Insulation Installation
Insulation with Drywall Systems
Coordinating insulation with drywall means one contractor is responsible for the complete wall assembly rather than two trades handing off. It removes the schedule gap between insulation and board, and it means coverage is inspected before the wall is permanently closed.
About Insulation with Drywall Systems
When insulation and drywall are separate contractors, the handoff between them is where problems get buried. The insulation crew leaves, the drywall crew arrives, and nobody with responsibility for the insulation ever looks at it again. Any gap, compression, or missed cavity is now inside the wall permanently.
Doing both means we inspect our own work before we close it in. It also means the acoustic and fire details actually get coordinated: sealant at the penetrations, correct board layering over the insulation, and boxes offset rather than installed back to back. Those details are exactly what falls through the gap between two trades.
Why this matters
- One point of responsibility for the whole assembly
- Insulation inspected by the crew that has to close it in
- No schedule gap between insulation and board
- Acoustic and fire details coordinated rather than assumed

How we work
Our Process
How a insulation with drywall systems project runs from first contact through final walkthrough.
Step 1: Assess the Assembly
We look at cavity depth, framing spacing, the space above or behind, and what the assembly needs to achieve thermally or acoustically.
Step 2: Written Scope
Estimate stating insulation type, R value or acoustic target, coverage area, and how it coordinates with the drywall schedule.
Step 3: Protect and Prepare
Area protected and any existing material removed. Insulation work generates airborne fibre, so containment matters.
Step 4: Install to Full Contact
Material installed to fill the cavity completely without compression or gaps, because both destroy performance.
Step 5: Inspect Before Close In
We inspect coverage before board goes up, because once the wall is closed nobody will ever see it again.
