Commercial Drywall Ardmore, OK

Tenant improvements, build-outs, repairs, and texture work — coordinated with paint under one contract, backed by a 3-year warranty.

Commercial Drywall Contractor Ardmore OK Property Managers Trust

Tenant improvements run on tight timelines. New leases want to start. Existing tenants want their fitouts finished. The drywall on the project is rarely the slowest trade — but when it goes wrong, it slows everything else down. Texture mismatches force a repaint. Level 4 finish where level 5 was specified telegraphs through the final coat. A wall that wasn’t ready at scheduled paint time pushes the painter back, the flooring back, the move-in back.

Derheim Commercial handles drywall as part of an integrated commercial scope, not as an outsourced sub. Same project manager, same crew quality standards, same accountability across drywall and paint. The wall gets ready when it was supposed to be ready, finished to the level that was specified, with the paint queued up to follow.

Commercial Drywall Services Ardmore Projects We Run Most Often

Most of our commercial drywall work falls into one of three categories. Tenant improvement build-outs — installing new walls, demising tenant spaces, and finishing fresh sheetrock for incoming leases. Tenant turnover repair — patching, texture matching, and refinishing damage from the previous tenant before the new one arrives. And new construction or major renovation — drywall packages on commercial fitouts, new builds, and full-floor renovations.

Specialty drywall scope rounds out the work: medical, dental, food service, and institutional projects each have specific finish, fire-rating, and substrate considerations.

What’s Included in Our Commercial Drywall Services

Every commercial drywall project from Derheim Commercial includes the following as standard:

Site walk and scope confirmation

Demolition and removal

of damaged drywall, popcorn ceiling, or failed previous finish work as needed

Tape and bed

paper tape or fiberglass mesh on every joint, with multiple coats of joint compound

between coats and as final prep before texture or paint

Texture application

matching existing texture or applying new texture per project specification

Finish-level sanding

level 3, 4, or 5 depending on the finish required

Daily cleanup

Commercial Drywall Surfaces and Textures We Handle

Commercial drywall covers a lot of scope across property types. Most of what’s possible in commercial work, we’ve done before. If your property has a texture, we can match it.

  • Drywall scopes:

    New sheetrock installation for tenant build-outs and new construction - Demising wall installation for splitting tenant spaces - Patching and repair of damaged sections - Settling-crack repair on existing commercial buildings - Water-damage repair after leaks, floods, or roof issues - Drywall removal for accessing plumbing, electrical, or HVAC - Popcorn ceiling removal in commercial spaces - Whole-space or whole-floor retexturing - Fire-rated and moisture-resistant assemblies where the use case requires.

  • Texture types we install and match: - Smooth (level 5)

    Fully sanded smooth wall finish, popular for modern commercial interiors: Knockdown — common in office, retail, and institutional commercial properties -
    Orange peel — light spray texture in retail and office applications -
    Skip trowel — hand-applied texture in higher-end commercial spaces
    Hand texture — custom hand-applied texturing for specialty finishes
    Level 3 and level 4 — standard finishes for most painted commercial walls and ceilings. If your tenant build-out specifies a different finish level, we deliver to that spec.

About Derheim Commercial and Why We Do Drywall This Way

Derheim Painting was founded in 2020 by Konrad Derheim, who spent 10 years in the San Francisco painting industry before relocating to Ardmore. Bay Area commercial work routinely required drywall finish at level 4 or level 5 standards — visible in office natural light, photographed for real estate listings, and held to a finish quality higher than what most regional commercial markets demand.

That standard came with him to Oklahoma. Our commercial drywall work is done by full-time staff who understand that the painter’s reputation lives or dies on the surface they paint over — and who treat tenant timelines as immovable.

Commercial Drywall Pricing in Ardmore, OK

Commercial drywall pricing depends on scope, finish level required, fire-rating or specialty assembly requirements, scheduling constraints, and any coordination with other trades on-site. Tenant improvement packages are priced separately from single-repair work.

Rather than publish ranges that may not apply to your specific project, we give every commercial customer a written, itemized quote after a free site walk.

What we’ll never do: send you a price over the phone without seeing the property, surprise you with mid-project change orders on quoted scope, or bury costs in fine print.

Our Commercial Drywall Process — Site Walk to Final Sign-Off

1. Free Site Walk

A commercial project manager visits your property, walks every space involved, and confirms scope, finish-level requirements, and any specialty assembly specifications.

2. Written, Itemized Quote

You’ll receive a written quote within a few business days. It lists scope by space, sheetrock specs, finish level, products, prep, scheduling assumptions, and the 3-year workmanship warranty terms.

3. Scheduling and Coordination

Once approved, the project goes on the schedule. After-hours, weekend, and phased timelines are coordinated with your operations team and any tenants or other vendors on-site.

4. Site Setup and Demolition

Floors and adjacent surfaces are covered. Dust containment is set up where adjacent spaces are occupied. Damaged drywall, popcorn ceiling, or failed previous work is removed cleanly.

5. Sheetrock, Tape, and Multiple Coats of Compound

New sheetrock installed where required. Every joint taped and bedded. Two to four coats of compound applied between sandings, building up smooth, flat, level transitions across every joint and patch.

6. Texture and Finish-Level Sanding

Texture matched to existing or applied to spec. Smooth (level 5) finishes get additional skim coats and sanding. Final sanding completed before primer.

7. Final Walkthrough and Warranty

We walk every space with you. Anything that needs adjustment, we adjust on the spot. Final payment isn’t due until you’ve signed off. The 3-year workmanship warranty is documented in the project paperwork and active from the date of completion.

  • 24-hour response standard on warranty issues, with on-site inspection within 48 business hours
  • Final walkthrough and touch-ups included with every project before sign-off
