you share a wall with a tenant who's got customers in, we'll talk to you about which side we set up on.

The Walk-Through, and What We Look At on Your Walls

What your space is being used for while we're in it, and who else is in the building
Which hours we can work, and whether that means evenings, overnight or a weekend
What your drawings say for each wall, since not every wall is built alike
What has to be protected: a ceiling grid, a finished floor, a storefront, fixtures
Where board comes in and where debris goes out, and at what hour
What the finish has to match where the new work meets what you have

What the Drawings Decide About Each Wall

On a commercial job the walls come to us already worked out. Your architect's drawn what each wall is, and where a wall's a rated assembly, the drawing sets the board, the framing and the fixings together as one thing.

We build what's drawn. We don't substitute a material into a rated wall, and we won't tell you a wall meets something it wasn't drawn to meet. What we will do is read your drawings before we bid, so the price you get is for the assemblies on them.

Why more than one board goes into your space

In a house, one thickness covers nearly everything. Your space is usually a mix, because the walls are doing different jobs. A demising wall between two units, a corridor wall people push carts along and an ordinary partition inside your suite are three specifications on one set of plans.

What decides the board on any given wall

Three things, and none is our preference. What your drawings specify, whether the wall forms part of a rated assembly, and what it has to put up with once you're open. Thicker board goes into corridors and shared walls for sound and for the knocks they take.

The Five Things That Move a Commercial Drywall Price

Two spaces with the same square footage of wall can come back a long way apart, and floor area tells us almost nothing. What separates them is when the work can happen and what's drawn on your walls.

What Working With Us on a Commercial Drywall Job Is Like

Most of what makes a commercial job go smoothly happens before anybody hangs a sheet. We walk the space with you, work out when we can be in it, and agree what it has to look like when your doors open.

What you get from us on a commercial drywall job

  • A walk-through before anything is priced, so the bid is for your space rather than a square footage
  • One person to call about the drywall, from that walk-through to the last coat
  • Board and debris moved at hours that suit your building rather than the crew
  • The work area sealed off and reset every time we leave it
  • Rated assemblies built to the drawing, with nothing substituted into one
  • A walk of your space at the end, and the punch list handled rather than argued about

The smaller commercial drywall jobs, and why we take them

Not everything is a build-out. A dented corridor wall in a common area, a storefront partition caught by a delivery, a stockroom wall nobody ever finished. Those are the jobs a property manager struggles to get anyone out for. Send us the list for your whole building and we'll price it as one visit.

What Property Managers Ask Us About Commercial Drywall

What does commercial drywall cost per square foot in Boerne?

Figure $3 to $5.50 per square foot of wall for board hung, taped and finished to a standard Level 4, which is what most commercial space is handed over at. Rated, sound-rated and abuse-resistant assemblies run above that. A commercial job gets bid after a walk-through rather than off a floor plan. What moves your price is the rated assemblies, the ceiling height, how the space is occupied and when we can work.

Can you use the same drywall in a commercial building as in a house?

Sometimes, and often not. Plenty of ordinary partitions in your space are built the way a wall in a house is. The difference is that a commercial set of drawings carries several wall types, and some are rated assemblies where the board is part of how the wall performs.

What thickness of drywall goes in a commercial space?

It isn't ours to choose. Your architect specifies it wall by wall, and one suite can carry two or three specifications. Where a wall's part of a rated assembly, the board's drawn together with the framing and the fixings and it gets built that way.

Can you do the drywall after hours so we do not have to close?

Yes, and a good share of our commercial work runs that way. We seal the area off, work through, and put your space back before the doors open. It costs more per square foot than the same job in an empty unit, because setup and breakdown happen every time instead of once.

Do you do drywall build-outs for a new tenant?

It's a lot of what comes to us. New partitions to the plan, the finish carried through so the new work doesn't read as new, and the punch list walked with you at the end. If you're a general contractor holding the job, we work to your sequence.

Will there be drywall dust through the rest of your building?

Not if the setup is done properly, and that's on us rather than on you. The work zone is sealed at the doorways, return air gets covered, and the sanders run with vacuums. Nobody in the suite next door should be able to tell we're there.
