The Team Behind Victoria's Most Trusted Drywall Company

Our Story

How Two Tradesmen Built Victoria's Highest-Rated Drywall Team

Finest Finish started in 2014 with a straightforward idea: drywall work in Victoria deserved better.

Dylan and Colten had spent years working in the trades — learning the craft through BCIT, UBC Building Science programs, and hands-on experience across Vancouver and Victoria. What they kept seeing was the same thing: rushed timelines, cut corners, sloppy finishes, and homeowners left dealing with callbacks and repairs that should have never been needed in the first place.

So they built something different. Not just a drywall company — a system. A structured, repeatable process for delivering flawless results on every project, regardless of size or complexity. They hired only journeyman-level tradespeople. They sourced premium Canadian and European materials instead of box-store compounds. They developed proprietary surface preparation methods that go far beyond what the industry considers standard. And they made a commitment that every client would receive the same level of care, communication, and craftsmanship — whether it was a $2,000 patch repair or a $60,000 custom home install.

That system is what Finest Finish is built on. It’s why we’ve earned 93 five-star Google reviews with zero callbacks. It’s why homeowners in Broadmead, Uplands, Oak Bay, and Ten Mile Point call us back for project after project. And it’s why builders across Greater Victoria trust us with their most demanding finishes.

We started in Vancouver. We made Victoria home. And we’ve spent the last decade proving that drywall — done right — changes how your entire home looks and feels.

What Makes Us Different

How Two Tradesmen Built Victoria's Highest-Rated Drywall Team

Most drywall contractors show up, hang board, tape it, and move on. The finish looks fine on day one. Six months later, you see the seams, the cracks, the nail pops, and the imperfections that only appear once the house settles and the light shifts.

We don’t work that way.

Every Finest Finish project follows our proprietary multi-stage finishing system — a structured process developed over a decade of real-world experience in Victoria’s most demanding homes. It includes precision board layout, multi-layer compound application with proper cure times between coats, advanced sanding under controlled lighting, full-surface skim coating when Level 5 is required, and a final inspection that catches what other crews never look for.

Our jobsites are protected with high-performance containment and masking systems. Our crew cleans up at the end of every work day. Our communication is proactive — you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and when we’ll be done. And every project is backed by our exclusive Finest Finish Warranty, custom-discussed with you before work begins.

This is what we mean by white glove service. Not a marketing phrase — an actual operating standard that we hold ourselves to on every single job.

Dylan and Colten were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I have worked with many contractors over my decades of owning more than 2 properties and I can honestly say they were one of the best I have ever worked with. Great pricing, true to their word and quote, on time every day and great quality of work. Highly recommended!

We recently had some kitchen and pantry renovation work done that resulted in the need for some plaster/drywall repair. Dylan and Colten of Finest Finish Painting & Drywall did an excellent job performing the repairs. Additionally, they were prompt, communicated clearly what needed to be done, and did the work on time. I would recommend them highly.

Dylan and Colten are the absolute best. Quality work, fair prices, great communication, professional, considerate and prompt. The list of excellent feedback is too long to list. Finest Finish did an absolutely fantastic job repairing water damage to our kitchen ceiling around a skylight. The repair and paint finish was flawless. They also made a very tight timeline we had work and always showed up with a courteous and happy demeanor. We will be contacting them for all our future home improvement needs.

We hired Finest Finish Paint & Drywall for several stages of our renovation, and the experience was outstanding. They handled everything from major drywall patching after Poly-B plumbing removal to fresh boarding, taping, and mudding after we reconfigured the layout of the house. They also did extensive skim-coat repair on walls that were badly damaged after removing decades-old wallpaper.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of work, their quick response times, and their effort to meet our tight timelines. The value and pricing were excellent as well—truly competitive for the level of craftsmanship delivered.

If you're considering any drywall work, big or small, definitely reach out to Dylan and Colten. Highly recommended!

Working with Dillon and his team from Finest Finish was such a great experience. From inquiry to sending cleanup photos and painting recommendations, communication was 10/10. They turned our rough first attempt at drywalling into perfection. They got started on the project within a week of inquiry and finished a day ahead of schedule. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat!

We hired Finest Finish for drywall work during our renovation, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.

From the first interaction, it was clear this team runs on professionalism and structure. Their communication was prompt, respectful, and super clear. I appreciated how organized they were, they had everything mapped out, from timelines to materials, and followed through exactly as promised.

What stood out the most, though, was the level of care they brought into our home. They treated the space with genuine respect, protecting floors and furniture, and cleaning up each day like true pros. It never felt chaotic, it actually felt smooth and stress free, which is a first for us during all of our renovations.

Their attention to detail was impeccable. The walls and ceilings look flawless, and everything feels solid and beautifully done. You can tell they’ve honed a proper system, not just for drywalling, but for creating an amazing client experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for a company that takes pride in their craft, communicates clearly, and actually respects your space, this is it. Highly recommend!!

Very happy with my experience with finest finish. Colton was really easy to deal with and both Colton and Dillon were incredibly respectful and professional. They did great work and the price was better than the other two companies I reached out to. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.
