Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between drywall, Sheetrock, and gypsum board?
These terms all refer to essentially the same product. Sheetrock is actually a brand name of drywall, while gypsum board describes the material composition. We use high-quality drywall products from trusted manufacturers.
How long does new drywall need to dry before painting?
Typically, newly finished drywall should cure for 24-48 hours before priming and painting. Our integrated process ensures proper timing between drywall completion and painting.
Can drywall be installed in any room?
Yes, though different types of drywall are recommended for different environments. We select moisture-resistant drywall for bathrooms and basements, fire-resistant drywall where required by code, and standard drywall for most living spaces.
Is insulation installed before or after drywall?
Insulation is installed before drywall. We can coordinate with insulation contractors or verify existing insulation before beginning drywall installation.
Do you handle all aspects of drywall installation?
Yes, we provide complete drywall services from hanging (installation) through finishing and painting. This comprehensive approach ensures quality control throughout the entire process.
