Your Local Drywall Experts
Since 1975, New England Drywall Co., Inc. has been built on a straightforward principle: do the work right, be honest with the people you work with, and always do right by the customer. Nearly five decades later, that hasn’t changed. Our services continue to focus on excellence, which is why we provide the best quality work and customer service in the industry.
Since changing ownership in 2008, Steven Benfeito has overseen the company’s growth into a trusted name among contractors across Rhode Island, not because of flashy marketing, but because of a reputation earned one project at a time. Contractors come back because they know what to expect: a team that shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and completes quality work without creating problems for the rest of the job site.
Your Drywall Contractor in Rhode Island
What sets us apart isn’t just the quality of the finished surface; it’s the attention each project receives from start to finish. Every project, regardless of size, gets the same level of care. That means following the plans closely, coordinating with other trades without friction, and being straightforward when something needs to be addressed. No surprises, no shortcuts.
Our work spans metal stud framing, drywall installation and finishing, insulation systems, and exterior sheathing, installed to specification on commercial and residential projects throughout Rhode Island. We provide and install materials, and we stand behind the work we deliver.
Safety is also a core part of how we operate. Our commitment to maintaining professional, well-managed job sites has been recognized through ABC Step Awards from Associated Builders & Contractors, an acknowledgment of the standards we hold ourselves to on every project.
When you work with New England Drywall, you’re working with a company that takes your project seriously, because our reputation depends on it.
