Founded in 1974 by Ron Einarsen, Ron's Drywall Ltd. started by doing predominantly residential drywall projects. When there was a downturn in the residential housing market Ron did as all successful business people do; he found a way to keep the work flowing into the company by branching out into commercial and multi-residential projects. While Ron's Drywall Ltd. still does residential work the shift to commercial and multi-residential work has become the main focus of the company's efforts. Constantly evolving in both scope and service Ron's Drywall Ltd. strives to be the leader in the industry and the 'first call' for developers and general contractors looking to build not only in Nanaimo but also up and down Vancouver Island and the rest of the province. The list of contractors that call on Ron's Drywall Ltd. for their services is long and impressive.
