Wall Systems Co.
Front-of-house has to photograph well under decorative light. Back-of-house has to survive moisture and cleaning. We sequence containment, finishes, and coatings so service paths stay sane and your soft open is not fighting wet film.
Food service reality
Turnover is loud, humidity is real, and guests notice odor faster than they notice a straight corner. We align drywall, finish, and coatings to how the house actually runs.
Risk: Treating every wall the same invites callbacks: FOH needs plane perfection under decorative light while BOH needs washability and moisture-smart systems.
How we control it: We specify and execute finishes and coatings by zone, aligned to cleaning chemistry and exposure. Transitions between BOH and FOH are planned, not accidental.
Risk: Steam finds weak detailing. The wrong board or coating story fails after service starts, not during punch.
How we control it: Moisture-prone walls get assemblies and coatings matched to manufacturer guidance and your exhaust reality. We flag detailing that needs attention before mud and paint lock it in.
Risk: Skipping dry gates to hit a date creates odor complaints and coating damage when chairs and carts return too early.
How we control it: We publish dry-time gates next to your turnover milestones and protect cure windows in the schedule. When a date is impossible without risk, we say it early with options.
Risk: Drywall dust in a prep line or dry storage is not a cleaning problem. It is an operations stop.
How we control it: Negative-air logic when needed, hard boundaries at kitchen openings, and disciplined end-of-shift reset. Stock moves and service paths are respected in the plan.
Risk: Low-odor products help, but they do not replace ventilation discipline. Overselling “zero smell” sets false expectations for staff and neighbors.
How we control it: We coordinate application timing with hood and make-up air capability, choose systems we can execute on your clock, and communicate realistic odor windows to ops and neighbors.
What we deliver
Planes and corners tuned for decorative lighting, brand color, and the sightlines guests see from the host stand and dining floor.
Kitchen-adjacent corridors, dish areas, and wash stations detailed for humidity and cleaning cycles.
Primer and topcoat builds that match manufacturer limits for steam, grease-adjacent exposure, and washdown where applicable.
Sequencing for loud work when the house is closed, with cleanup that clears paths before service prep begins.
Field process
Same crew line from protection through final coat with checkpoints written for chefs, GMs, and supers.
01
Drawings, hood and exhaust notes, turnover targets, and which spaces must stay food-safe during work.
02
Hard boundaries at kitchen openings, protected paths for staff, and dust control that keeps prep and storage out of the story.
03
Backing, chases, and rated details coordinated with kitchen equipment and MEP before finish closes access.
04
FOH planes brought to the right level for sheen and color. BOH brought to washability reality.
05
Primer and topcoats sequenced around cure, exhaust, and reopening. Odor windows communicated to leadership.
06
Walk aligned to how diners see the room. Short punch, fast close, cleaning guidance that matches manufacturer and health expectations.
