Why Hanenburg
The details that decide how a wall looks in five years
Most drywall problems are visible within a year, and almost all of them trace back to a shortcut nobody saw at the time.
- Framing plane checked before board goes up, because compound cannot level a bowed wall
- Finish level named in writing, so you and your painter work from the same specification
- Texture sampled on a board and approved by you before it touches your wall
- Full compound drying between coats, because rushing it is what causes cracks later
- HEPA dust control and containment as standard, not as an upsell
- Raking light inspection before handoff, which is the only honest quality test

How we work
Our Process
Five stages on every project, from a single patch to a whole house. You always know what happens next and who to call.
Step 1: Contact and Scope
Tell us what the wall or ceiling is doing. We respond the same or next business day and arrange a site visit.
Step 2: Written Estimate
You get a written scope naming the finish level, whether texture matching is included, and a realistic schedule.
Step 3: Protection and Preparation
Floors and furnishings protected, containment installed, and HVAC vents sealed before any dust is created.
Step 4: Installation or Repair
Work carried out with quality checked at each stage, and cleanup at the end of every day rather than only at the end.
Step 5: Walkthrough and Clean Finish
Raking light inspection, corrections made, full debris removal, then we walk the finished work with you.

Specialty systems
Performance drywall, specified as complete assemblies
Moisture, fire, sound, and impact are four different problems with four different answers. Performance comes from the whole assembly, never from the board alone.
Moisture-Resistant Drywall
The right board for humid rooms, with honest limits on where it belongs.
Fire-Resistant Drywall
Rated assemblies built to their listed details, not approximated.
Soundproof Drywall
Decoupling, mass, absorption, and sealing combined for real privacy.
Level 5 Critical Light Finish
Full skim coat plus multi angle verification for the hardest lighting.
Abuse-Resistant Drywall
Tougher surfaces for corridors, rentals, and high traffic walls.

Where we work
Proudly serving Irvine and all of Orange County
Our office is in Irvine, central to the county. There is no travel surcharge anywhere in our service area, and we handle both residential and commercial work in every city we cover.
Who we work with
Different clients, different priorities
A homeowner living through the work needs different things from a general contractor holding a schedule. We scope and run projects accordingly.
Homeowners
Homeowners hiring a drywall contractor are usually doing so for the first time and have no framework for comparing quotes.
Property Managers
Property managers need drywall work that is fast, predictable, and consistent across a portfolio.
General Contractors
General contractors need a drywall subcontractor who holds dates, builds rated assemblies correctly, and completes punch without being chased.
Commercial Property Owners
Commercial property owners need drywall work that satisfies inspection, minimises tenant disruption, and does not generate repeat maintenance.

Helpful drywall resources
Straight answers on finish levels, texture matching, cost, and what to expect, written so you can make a decision rather than just recognise a sales pitch.
Guide
Level 4 vs Level 5 Finish
Level 4 treats joints, fasteners, and beads, leaving the board paper exposed between them.
Guide
Texture Matching Guide
Texture matching replicates an existing wall texture so a repair blends invisibly.
Guide
What to Expect on Installation Day
A drywall installation day begins with protection and containment, followed by material staging, then board hanging and fastening.
Guide
Drywall Cost Guides
Drywall pricing is driven by area, finish level, texture matching requirements, access and ceiling height, containment needs, and the number of separate mobilizations required.
