Framing and drywall work is the backbone of any renovation. Get it wrong and everything that comes after — electrical, plumbing, tile, paint — will show it. At Paun Craft, we treat framing and drywall not as a commodity but as a craft. Every wall is plumb, every corner is straight, and every surface is finished to a standard that holds up under paint, tile, or whatever finish comes next.
We work with both wood and metal stud framing, standard and moisture-resistant drywall, and cement board for wet areas. Whether you need a single partition wall, a full room buildout, or complex ceiling work, we bring the same precision to every job — across all five NYC boroughs.

Why NYC Homeowners & Businesses Choose Paun Craft for Framing & Drywall
01. Plumb Walls, Straight Lines
A wall that's off by even a small margin causes problems for every trade that follows — tile won't line up, doors won't close right, paint will show every imperfection. We frame and finish to a standard that makes the next step easy, not harder.
02. Right Material for Every Application
Standard drywall in a bathroom will fail within a year. We always specify the correct material — moisture-resistant drywall, cement board, or standard sheetrock — based on where it's going and what's going on top of it.
03. Seamlessly Integrated With Your Full Renovation
Most framing and drywall work happens as part of a larger renovation. We coordinate the sequencing with electrical and plumbing rough-in so nothing has to be opened up again after the walls are closed.
How Our NYC Framing & Drywall Process Works
Assessment & Layout
We review the plans or discuss the scope on-site, confirm material specifications, and give you a clear written estimate. We flag any structural considerations or building requirements before work begins.
Framing & Rough-In Coordination
We install the framing in the correct sequence, coordinating with electrical and plumbing rough-in so all systems are in place before the walls are closed. No rework, no surprises.
Drywall, Tape & Finish
Once framing and rough-in are complete, we hang, tape, mud, and sand to a paint-ready finish. Every corner clean, every surface smooth, every seam invisible.
FAQ
We offer full wall framing, partition installation, drywall hanging and finishing, skim coating, and drywall repair. We work on residential apartments, townhouses, and commercial spaces across all five NYC boroughs.
Drywall installation in NYC typically costs $2 to $5 per square foot for materials and labor, depending on ceiling height and finish level required. Repairs are quoted per area. Free estimate available.
Yes — we install non-load-bearing partition walls in apartments and commercial spaces throughout NYC. This is a popular upgrade for creating a home office, extra bedroom, or private area.
Skim coating is a thin layer of plaster applied over existing walls to create a perfectly smooth surface before painting. It's common in older NYC apartments where walls have imperfections, cracks, or old texture.
We can significantly reduce sound transmission by adding acoustic insulation within wall cavities during framing or drywall work. Full soundproofing requires multiple layers — we advise on the best approach for your space.
