Cory Filgate started the company back in 1995 to service the custom housing market in Sooke, British Columbia. Right from the start T.D.G. The Drywall Guy followed the concept of being fair — fair pricing for customers, fair wages for employees, fair treatment for everyone. This refreshing concept, as well as their dedication to quality workmanship, won the company the preferred vendor position for several custom home builders in the area.

Clients Say
The Drywall Guy was our contractor for our major house renovation. He is honest, efficient, on time, on schedule and overall a pleasure to deal with. His knowledge of his trade, high skill level, commitment to excellence and his integrity with his customers and fellow workers is why we would recommend him for the job.
The Drywall Guy did several renovation jobs in my townhouse and he did an amazing job. People cannot tell where he patched my textured ceiling as the color and the texture in three different rooms were so well matched. Large areas on walls that were patched, taped and sanded look as if it is the original drywall surface. He also scraped off the texture on my kitchen ceiling, including a skylight and then mudded and sanded it to give me a much more useful and cleaner looking ceiling. He was fast, efficient and highly skilled. I would recommend him to anyone and have done so several times.
I used The Drywall Guy for a large addition onto my house. His quote was fair and the job was done quickly, on time and very well done. I would highly recommend his work to anyone and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.
Friendly and professional service. Would definitely recommend and use again!
