Building Excellence Since 1946
About us
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 $5,000 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.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Mental health is vital for everyone, whether you're working on a construction site, in an office, or anywhere in between. In construction, we face unique challenges—demanding schedules, physical strain, and high-pressure environments—but mental well-being is essential in every field. Asking for help is a strength, and support is available to everyone. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers free, confidential help 24/7. Together, we can build more than just structures; we can build a community of care, compassion, and understanding. https://ow.ly/4uxy50TmtYZ #CalDrywall #MoreThanDrywall #SuicidePrevention #ConstructionCares #MentalHealthMatters #988Lifeline #YouMatter #EndTheStigma

Our #CalDrywall teams are currently completing the installation of Kebony cladding for California College of the Arts' innovative new building in San Francisco. This building extends the main campus, featuring a dynamic, multi-layered hub of indoor-outdoor maker spaces, art studios, and social areas, connected by a terraced landscape offering stunning views and ample space for collaboration and creativity. Kebony cladding is known for its sustainability and durability. Made through a patented process that enhances the properties of sustainable softwood, it offers the beauty and resilience of hardwood without the environmental impact. Over time, the cladding naturally patinas and providing long-lasting aesthetic appeal with minimal maintenance.
