Drywall and Steel Framing Contractor in Simcoe County

Wahlz is based in Barrie. From here we take on interior wall systems for general contractors, developers and builders across Simcoe County, from Barrie, Orillia and Innisfil to Oro-Medonte, Springwater and Bradford: commercial and institutional interiors, multi-residential buildings and custom homes. One contract covers steel framing, insulation, drywall, taping and finishing including Level 5, ACT ceilings, fireproofing, paint and microcement.

Work in the county rarely looks the same twice. A commercial fit-out off Highway 400 in Barrie, an institutional renovation in Orillia, a multi-unit building in Innisfil and a custom home in Midhurst each ask something different of the walls. What they share is the sequence: framing, insulation, inspection, board, finishing and ceilings, usually split across several trades. We run that sequence as one scope, with one team answering for it.

Recent work in Simcoe County

In Barrie, we carried a full church interior build-out, including a youth space, from steel framing through insulation, drywall, finishing, fireproofing, ACT ceilings and some paint. North of Barrie at Horseshoe Valley, our scope at Vetta Spa covered batt, Roxul and spray foam insulation, steel framing, drywall and finishing, inside a building with wood ceilings and timber structure.

Why one contract works on Simcoe County projects

On a typical county job, framing, insulation, board and ceilings are bid by different companies, and every hand-off between them lands on the site super. A missed insulation visit holds up inspection, inspection holds up board, and the ceiling trade arrives to walls that are not ready.

With Wahlz, those steps sit in one schedule. On the church in Barrie, the same team that framed and boarded the walls also handled fireproofing and the ACT ceilings, so the ceiling plane followed the walls in one sequence rather than as a separate negotiation.
