Drywall & Taping in Ajax

About Ajax

Ajax is a Durham Region town of roughly 126,000 that has nearly tripled its population since the early 1990s. The town sits along the north shore of Lake Ontario between Pickering and Whitby and has grown rapidly as families look east of Toronto for more attainable detached housing. The Ajax Waterfront Park provides several kilometres of lakefront trails that anchor the south side of the town, while Greenwood Conservation Area offers protected greenspace just to the north. Newer developments in Audley, Salem, and Nottingham have filled in the north end with large family-oriented subdivisions, while Central Ajax and South Ajax retain a mix of older bungalows and townhouses dating back to the town's mid-century origins as a wartime munitions community. Pat Bayly Square has emerged as a downtown civic plaza for events and gatherings. Drywall demand in Ajax skews heavily residential — finished basements, in-law suite conversions, secondary unit setups, and main-floor renovations as the original owners of 1990s and 2000s subdivisions begin to refresh their homes. The town's growth also continues to drive new-build subdivision drywall work in the north end.

Population: approximately 126,000. A growing Durham Region town with strong family appeal and lakefront access.

Notable Ajax landmarks include: Ajax Waterfront Park, Greenwood Conservation Area, Pat Bayly Square, Audley Recreation Centre.

Common Ajax drywall projects

Basement finishings in Ajax

Ajax homeowners with mid-century or newer homes often have unfinished or partially finished basements. We hang and tape new partitions, mechanical room enclosures, suite ceilings, and bathroom additions. Most Ajax basement drywall jobs run 1,000–1,800 square feet and finish in 4–6 working days. Read our drywall thickness guide if you are deciding what board to spec for the ceiling.

Condo and apartment work

Ajax condos and apartment buildings call us regularly for in-suite renovation drywall, water-damage ceiling repair, and party-wall sound assemblies. We coordinate with property management for elevator booking, and we are insured to the levels Ajax condo boards typically require.

Renovations and additions in Ajax

Whole-house renovations and second-storey additions are a steady source of work in Ajax. We coordinate with framers, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC trades so we hang once and tape clean. Ajax's mix of older homes and newer construction means we work in everything from 1920s lath-and-plaster to 2024 panelized framing — see our piece on drywall vs plaster for how we approach older homes.

Custom new builds

For Ajax infill builders and custom home builders, we hang and tape from framing through paint-ready handover. Level 4 standard, Level 5 in feature areas. We can run multiple crews on multi-unit builds. The difference between Level 4 and Level 5 is covered in our taping levels post.

Commercial buildouts in Ajax

Office tenant improvements, retail buildouts, restaurant fits, and condo amenity spaces — we handle steel stud framing, fire-rated assemblies, and sound-rated demising walls in Ajax. Most commercial work runs after-hours to avoid disrupting tenants and customers.

Ajax pricing

We do not change our prices by city. Our standard GTA-wide pricing applies in Ajax: drywall installation at $2.50–4.50 per square foot, taping-only at $1.20–2.50 per square foot, and small repairs from $150 per visit. See the installation cost page or the taping cost page for full breakdowns.

Why Ajax homeowners choose us

Ajax homeowners pick us because we are one of the few GTA-wide drywall crews that does not treat Durham Region as a long drive. Our trucks are out east of Toronto every working day, so a 7:30 AM start in Ajax is just as easy as one in Etobicoke. We know the supply yards in Ajax and Whitby, we have done dozens of basement legalizations across Audley and Nottingham, and we are familiar with the local inspectors who sign off on second-suite work. Ajax clients also appreciate that we quote written and itemized — they tell us we are usually the first contractor to do that.

If that sounds like the kind of contractor you are looking for, request a free quote or get in touch.
