You have to give it to Canada’s Drywall Nation for its endeavors to bring drywall contractors from around the world the opportunity to meet one another and connect. The Sudbury, Ontario drywall subcontractor seemed most eager to meet its peers in the community during this year’s recent INTEX Expo, where Walls & Ceilings met its two founders, Brian Kitchin and Nick Aitchison. Drywall Nation is a drywall and taping company that specializes in custom drywall finishes, such as domes, coffered ceilings, groin vaults, crown molding and wainscotting. But what makes the company truly unique is that it runs an online community for drywallers and finishers to help share tips and tricks as well as share photos and videos of their own work.
Between Kitchin and Aitchison, the two have a combined experience of 20 years in the trade. The company re-branded its existing local business as Drywall Nation in March 2015 due to the online success of its brand.
