Our Story

Orillia Drywall is a family-owned business with a rich history that dates back to 1957, when Maurice Purkiss began installing drywall in the community of Orillia. At a time when most other local companies were still using plaster and lathe, Maurice was the first in the area to pioneer the use of drywall. He also spearheaded specialty drywall finishes including texture applications and crown mouldings, quickly developing a loyal customer base. 

Maurice raised four sons to be proficient in drywall finishing, three of whom went on to work as professional tradesmen. Following Maurice’s passing in the 1990’s, his son John took over the company. Over the last 20 years, John has developed the original family-based team into a tightly-knit group of skilled and conscientious workers. The company’s safety measures, quality control, speciality skills, and years of satisfied customers set Orillia Drywall apart from the rest.

In the last few years, Sarah, John’s eldest daughter is now managing and running the day-to-day of Orillia Drywall and is implementing a vision to expand the company’s reach to all of Central Ontario. 

At Orillia Drywall, we believe in the importance of building long-lasting relationships with our clients and employees. We care deeply about the quality of our work and the satisfaction of our customers. As a thriving and growing company, we look forward to what the future holds next. Thank you for considering Orillia Drywall for your next project.

Orillia drywall completed the finishes of my basement. They completed the work in a diligent and timely manner with good quality. They also vacuumed the space well to keep away any dust. Recommend them for potential clients.
