California Drywall Co

In 1946, Leonard Eckstrom, a salesman for United States Gypsum, saw a bright future in a product called drywall. Grabbing that opportunity, he opened California Drywall in the Santa Clara Valley. The company began by installing and finishing drywall to residential properties, including the innovative Eichler homes of the 1960’s. Decades later our focus is commercial construction projects and our services have expanded to include Acoustical & Specialty Ceilings, Fireproofing, Lath and Plaster, Painting, Rainscreens, and Strut Systems. We also offer a full range of services to help our clients meet their construction challenges. They include preconstruction, estimating, constructability reviews and engineering judgements, design-assist and design-build, prefabrication, and BIM. We are consistently ranked among the largest Specialty Contractors in California and United State by ENR (Engineering News Record). This year we were ranked the 9th largest wall and ceiling contractor in the nation and the largest in California. With approximately 700 full-time field personnel, California Drywall has the largest union drywall, taper, lath and plaster workforce in the region. Our projects range from to over $90 million. Just as Leonard Eckstrom helped transform the construction industry in 1946, today California Drywall recognizes the importance of embracing innovation. We believe in change and are committed to investigating new and innovative products, technologies, training and procedures to improve our processes, services and management practices, ensuring we stay on top of changes within our industry and the changing needs of our clients. Through our passion for construction and forward thinking, we continuously diversify our skill set to separate us from our competition and help our clients succeed.
