For weeks, it’s been all wires, beams, and pipes. But now, something big happens—the drywall stage. It’s the moment when your new construction home finally starts to feel like home.

At New Peak Homes, we know the drywall stage is one of the most exciting milestones in your build. It's the moment where open framing becomes livable space, and the vision in your head finally takes shape in front of your eyes. Here's what makes this stage so special—and what to expect when it arrives.

What Happens During the Drywall Stage

Once framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and insulation are complete and approved by inspectors, it’s time to seal it all in. During the drywall stage, large sheets of gypsum board are installed on the walls and ceilings, giving your home actual shape and form.

You’ll walk into the space and suddenly be able to say, “This is the kitchen,” “This is our bedroom,” or “Look how open this living room feels!” It transforms the experience from abstract to personal.

Why the Drywall Stage Is a Big Deal

Room definition becomes real. You can now see wall heights, traffic flow, and how natural light plays in each space.
It marks a turning point. After this, the messy construction phase gives way to cleaner interior work like painting, flooring, and trim.
You’ll start finalizing finishes. The drywall stage signals that it's time to start making key decisions on paint colors, lighting fixtures, and even furniture layout.

This is also a great time to document your home’s inner workings—many clients like to take photos of the walls before they’re covered for future reference (where are those wires, pipes, or studs?).

Tips for Homeowners During the Drywall Stage

Visit your home if you can. This is one of the most rewarding walkthroughs in the process.
Review your selections. Now’s the time to visualize how your flooring, cabinetry, and finishes, paint colors, etc will tie together.
Ask questions. If something feels off in layout or lighting, it’s better to address it before the next stages begin and we're all for this step because your home is about you!
