Meridian Quality Drywall is the new construction drywall page for Meridian, Idaho. Production plats in south Meridian and Kuna, and custom homes toward Eagle and Hidden Springs, get hung, taped, and textured after rough-in, not before.
A homeowner installation is one room or a basement. New construction is a sequence: inspections, hang, tape, texture, punch. The houses look similar: 2x6 exteriors, bonus rooms over garages, knockdown throughout, 5/8-inch Type X on the garage. The ones that look good after paint had a hanger who shimmed the bad studs and a taper who did three coats.
Production vs custom new construction
Production is speed and a Level 4 plus knockdown. Custom is tall foyers, trays, radius walls, and often a Level 5 in the main living areas. Same trade. Different hours. A builder who wants both at production pricing gets neither.
Treasure Valley summers cook unconditioned new builds. Board stored bowed in a garage takes a set. Winter mud in a house with no heat checks. Heat in the room is part of the drywall schedule here, not a luxury.
What a builder should send with the call
Address, stage (rough-in passed or not), finish schedule, ceiling heights, and whether the garage bonus room is in this phase. Call with that. The contractor quotes the hang, not a square-foot guess from another market.

Common questions
When should drywall be scheduled on a new Meridian home?
After mechanical, electrical, and plumbing inspections, and after insulation if the plan calls for it before board. Hanging over uninspected rough-in is how you tear board back out.
How long from hang to paint-ready on a production home?
Often a week or two of hang, tape, texture, and dry time if the house has heat and it is not a freeze. Custom homes with tall walls and Level 5 take longer. Mud has to dry. That is chemistry, not a promise.
What board goes where on a new Treasure Valley house?
1/2-inch regular on interior walls. 5/8-inch Type X on garage ceilings and the wall between garage and house. Moisture-resistant board in baths and laundry. Cement board in the shower. Ceilings over 24-inch joists take 5/8-inch.
Do you do punch-list drywall after other trades?
Yes. Fastener pops after the wood dries, corner dings, and texture holidays get fixed before final, not after the homeowner has painted.
