PEO for drywall contractors
Lifting, stilts, scaffolding, and dust make drywall a real workers’ comp exposure — a PEO can put your hanging and finishing crews under a master program and run payroll, HR, and benefits.
Request PEO quotes →Drywall contractors run real exposures — heavy lifting, stilts and scaffolding, repetitive motion, and dust — so workers’ compensation is required and underwritten for the hazard. A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) becomes the administrative employer of record: placing your hanging and finishing crews under a master workers’ comp program (commonly pay-as-you-go), running multi-state and certified payroll with the right class codes, and handling HR and benefits, while you keep control of the crews and the work.
Why drywall contractors use a PEO
- •Pay-as-you-go workers’ comp. Place hanging and finishing crews under a master program billed on actual payroll — easing deposits and audits. Generally intended to respond to covered on-the-job injuries.
- •Certificates & additional insured. Produce the COIs and additional-insured documentation GCs and builders require before crews mobilize.
- •Multi-state & certified payroll. Run payroll and tax filings across jurisdictions, with drywall class codes and prevailing-wage / certified-payroll support for public jobs.
- •HR & benefits for the trade. Onboarding, compliance, and access to benefits that help recruit and retain skilled hangers and finishers.
