How long does drywall installation take in an Chappelle Area home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Chappelle Area are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

For Chappelle Area exterior basement walls, what board do you use?

In Chappelle Area, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Chappelle Area home.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Chappelle Area. In Chappelle Area, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Chappelle Area ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Chappelle Area, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

What board do you use on Chappelle Area exterior basement walls?

Moisture-resistant board on all Chappelle Area exterior foundation walls and around plumbing and laundry. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Chappelle Area home.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Chappelle Area room where they will show through the finish.
