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: How much drywall do I need for a 1,000-square-foot basement?

• <div><p>The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You&rsquo;ll also need enough <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-nails-vs-screws.htm">drywood nails or screws</a> to install the drywall correctly.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a nail in drywall hold?

• <div><p>A nail in drywall cannot hold very much&mdash;usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors&mdash;toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight. </p></div>

Q: Should I sand between coats of drywall mud?

• <div><p>You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you&rsquo;ll need. Don&rsquo;t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.</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>

Michael repaired water damage to our living room ceiling. This included repairing drywall, mudding and texturing ceiling and repainting the ceiling in the living room and hallway. He was always polite, very responsive with all communications, was always on time, and helpful in all ways.
