Residential drywall in Yonkers, NY is the home base for Yonkers Signature Drywall, and this big, hilly city keeps us busy year round. We work on everything from century-old homes with lath-and-plaster walls to brick walk-up apartments and the hillside houses above the river. Our crews hang 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch Type X board, tape with mesh or paper, and finish to a smooth Level 4 or Level 5 wall. Yonkers homeowners call us when a wall or ceiling has to look like it was always there, with the floors protected and the dust kept down.
Yonkers is Westchester's largest and densest city, a mix of older single-family homes, brick apartment buildings, and hillside houses stepping down toward the Hudson. Much of its early-20th-century housing stock was built with lath-and-plaster walls that crack, sag, and pull loose over the decades. That aging plaster, alongside newer drywall in renovated units and additions, keeps repair, skim-coat, and full-hang work steady across the city.
The most common call in Yonkers is a wall that has taken a hit or a ceiling dotted with nail pops. We cut back to sound board, set a backer, and patch with new gypsum so the repair sits flush instead of bulging. Nail pops get re-fastened with screws above and below, then the whole area is taped, compounded in coats, and sanded so the fix disappears under paint.
For renovations, additions, and gut jobs we hang complete rooms in 1/2-inch board on walls and sag-resistant 5/8-inch on ceilings. Seams are taped and coated, corners are protected with metal or paper-faced bead, and every fastener is set below the surface. We finish to a Level 4 for standard paint or a Level 5 skim coat where side lighting would show every flaw.
Most of our Yonkers work happens in homes people are living in, so containment matters. We tape off doorways, run plastic, protect the floors, and use dust-controlled sanding wherever we can. When the job wraps we haul out the debris and leave the room ready for paint, not for a second cleanup.
We also finish walls in nearby Bronxville. Call Yonkers Signature Drywall at (914) 916-1070 for residential drywall & skim coating across Westchester.
