Conroe Drywall Co. is a drywall contractor serving Grangerland, Texas, with over 15 years of experience finishing walls and ceilings across Conroe, Montgomery County and the surrounding communities. You can call us for drywall repair, drywall installation, ceiling repair, water damage drywall repair, finishing and texture matching. We also board new construction and whole houses, frame and finish commercial interiors in steel, and restore older surfaces you have inherited, including popcorn ceilings, plaster and walls left rough after wallpaper removal. We handle both residential drywall and commercial work, from a single wall to an entire building.
Grangerland sits at the junction of FM 3083 and FM 2090, ten miles southeast of Conroe, and grew around the oil field. Because it has no city government of its own, questions about your job go to Montgomery County rather than a city building department, and the answer you get back is a county answer rather than a city one. Property owners here are used to the address saying one thing and the jurisdiction saying another, so it helps to know which authority applies before we start cutting gypsum board.
We work throughout unincorporated east Montgomery County and the surrounding towns, so drywallers and sheetrock contractors from our crews are working on this side of the county most weeks. Call us at (346) 706-5743 or use the quote form, and the on-site estimate is free.

Drywall is the surface you see every day, and the lasting proof of good work is whether you can still find where the repair was made. That is what you are really choosing when you hire someone to cut into a wall.
We are insured and follow established industry practices, including ASTM C840 standards for gypsum board installation and finishing. Four other points support the way we work:

Our Services
Homes around Grangerland were built and expanded across many years, which is why the service list below covers so much ground. The drywallers at Conroe Drywall Co. handle both residential and commercial jobs, so the same crew that patches a hallway also hangs and finishes drywall in a shop.
Repairing damaged wall and ceiling board is one of the main reasons we are called to homes in Grangerland. Doorknob holes, corner knocks and everyday family wear all bring us out. In an added-onto house the damage often appears where the newer room meets the original structure, so the patch has to carry cleanly across that joint.
Hanging drywall on open framing is steady work in Grangerland. Lots here have room for garage bays, back rooms and shops, and owners sometimes get the framing up before the project stalls. The walls sit open for a year or two with the insulation exposed before it is finally time to turn the space into a finished room.
Boarding a house from bare framing is the drywall work an acreage build needs. Homes continue to go up on tracts off the farm-to-market roads around Grangerland, one or two at a time rather than an entire street at once, and each single-house site needs a crew that stocks board room by room and finishes the interior in one run.
Walls and ceilings in a business are their own kind of job. At the FM 3083 and FM 2090 junction the frontage holds a shop, a clinic and a church hall, and those owners cannot close for a week. We phase a build-out around trading hours so the doors stay open, and we hang abuse-resistant board where the spec calls for it.
Steel framing instead of lumber fits two common situations here. One is a detached shop or garage on a bare slab, where the track is fastened directly to the concrete. The other is commercial frontage at the junction, where a tenant needs offices framed inside an open shell.
The wall and ceiling between a garage and the house form a fire separation, and Grangerland has plenty of garages being converted into bedrooms, offices and gyms. The required assembly depends on the construction already in place, including the wall, the ceiling and whether there is a room above, so we confirm it on site rather than assume it from the build.
A dropped ceiling of lay-in tile held in an acoustical ceiling grid is what a converted shop or a small office at the junction usually wants. Plumbing, wiring and ductwork in these buildings were run overhead without much thought to hiding them, and an owner still needs to reach all of it next year.
Soundproofing a room means rebuilding its walls or ceiling to reduce sound passing through. Along a farm-to-market road, truck traffic carries straight into a front bedroom at all hours, and owners ask for the same kind of separation around workshops, converted garages and home offices that share a wall with another room.
Arches, curved openings, niches and shaped ceilings are common updates in 1970s and 1980s subdivision homes. The boxy rooms and square doorways from that era now look dated, and reshaping an opening or rounding a corner changes the character of the house without moving a single wall.
Removing sprayed ceiling texture and re-skimming the surface smooth is a common update in Grangerland subdivisions built through the 1970s and 1980s, where those ceilings still remain in many rooms. When owners update the floors, paint and kitchen, the ceiling is the one surface still showing its age.
New board is taped, coated smooth and finished with a surface texture. Knockdown creates a flattened splatter, while orange peel leaves a finer stipple. On a repair in Grangerland, the harder part is matching whatever texture is already on your wall, especially when the original finish was sprayed decades ago.
Cutting out water-damaged wall and ceiling board and rebuilding the surface is steady work in an area that gets about 51 inches of rain a year. A roof leak over a spare bedroom or back room that sees little use can go unnoticed for months. Floodwater and a clean-water leak require different repair work, and we treat them accordingly.
Boarding an entire ceiling is common after two types of work here. A re-roofed or re-framed span leaves the ceiling open, while combining two rooms leaves a rough line where the old wall once stood. In both cases, the goal is one continuous ceiling across the whole room.
Adding a new interior wall turns one large room into two, which is a common request as a family grows or a home office is needed. A wall tied into an existing ceiling raises a county question about how the new room is classified, and we explain what we know before any work begins.
Bathrooms, laundry rooms and ceilings next to a garage get moisture-resistant board as standard on our jobs, not as an upcharge added later. With the humidity outside and the steam from a shower, these are the rooms in a Grangerland house that stay damp longest after the door opens.
Re-taping joints and patching ceilings is what we are called for after a wet season gives way to a dry one, which is the usual Grangerland year. Cracks open along a line, or a section starts to hang low. We put backing behind the patch and bring the surface back level.
Repairing lime plaster over wood lath is work the oldest buildings in Grangerland still need. The community began as an oil camp, and some of those original walls remain in houses that have been expanded and lived in ever since. Where plaster is still in place, we repair the plaster rather than replace it with drywall.
Fiberglass batt insulation goes into an open wall cavity while we are already working there. The conversation usually starts with one room that stays colder than the rest of the house, and in Grangerland that room is often an addition built to a different standard from the original house.
Boxing in a duct run or beam with framing and drywall is the final step in a reworked kitchen. When cabinets change height or a wall comes out, ductwork and structure above are suddenly visible, and a boxed enclosure restores a clean line across the top of the room.
Sealing new board with PVA primer and painting the wall is priced as a separate line item from the drywall work. Owners finishing a Grangerland addition or converted garage often prefer one crew to complete both stages rather than waiting weeks for a painter to become available.
Removing wallpaper and cleaning up the paste left behind is common in Grangerland homes decorated in the 1980s. Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways in these subdivisions were papered wall to wall, and the surface underneath is rarely sound enough to paint, so we skim it first and leave it ready for finishing.
In Grangerland, a house is rarely all one age. A room gets added, a porch gets enclosed, or a second bathroom takes over space that used to be a closet, and each project reflects the board and finish common to the decade when it was built. What a residential drywall crew finds behind the wall therefore depends on which part of the house we are working in and whether the home was built on the lot or delivered there finished. We work on both types, but each calls for a different approach.
The transition between an older house and an addition is the most difficult part of the job. Two builders can leave two ceiling planes at different heights, and the drywall is not always the same thickness, so half-inch board from one era can meet five-eighths-inch board at the same corner. The older side was also textured by a different hand years earlier, and no two applicators leave exactly the same pattern.
We float that transition well beyond the seam, building joint compound across both surfaces until the difference in thickness becomes a gradual slope you cannot see. Then we match the older texture over the repair so the new work blends into the same wall. A patch that stops at the line between the two eras catches raking light from across the room, and you will notice it every time you walk in.
A manufactured home is built in a plant and delivered to the lot, and many use interior wall systems that differ from those in a site-built house. The wall panels are often thinner than standard drywall, and the joints between them are frequently covered with battens, narrow strips fixed over the gaps, instead of being taped and floated flat. The framing behind the panels may also use different spacing and require different fasteners.
The first step is identifying the panel and joint system already in your home, because that determines the repair. On a batten system, taping and floating over the joint creates a ridge that never sits flat, so we match panel to panel and batten to batten instead. Converting a single wall to taped board would make it stand out from every other wall in the room. Sheetrock contractors who regularly work in Grangerland deal with these systems as part of the job, and we do too.
Your mail is addressed to Conroe because USPS assigns that city name to both ZIP 77306 and ZIP 77302. The postmark reflects mail delivery, not the location of your property. Grangerland is a census-designated place, with a boundary drawn so the 2020 census could count the 754 people living here. That boundary is used for population counting and is not a city limit.
Montgomery County handles the review that applies here, including floodplain questions, meaning whether the property takes water during a storm, on-site sewage facilities, the septic systems used where there is no city sewer, and addressing. The Montgomery County Fire Marshal is the fire authority for these addresses.
None of those three reviews is concerned with wall finishes, so replacing drywall rarely raises a permit question. That changes when a new wall carries wiring or plumbing, or when the use of a room changes, so before scheduling drywall installation we confirm the requirements with the authority responsible for the address.

