ABOUT UNIVERSAL WALLBOARD
Building Southern Arizona Since 1972
OUR STORY.
Universal Wallboard Corporation began in 1972 with a simple commitment: deliver quality commercial drywall and metal framing that general contractors can rely on. Over five decades later, that commitment remains unchanged—even as we’ve grown to become Southern Arizona’s largest and most experienced commercial drywall contractor.
We’ve shaped the region’s skyline one project at a time. From the iconic domes of Biosphere 2 to the 14-story Ari apartments on Fourth Avenue, from every major hospital system to university athletic facilities—our work defines the spaces where Southern Arizonans live, work, heal, and learn.
With 20,000+ completed projects, we’ve worked with every major general contractor in the region. We’ve installed metal framing in high-rises, precision drywall assemblies in operating rooms, complex acoustical systems in performing arts centers, and everything in between. This breadth of experience is our specialty—we’re not limited by project type, scale, or complexity.
Our management team brings decades of combined expertise. We maintain a 24,000+ square foot facility, a substantial fleet, and the resources to handle multiple large-scale projects simultaneously. We’re ISNetworld certified, meeting the stringent safety and compliance requirements that major industrial clients demand.
More than 50 years in business means we’ve weathered economic cycles, adapted to changing building codes, and continuously invested in our people and processes. When general contractors choose Universal Wallboard, they’re choosing a partner with proven staying power and a track record that speaks for itself.
“More projects than anyone in Tucson. That’s not marketing—it’s just fact.”
