Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors
What is the legal definition of a commercial drywall company?
The liablility insurance that I have claims that I am more of a remdeling contractor than a drywall company. But yet we installed over 1,000,000 sq. ft. of the product last year. Most commercial contractors do instal both metal suds & drywall at the same time to ensure a rigid & durable wall system.

- its not the legal you need its the insurance companies guidlines for what is considered commercial looking at it i would say because you install framing they are considering you a remodeling contractor. dont consern yourself with small details its the bottom line you should consern yourself with . what is it costing you and what would it be if yu went commercial i used to own a drywall contacting company and just hung and finished. on occasion i would add a studor two to fix an issue. you could be saving alot of money by not being commercial.
- In Utah we call them Drywall Contractors. They have to have a license if its Commercial or Residential. We dont see a difference. Out license for them is as follows. S274 - Drywall Contractor. Fabrication, construction and installation of drywall, gypsum. wallboard panels and assemblies. Preparation of surfaces for suitable painting or finishing. Installation of lightweight metal, non-bearing wall partitions. If you do the walls thats another license. S273 - Light-weight Metal and Non-bearing Wall Partitions Contractor. Fabrication and/or installation of light-weight metal and other non-bearing wall partitions. Im sure most states are probably the same. Google "Dept of Professional Licenses (enter your state)" Im sure it will give you the legal names for your state. Those would be our 2 legal names in Utah. Light-weight Metal and Non-Bearing Wall Partitions Contractor and Drywall Contractor. Your state might combine them, ours doesnt. Good Luck
- sounds like you need another liability insurance company as at 1 million sq feet you are definitely a commercial dry wall contractor, and not a re modeler, you may not frame out ( as some do not, ) but you are definitely a commercial contractor, the last thing you want is to be mis classified for insurance purposes and then the day a claim is filed you would be denied due to wrong classification
