Custom drywall skills were utilized extensively to ensure a high-end finish, elevating the aesthetic appeal of the mall’s interior spaces.

But it wasn’t just about aesthetics; functionality and safety were paramount considerations throughout the project’s duration.

One of the standout features of the renovation was the creation of custom light coves and custom drywall light troughs, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the mall’s ambiance.
