Q: Do you have to replace drywall after water damage?

• <div><p>Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.</p></div>

Q: What is standard drywall thickness?

• <div><p>Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is <b>1/2-inch thick</b>. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications. </p></div>

Q: Why are studs 16 inches apart?

• <div><p>In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called &quot;on-center&quot; and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called &quot;advanced framing&quot;. This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity. </p></div>

Q: Can I install drywall myself?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-installation.htm">DIY install drywall</a>, but it is a deceptively complicated process that can be quite frustrating if you don&rsquo;t have experience. Prepare to cut and screw drywall, leave the proper gap distance for any seams, never leave the end of a piece of drywall hanging off of a stud, and cut out around electrical boxes and switches. Plus, getting the drywall to look good is challenging, especially when taping and spackling. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to hire a professional drywall installer to ensure high-quality results.</p></div>

Q: What are common commercial drywall issues?

• <div><p>Cracks, holes, water damage, and dents from heavy equipment often require repair.</p></div>

I highly recommend A1 Quality Construction. We were looking to have 3 rooms in our basement framed, new electrical, drywall, floor and trimmed out. Dan was quick to meet with me to review my project and he provided an initial quote the same day, which was quite a bit less than the...

We hired him to have our basement finished. At first, he was very responsive. They came out to my house 3 days in a row and worked for a few hours. The first thing I noticed was that they had taken the screen out of the egress window and had forgotten to replace it, and they left the window wide...

When the estimate was given, there was NO mention that I would have to hire someone else for the small drywall repair. This was a total surprise to me, an inconvenience, and it doubled the cost of the project. On top of that, the electricians did not use drop cloths to cover the work area. This...

They seem to do good work, but they were HORRIBLE at communication. We waited for more than a month for them to start our job, all the while being assured every Friday afternoon that come Monday morning, they would be there and "camp out" until the job was done. Never happened. They were start...

Fantastic. The water pipe had burst due to the below zero temps. After we had a company come out and fix the pipe, Randy came out and immediately started to fix the damage from water stains and drywall damage. The time taken to fix the area was about 12 hours due to letting the mud, sealant,...
