A Sande Family Business Since 1980.

We are a family-run drywall and construction company based in Lake Helen, Florida. Allen, Lisa, and Amanda run the operation, and the name on the truck is the same name you will hear on the phone.
Our story

Four Decades of Doing Drywall the Right Way.

Allen Sande started Allen’s Drywall in 1980, hanging board and taping seams for builders across Volusia County. Allen and his late brother Carl were the original Sande’s doing drywall in West Volusia, and that first-generation standard is still the one we hold our crews to. The company was incorporated in 1992 and has stayed family-run since. Three decades on, the same Sande family is in the field, in the office, and on every quote.
We grew the way most good contractors grow: one builder at a time told another builder we showed up, did clean work, and finished on the day we said we would. Today we run drywall, remodels, and new construction across Volusia, Seminole, Lake, and Flagler counties, for homeowners who want a real conversation about their project and for general contractors who need a sub they can count on.
We pull permits as a Florida Certified Building Contractor (license CBC054530), we have worked with the Better Business Bureau since 1996, and we run an accident-free jobsite. The work is the advertising. That has been our position since 1980 and we have not found a reason to change it.

How we work

Four Things We Have Stuck With.

Integrity

The quote you sign is the bill you pay. Change orders only when scope actually changes.

Respect

Crews show up clean, work quietly, and treat your house like it is still yours during the job.

Continuum Development

We are still learning new techniques, new products, and better ways to run a jobsite after 40+ years.

Best Practices

Just-In-Time material ordering, vetted trade partners, and an accident-free jobsite history we work hard to protect.

Where we work

Where We Work.

Based in Lake Helen, we cover Volusia County and a few neighboring towns. Most of our work is across Volusia, both the inland west side around DeLand and the Atlantic coast from New Smyrna to Daytona. We also take select projects in Seminole, Lake, and Flagler counties.
