Our Promise
We’re not just finishers — we’re trusted collaborators for top-tier contractors, architects, and designers who expect drywall perfection from the very first pass. Our reputation is built on precision, consistency, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
Whether you’re crafting a boutique retail environment, a curated gallery, a custom luxury residence, or a high-end commercial interior, we go beyond the standard scope. We’re involved from the earliest stages — consulting on layout flow, framing adjustments, board mapping, seam alignment, and finish systems. Every surface is considered. Every joint is intentional.
Our process ensures that your space isn’t just beautiful at completion — it’s built for long-term performance, minimal maintenance, and visual integrity. We help future-proof your project with a level of foresight that reduces callbacks, enhances design cohesion, and elevates the overall finish to meet the standards your clients expect.
Because when the finish matters, contractors don’t take chances — they call us.
Why Contractors Bring Us In
Because they’ve been burned before.
Because they’ve had drywallers who “didn’t see the issue” until it was too late.
Because they’re tired of fixing waves, cracks, shadows, and callbacks — and even more tired of paying for them.
They’ve seen a $10,000 paint job get torn apart from a few crucial drywall mistakes. They know how fast it adds up.
Because They Know the Difference Between “Finished” and “Flawless”
Anyone can finish drywall, but few can make it invisible, tight, and tension-free — especially under premium lighting or critical viewing angles. Contractors at the top don’t want good. They want flawless. Seamless. Untouchable. They want to sleep at night knowing that the drywall work isn’t going to show its flaws 3 weeks after move-in. That’s where we come in.
Because They Want Their Drywallers Trained in the Finest Finish Systems
We don’t just point out mistakes. We eliminate them at the source by training the crew directly — live, on site. No more second-guessing board orientation. No more wasted time re-mudding seams that should’ve been placed better. We teach the system. We deliver the why behind the work — and the transformation sticks long after we leave.
Because We Protect Their Reputation Before It Ever Gets Questioned
A failed drywall job always falls back on the contractor — not the mudder. You could build the finest millwork, install flawless lighting, and pour perfect floors… But if the walls show flaws under light, the whole project feels second-rate. We get called in to protect the contractor’s brand. To safeguard the finished product. To ensure that when the client walks through at final handoff, they’re floored — not frustrated.
Pricing Model – A Strategic Investment, Not an Expense
We charge $2,500 for a 4-hour consultation. That’s not just time — that’s decades of refined systems, passed on in 240 minutes.
Most of our clients save $8,000–$10,000 per project, minimum — just by implementing the changes we identify in one walkthrough.
Here’s the model:
- On-site Consultation (4 hours): $2,500 flat
- Add-on Training Block (1 hour with crew): $500
- Follow-Up Documentation Package (annotated layout plan + board map): $350
- Full Project Oversight (1-week retainer): $9,500
- Includes up to 3 site visits, complete board layout plan, shadow mapping, seam structure guidance, and 1x training session
This service is not for budget builds.
It’s for serious contractors who build showcase homes, precision spaces, and flagship commercial units — and who understand that cutting corners kills reputations
What We Offer
Our premium consulting service is reserved for high-end residential and boutique commercial projects that demand elite results. We don’t subcontract guesswork. We architect outcomes.
Drywall Layout Optimization
Most crews slap up board without understanding the deeper logic of layout sequencing. We engineer the layout to eliminate random butt joints, reduce weak points, and support a seamless flow from start to finish. Your final surface should look intentional—because it was.
Board Mapping for Maximum Efficiency
Wasted board is wasted budget. We create a strategic mapping plan that minimizes cuts, off-cuts, and time spent making things work on-site. This ensures material savings and a cleaner, faster install—especially critical for tight timelines and complex layouts.
Framing Compatibility Audit
Even the best drywallers can’t fix bad framing. We inspect the framing for plumb, flush, and twist—all the micro-details that determine finish quality. This gives your team a solid, trustworthy base, eliminating wave, warp, and pre-failure risks before they even hang board.
Lighting Interaction Planning
Shadows reveal everything. We assess the entire space—including window orientations and artificial lighting angles—to ensure that seams and flaws aren’t exposed by future lighting conditions. This step alone separates premium work from contractor-grade outcomes.
Seam Placement for Structural Integrity
Poor seam placement is the #1 cause of long-term cracking. We guide your crew on where to run seams, how to stagger them, and how to anchor with blocking if necessary—all to build invisible resilience behind every finish.
On-Site Walkthrough & Documentation
We walk the entire site with you and your crew, calling out key areas and delivering clear documentation for follow-up. You get annotated photos, sketch-ups, and written notes—everything required to maintain consistency even when teams rotate.
Optional In-Field Training
We don’t just point fingers—we elevate your crew. Our on-site training gives your drywall team direct access to our proprietary methods, detailing step-by-step how to execute at a superior level. This isn’t theory — it’s legacy – grade mentorship that sticks.
Client Review – From a Boutique Builder in Oak Bay
“Bringing Finest Finish in was a game-changer for us. I’ve been building boutique homes for over 15 years, and drywall has always been the wildcard — it either elevates or compromises everything else. Within 10 minutes of the walkthrough, they identified five critical layout issues that would’ve led to serious aesthetic problems post-paint.
Their ability to map out board layout, audit framing, and train our crew in real time was unlike anything I’ve seen. We avoided over $12,000 in rework, and the final result? Not a single shadow line. No waves. No callbacks.
