Is it cheaper to shiplap or drywall a fireplace?

• <div><p>It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe. </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>

Q: Does drywall need to be replaced after smoke damage?

• <div><p>You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It&rsquo;s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.</p></div>

Q: Are furring strips required for ceiling drywall?

• <div><p>Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">drywall installation</a>. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.</p></div>
