Drywall hang and finish

When the Drywall work is completed, a building begins to look like a building, and the multi-year project's completion date approaches. This is a key stage in the project because the Drywall contractor's work is the most visible to the owner and is subject to the greatest scrutiny.



Nonetheless, we thrive in even the most difficult, intricate, and delicate jobs. Our leadership team has over three decades of industry experience and is well-versed in a wide range of materials and finishes. We will install a wide range of items to meet the needs of each project.

Before and After Drywall Ceilling

Before replacing your ceiling for a drywall ceiling ensure that there are no latent problem that can cause damage. Sagging, warped, moldy, or wet drywall is usually caused by a moisture source. If there is an attic above the damage, the roofing system is most likely faulty. If the damage is below a higher story, there is usually a plumbing issue.


We can take care of your ceiling by following these steps:

  • Clearing out Attic Insulation
  • Removing the Old Drywall
  • Adding Nailing Strips
  • Screwing in the New Drywall Panel
  • Taping and Mud

Drywall Finishing Levels from 0 to 5

Level 0 Drywall

There will be no taping, finishing, or accessories. This level of finish may be useful during temporary construction or when the final decoration is unknown.


Level 1 Drywall

On all joints and internal angles, apply a single coat of taping set in a joint compound. Frequently specified in plenum spaces above ceilings, attics, areas where the assembly would normally be covered or in building service corridors, and other non-public areas. Sound and smoke control is given to some extent.


Level 2 Drywall

All joints, interior angles, fastener heads, and accessories should be double-coated with joint compound. Non-finished regions behind tile and built-ins, garages, warehouse storage, and other comparable places where surface appearance is secondary.


Level 3 Drywall

Tape imbedded in joint compound, with two applications of joint compound on fastener heads and accessories. Typically used in home interiors and appearance areas where heavy- or medium-textured (spray or hand applied) finishes are to be used before final painting, or when heavy-grade wall coverings are to be applied as the final decoration. When smooth painted surfaces or light to medium wall coverings are specified, this level of polish is not suggested.

Level 4 Drywall

Tape embedded in joint compound, with two separate coats of joint compound applied to all flat joints and one layer applied to interior angles. Three coatings of joint compound were applied on fastener heads and accessories. This level is generally utilized for applying flat paints, mild textures, or wall coverings. Flat paints put over light textures in crucial lighting areas tend to reduce joint photography. Over this level of finish, gloss, semi-gloss, and enamel paints are not advised.


Level 5 Drywall

The entire surface was given a thin skim coat of joint compound. Tape imbedded in joint compound applied to all joints and interior angles, as well as two distinct coats of joint compound applied to all flat joints and one application of joint compound applied to interior angles. Three coatings of joint compound were applied on fastener heads and accessories. Where gloss, semi-gloss, enamel, or non-textured flat paints are specified, or where harsh lighting circumstances exist, this level of finish is strongly recommended. This high-quality polish is the most effective way to achieve a consistent surface and reduce the likelihood of joint photography and fasteners showing through the final decorating.

Drywall finishing Levels

Level 0: No accessories, trim, or wrapping required.

This degree of finish can be useful when intermediate work is being done or when the final decoration has yet to be determined.


Level 1: Bare clasps and exposed butt tape. Combs and instrument marks are fine. In some regions, this level is called "fire tapping."


Level 2: Connecting tape implanted; clasps covered once. Combs and instrument marks are fine. The application of sealant to the body of the tape when sealing the tape should be considered as a separate sealant layer and meet the requirements of this level.


Level 3: Two layers on the fasteners, one layer on the seam tape. Without combs and traces of tools.


Level 4: Three layers on the fasteners and two layers on the sewn-in tape. All joints should be smooth, without bumps and traces of tools.


Level 5: A "peel" of seam compound is applied to the entire surface, two coats are applied to the built-in seam tape, and three coats are applied to the fasteners. The surface must be even, free of burrs and tool marks.

Drywall sanding

As with other refurbishment projects, having the right equipment is essential to getting a great result. You will need a handheld drywall sander, a box of pre-cut 150 grit drywall sanding paper for the sander, and a sanding sponge for the corners and fine details.

FAQs

  • Best way to cut drywall

    A razor or utility knife is most commonly used for cutting drywall. You hammer in the panel, press it, and it clicks! Now you have a fresh, new edge.

  • Can I use wood screws for drywall?

    Remember that screws are named for the material they are intended for when choosing between drywall screws and wood screws. Therefore, drywall requires drywall screws, while wood requires wood screws. Wood screws are made from a variety of materials, including steel, while drywall screws are mostly made from steel.

  • What is a skim coat?

    A protective layer, commonly referred to as grime, is a thin coating of joint drywall sealer that gives walls a glass-smooth sheen—used to smooth out specially crafted wall textures and repair damaged walls. Particular walls have an orange peel finish or a textured finish.

  • How long does it take to hang drywall?

    Two professionals can usually clean a 12' x 16' room in one hour. It takes skill and a few specialized tools to work this fast. But it's not just about speed when hanging drywall.
