Professional Drywall Construction Inc. is a massive drywall contractor headquartered in the New England area. The company focuses on major builds and renovations, concentrating mostly in the education, medical and retail industries. The company has grown large enough to accommodate virtually any size project and—despite the contractor’s name—it offers way more than just drywall (see Sidebar). The company is skilled in structural framing and designing, installing acoustical sound systems and insulation. The company can work on smaller construction projects as well, such as installing toilet partitions, doors and hardware. PDC is “cleanroom certified” and certified to install firestopping. Perhaps most notably, PDC is also skilled at designing and installing custom-cut drywall systems. It uses a combination of gypsum, wood, plastic and cement board to complete intricate and complex assemblies while keeping costs down.
Headquartered in Springfield, Mass., its owners Ron Perry and Nick Shaink spoke with W&C recently to discuss business, challenges and other industry-related topics. PDC has been in business since 1994. Perry and Shaink took over as owners in 2018. Today, the subcontractor employs more than 300 employees.
