Miller homeowners finishing new development basements call us to do the boarding before the taping crew. We hang ceiling board first, wall board second, with moisture-resistant on exterior foundation walls and any wall adjacent to plumbing rough-in.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Miller?

We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.
