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.

How long does drywall installation take in an Crestwood home?

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

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

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