How can I save money on drywall installation?

• <div><p>You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees</p></li><li><p>Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint</p></li><li><p>Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest</p></li><li><p>DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should you glue a drywall ceiling?

• <div><p>You can prevent air leaks and sagging by gluing a drywall ceiling. However, not every drywall job is a good fit for Sheetrock adhesive, and many pros say ceilings are one of those cases. When you place them properly, drywall screws make ceiling Sheetrock part of your home’s structural support system. </p><p>Adding glue won’t increase the strength of the drywall, and it can make it much harder for you to remove and replace damaged drywall. Adhesive can bridge gaps, though, and it can keep temperature-controlled air from escaping or entering through the ceilings, making rooms more energy efficient.</p></div>

Q: Is it easier to finish horizontal or vertical drywall seams?

• <div><p>How you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-always-needed-hard-do-right.htm">hang the drywall</a> can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.</p></div>

Q: Can drywall mudding be done in one day?

• <div><p>Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn&rsquo;t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.</p></div>

Q: How long does thinset take to dry?

• <div><p>The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room&rsquo;s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast. </p></div>

They did a fabulous job! We are totally pleased with the result. It took so much work to get all the old wallpaper off and holes filled and then totally repainted after the removal of curtain rods and shelves. Gary and Rob were easy to work with, especially when I changed my mind about the...

Everything on this project has progressed smoothly from start to the current stage. There were no real hiccups that weren't easily dealt with. A wall was moved, which put a heater vent from inside to outside the bathroom. They simply cut a new hole inside the bathroom, and covered over the old...

Brett did great. He was very good about cleaning up and making sure he didn't get dust everywhere. He worked with me to make decision and took the time to explain the the different options. If we ever needed someone to drywall again we would use him.
