How do I find a reliable drywall installer?

• <div><p>You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a>, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.</p></div>

What is the best way to cut drywall?

• <div><p>The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.</p></div>

Q: Do you hang drywall on the ceiling or wall first?

• <div><p>It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical lifespan of a drywall installation?

• <div><p>The average life span for drywall is between 40 and 60 years, although panels can last significantly longer in many cases if it&rsquo;s well-maintained. Of course, many things can reduce the life span of your drywall, including fire, smoke damage, water, moisture, and physical damage, like dents and holes. Thankfully, you&rsquo;re likely to get around 50 years of value out of professionally-installed drywall, making the $2,000 you&rsquo;ll spend on the job well worth it in the long run.</p></div>

Q: Can drywall be installed in an unheated garage?

• <div><p>You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.</p></div>

It went great. Mr. Parker was excellent with helping us get all the money we deserved from the insurance company. The roofers were excellent, they tore off and installed the roof in one day. Mr. Parker also patiently worked around our timing to complete the interior drywall work.