This isn’t drywall consulting — this is insurance for your reputation. If you’re a serious builder who gives a damn about the final product, you bring in Finest Finish. Period.”

EXCELLENT Based on 78 reviews Caitlyn JoppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Dylan and Colten at Finest Finish. I originally reached out because the paint on my builder-grade kitchen wall had started to peel, and I also had a few areas in the bathroom that needed to be fixed. From the very beginning, Dylan was incredible. His response time was fast, and he took the time to walk me through exactly what was going on, why it was happening (especially in a new build), and what needed to be done to correct it properly. What really stood out to me was how professional, knowledgeable, and thorough both Dylan and Colten were. They didn’t just patch things up, they took the time to ensure the job was done right and to a standard that not only met my expectations as a homeowner but also their own high expectations as professionals. They have treated my home with care, were respectful of my space, and managed to deliver a beautiful, seamless finish that honestly looks better than what the builder originally did. On top of being masters of their trade, Dylan and Colten are also exceptional human beings. They are kind, thoughtful, and have been a true pleasure to have in my home. I have felt completely at ease throughout the entire process and I'm genuinely excited to keep working with them as I turn my new condo into my dream home. If you're looking for skilled professionals who take pride in their work, communicate clearly, and genuinely care about the quality of the outcome, I can’t recommend Finest Finish enough. Dylan and Colten are truly the real deal. Margrieta EdelsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A company that truly lives up to its name: FINEST FINISH!!! Dylan and Colton were professional, punctual, personable, and a delight to have in our home. Due to some complications (not of their doing) some other trades had to be involved, and Dylan and. Colton made sure they worked seamlessly with them, to ensure schedules were maintained. Their workmanship is exemplary, and they use the finest products. So great to witness the pride they have in their work. We continue to marvel at what a difference it made to our condo to have them repaint it! Well worth the cost. We give Dylan and Colton 10/10 recommendation! Geoff RiceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where to start?? Colten and Dylan are two of the best tradespeople I have worked with in a very long time. They drywalled over stucco ceilings in 3 rooms. They were incredibly detailed in their estimate and description of the work to be done. They thought of every detail, including the hardness and protection of our fir floors. Aside from their professionalism, they were on time with the entire project and their team was great to deal with. I have seen some other comments saying they are expensive, but worth it. We found they were competitively priced compared to other quotes and provided better service. Frank SteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fantastic experience from start to finish! Dylan and Colten were knowledgeable, courteous, detail oriented, prompt, efficient and clean. They assigned a mudding expert (Shane) who made our drywall look better than new. If we could give them 6 stars, we would! Thanks again. Zach CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had the pleasure of working with numerous drywall companies, but Dylan & Colton at Finest Finish Drywall stand out as the best. Their work quality is outstanding and exceeds our expectations, which are based on extensive past experience. They are consistently punctual, maintain a clean work environment, demonstrate reliability, and are always willing to address any questions I may have. I highly recommend Dylan & Colton to anyone requiring drywall services. They are our go-to drywall company. Jay RaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for Finest Finish. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure. Their professionalism, clarity in communication, and commitment to excellence make every project a seamless experience. Finest Finish consistently refers us to others in the industry, which speaks volumes about their trust in our work. It's clients like them that inspire us to bring our best to every job. Thank you, Finest Finish, for your continued support and collaboration. We look forward to many more successful projects together! Shawn TothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dylan and Colten for the past three years as one of their suppliers. Throughout this time, they have consistently demonstrated professionalism and outstanding customer service. I can only imagine that working with them as a client would be a relaxing and well-informed experience. My company has recommended them for several projects over the years, and the feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. They’ve been praised for their exceptional quality of work, timely job completions, and top-notch service. Clients have also spoken highly of Dylan and Colten for their fair and transparent pricing. During my site visits to inspect the products we deliver, I’m always impressed by the high quality and attention to detail they bring to each project. I highly recommend checking out photos of their work online and giving them a call – after just a brief conversation, you’ll likely be convinced to work with them. rob swainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As the owner of HSC Carpentry and a contractor/carpenter with over a decade of experience in custom homes, i can not express enough how important it is to choose the right trade for the job. As someone who does this type of work because he truly loves what he does, it is very hard to come by other trades who share the same mentality. I've seen many times now where drywallers would do poor work, and the screws and seams would fail/pop through after only a short period of time and completely ruin a beautiful home. At Finest Finish, I can guarantee you that this will not happen. Working with his crew many times and seeing their system in play, i can guarantee you that not only will their work look amazing the day after, but many, many years to come. You will not find a better drywall company in Victoria. By all means, they are not cheap. But I can promise you that their quality is worth the price. Working closely with both Dylan and Colten, i can also tell you the quality of work isn't the only thing you're paying for. They both give some of the best customer service I've seen on a jobsite. I highly recommend Finest Finish Painting & Drywall. Giuseppe ValentinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dylan has a great team that I highly recommend to anyone looking to renovate! Manav ChadhaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dylan at Finest Finish Painting & Drywall is the real deal. He is solid, diligent, and always strategic in his approach. He’s on the ball with operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. A true man of his word, he delivers exactly what he promises—exceptional craftsmanship and professionalism. Highly recommend!Showing our latest reviews
