Our drywall installation process in Daly Grove, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Daly Grove homes

Every boarding job in Daly Grove starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Daly Grove because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Daly Grove ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Daly Grove 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 Daly Grove

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