Products and services

• Drywall / Exterior Finishing Complete interior and exterior drywall solutions including precise installation of top materials, advanced weather barriers, and specialized finishes for new builds or renovations, serving commercial and industrial projects in California.
• Lath & Plaster Traditional wall and ceiling construction technique applying metal lath over a weather barrier system (sometimes incorporating a drainage system) followed by a Portland cement plaster mixture, delivering a smooth durable surface with added insulation and soundproofing benefits.
• Acoustic & Specialty Ceilings Commercial ceiling solutions including acoustic tiles, panels, open-cell systems, and stretched fabrics with optional integrated lighting or fire protection features, designed to enhance sound quality and aesthetic appeal in commercial buildings.
• Spray Applied Fireproofing Cementitious plaster mixture sprayed over structural steel components, hardening into an insulating barrier that slows the spread of heat and flame, providing critical fire protection and additional evacuation/firefighting time for commercial buildings.
• Doors, Frames & Hardware Interior and exterior commercial and multiuse door solutions including wood, steel, interior aluminum, FRP/clean room door assemblies, and commercial hardware, sourced directly from factories for accurate purchasing and experienced installation across California projects.
• Specialties Miscellaneous construction scopes beyond standard toilet partitions and accessories, including window coverings, lockers, bleachers, playground equipment, playground surfacing, artificial turf, shade structures, elevators, and wheelchair lifts, relieving end users of the management responsibilities typically involved.
