Most Barrie renovations need drywall — and if you’re already insulating, doing both with one crew saves you the hassle of coordinating two trades. Pro Insulation Contracting installs 1/2-inch standard, 5/8-inch fire-rated, and moisture-resistant drywall across Barrie, most often as the finishing step after insulation. Licensed, BBB-accredited, 4.9★ rated.
Half-inch drywall is the standard panel for interior walls and ceilings in most homes. It’s the right balance of strength and weight for typical 16-inch on-centre framing, works on both wood and steel studs, and finishes cleanly for paint. For most standard, non-fire-rated interior walls in a Barrie house — bedrooms, living areas, finished basements, renovated spaces — 1/2-inch is what goes up.
Where 1/2-inch isn’t the answer, we’ll tell you: attached-garage walls and ceilings, and some other applications, require 5/8-inch fire-rated drywall by code, and wet areas like bathrooms and laundry rooms call for moisture-resistant board. We carry and install all three, so the right panel goes in the right place — not whatever’s on the truck.
WHAT WE OFFER
We assess the space, framing, and which board each area needs.
correct thickness per room (1/2″, 5/8″ fire-rated, or moisture-resistant).
finished to a paint-ready surface. Then, we haul the debris; you’re left with finished walls.
This is the real reason this page exists. Most insulation-only contractors stop at the vapour barrier and leave you to find a separate drywaller. We don’t. If we’re spray-foaming your basement, finishing a garage ceiling, or insulating a renovation in Barrie, we can hang and finish the drywall as part of the same job.
For you that means one crew, one point of contact, one schedule — instead of coordinating an insulator and a drywaller and hoping they don’t blame each other when something’s off. It’s especially useful after garage or basement insulation work, where the wall is open now and will need closing up anyway.
Barrie has a lot of homes with unfinished or dated basements and ongoing renovation activity. Those are the projects where drywall and insulation naturally go together — insulate the basement walls to code, then finish them. Doing it as one job is faster and usually cleaner than splitting it across trades.
Pros
Cons / where it’s the wrong choice
Both. We install drywall across Barrie, most often as the finishing step on an insulation or renovation job.
1/2-inch for most standard interior walls and ceilings; 5/8-inch fire-rated where code requires it (like attached-garage walls); moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and laundry rooms. We match the board to the space.
Yes — that’s our advantage over insulation-only contractors. One crew handles both.
It’s a multi-stage job — hang, tape, several mud coats with drying time, then sand. We give you a realistic timeline at the quote.
We can take it from bare studs to a paint-ready finish.
