Our drywall installation process in Rural North East Horse Hill, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Rural North East Horse Hill homes

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

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