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 did a great job on our drywall repair and painting project. They were professional, thorough, transparent, friendly, and punctual. And most importantly, the quality of their work was impeccable! Cost and time estimates were spot on. They protected all the surroundings beforehand and cleaned up meticulously. Not to mention the value for money was very high compared to other quotes we received for the same job. See the before and after photos.

Dylan was wonderful throughout the contract. The communication was clear and regular. The job site was kept clean and organized. He offered a fair quote for the work and explained all the steps. He managed to start the job in a short time frame to allow for my move in dates. The ceiling looks wonderful, he fixed a bunch of holes in my drywall, and he was generous with advice about how to proceed with the priming and painting. I will happily hire him again next time I need any drywall jobs!

The boys did an amazing job by having our stippled ceiling vanished by plastering over the stipple leaving a clean look to the room. When all done and painted the room felt taller and bigger without the stipple on the ceiling. The 3 musketeers team work and their easy going manner made the project stress free knowing one is in good hands.

As a fellow trades worker here on Southern Vancouver Island I typically struggle with hiring out for projects around my home as I hold such high expectations after being in the industy for so long. The team at FF not only surpassed all expectations in terms of quality and workmanship but their communication throughout put my mind at ease at each stage of the project. They were tidy, polite, respectful and delivered right on time. Thankyou team!

“There is no substitute for experience”. The lads at Finest Finish definitely have no shortage of that! But along with their vast experience and knowledge they also have passion for their work and a calmness about them that only comes from completely knowing their stuff. Dylan and Colten are organized, efficient, professional and very easy to communicate with. They are also just nice guys. As someone who has been a professional carpenter for many, many years, I respect honesty and integrity in tradespeople as much as I respect a high skill level. Finest Finish has all of the above.
I recommend them highly for their workmanship and as people.

Working with Finest Finish was incredibly refreshing. Dylan and Colten were easy to communicate with and they managed to schedule my job in the same week. They were both respectful of my house and did a fantastic job while coming in at a lower cost than what was initially quoted. They were also the best priced option in comparison to other companies.