FAQ
Yes, and not as a favor at the edge of our service area. Grangerland is part of our regular working territory, so we send a drywall contractor for a single-room repair just as we do for a whole-house job. No job is too small to justify the drive, and we prepare the estimate at your property rather than trying to price the work over the phone.
Usually not when the work simply replaces a finish instead of changing the structure, and Montgomery County is the authority to ask. Your address determines which office has jurisdiction, while the scope of work determines what that office requires. A house inside city limits answers to a different authority, and replacing a wall finish is not treated the same as adding a new wall that carries wiring.
We handle that before any work begins. Texture installed before 1990 can contain asbestos, so we arrange lab testing before any scraping begins and remove only material the results clear as safe. The age of the ceiling determines whether testing is needed, not how the texture looks from the floor.
We test the match on the wall instead of judging it by eye. A sample is applied to the surface and allowed to dry, because wet joint compound looks darker and flatter than it does once cured, then we check it in the room's own light from the angle you normally see the wall. A hand-applied plaster texture is not always exactly reproducible, and we explain that before you commit so you can choose between re-texturing the entire wall or accepting a close match.
Yes. Detached shops and outbuildings are routine work for us. A building without heating or cooling moves with changes in temperature and humidity differently from a house, and its framing is often spaced differently as well, so we choose the board and fastening pattern for that building instead of simply copying what was used in the house.
An estimate starts with us standing in front of the wall or ceiling in question, whether that is damage to repair, a new room to board out or a texture to match. We come to the property, look at the work itself rather than a photograph of it, and put the scope in writing before anything begins, so you know what a drywall contractor is going to do and where the job stops. The visit costs you nothing. Call (346) 706-5743 or use our quote form for a clear price on your project.
