Renovation boarding in 1960s and 1970s Crawford Plains homes

The most common drywall installation call from Crawford Plains is renovation work. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Crawford Plains homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing and select the right board thickness so the surface is consistent.

Bathroom and wet-area boarding in Crawford Plains — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Crawford Plains homes require moisture-resistant board behind tile and around any plumbing chase. We hang moisture-resistant board properly so the tile substrate is solid and the installation holds for the long term.

When we finish the boarding, we can finish the taping to Level 4 without fighting the installation underneath.

Our drywall installation process in Crawford Plains, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Crawford Plains homes

Every boarding job in Crawford Plains starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Crawford Plains because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Crawford Plains ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Crawford Plains walls until the ceiling is done. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Crawford Plains

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All Crawford Plains seams land on framing, not between studs. Inside and outside Crawford Plains corners are clean and square. Crawford Plains board does not run past window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Crawford Plains home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.
