Drywall is the surface you look at every day, so how well it's finished shows in every room. Smooth joints, straight corners and no ridges under the paint are what make a renovated room look like it was always that way. We hang, tape and finish drywall as part of basement finishing and renovation jobs, and we repair walls after leaks and floods. Zanini Renovations has been a fully insured carpentry and renovation business in Carleton Place since 2020.

New walls and ceilings. Hanging drywall on new framing in basements, additions, closets and bump-outs, including bulkheads around ducts and beams.
Taping, mudding and sanding. Taping joints, setting corner bead and building up coats of compound, then sanding to a smooth, paint-ready finish. In Perth, before building a custom fireplace mantel, we taped, mudded and sanded the surrounding wall so the paint would go on flawlessly.
Feature walls and fireplace bump-outs. Drywall is often the base for a finished feature. In a Carleton Place living room we built a clean drywall bump-out around a fireplace with a recessed niche, then trimmed it with a wood sill and wrapped baseboard.
Flood and leak repairs. After water damage, the wet drywall has to come out. In a Carleton Place basement we installed a 2 foot flood cut of new drywall through two rooms and a hallway. We taped and sanded it so it blends with the existing upper walls, and the new trim covered the bottom edge.
Smaller repairs. Holes, cracks, patches after a wall has been opened for wiring or pipes, and damaged corners. Send photos of your repair and we'll let you know how we can help.
Not every wall needs the same finish. A garage or utility room can stop at a basic taped finish, while a living room with big windows and raking light needs more coats and careful sanding to hide every joint. We'll agree on the finish for each area before we start, so there are no surprises when the paint goes on.
Sanding drywall makes fine dust that gets everywhere if nobody manages it. Before the job starts, we'll talk about how the work area will be closed off and kept clean. We keep the work area organized and clean it up at the end, so you're not living in a construction site.

Drywall goes up after the rough-ins, and walls often get opened for wiring or pipes. That electrical and plumbing work is done by qualified, certified electricians and plumbers. We arrange them as part of the project and plan the drywall around their work, so the walls are closed up once they're finished.
Because we also do the framing before it and the trim after it, the drywall is planned around the finished room: straight corners where the casing goes and clean returns around windows. You deal directly with the owner, Jonas Zanini, from the estimate to the final walkthrough. Zanini Renovations is fully insured. We also take on drywall in condo units and commercial spaces, along with most of the other carpentry and renovation work we do in homes.
We do drywall work in Carleton Place, Beckwith and Franktown, Almonte and Pakenham, Perth, Smiths Falls, Arnprior and Lanark County, and in Ottawa, including Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, Nepean, Riverside South, Manotick, Richmond, Carp and Ashton. Gatineau too.
Often, yes. Send photos and the size of the area, and we'll let you know whether it's a fit.
Yes, once the source of the water is fixed and the area has dried. We cut out the damaged drywall, install new board, and tape and sand it to blend with the existing walls. That's what we did in a Carleton Place basement with a 2 foot flood cut through two rooms and a hallway.
Let us know if you'd like priming and painting, and we'll cover it when we go over the quote.
Before the work starts, we'll go over how the area will be closed off and cleaned up, and we clean up at the end of the job.
Each coat of compound needs time to dry before the next one, so drywall takes several visits rather than one long day. Your schedule comes with the quote.
