What are two common mistakes made during drywalling?

• <div><p>Two of the biggest mistakes with drywalling are not measuring (and therefore buying the wrong amount of drywall) and trying to install drywall yourself. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-sheet-of-drywall-weigh.htm">sheet of drywall can weigh</a> around 50 pounds, so it can be difficult to install without a pro or at least some experienced friends willing to help with a DIY installation. It can also get expensive if you don’t measure at least twice before buying the drywall sheets. </p></div>

When should I not use drywall anchors?

• <div><p>Drywall anchors aren’t necessary if there’s a stud behind the wall where you’ll be working. Studs are strong enough to support screws on their own, but they don’t run throughout the wall. If you’re doing a project that involves the entire wall and not just one part (like hanging a small painting or photo), odds are you’ll need drywall anchors at some point in the process. </p></div>

Q: Is a drywall ceiling or drop ceiling more affordable?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">Installing drywall will cost</a> between <b>$1.50 and $3 per square foot</b> for materials, labor, and finishing, which is quite a bit lower than the average of <b>$9 to $13 per square foot</b> for a drop-tile ceiling. So, while drop ceilings allow more design flexibility, provide easy access to utility lines above them, and are often much easier and less expensive to repair, they do cost more upfront. You can minimize your drop ceiling cost by opting for more affordable fiberboard panels, although some homeowners don&rsquo;t like the look of this material.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for completing an installation?

• <div><p>Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on customization and venting setup.</p></div>

Q: Do grab bars need to be installed in studs?

• <div><p>For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. </p></div>
