Q: Does shiplap cost more than drywall?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">cost to install drywall</a> is between $1.50 and $3 per square foot, while shiplap installation costs between $2 and $7 on average. In most applications, shiplap installations cost more than that of putting in drywall. However, several ways exist to reduce shiplap prices, especially for small locations or accent walls, which can keep the total cost of shiplap competitive with that of drywall. </p></div>

Q: Why should drywall be staggered?

• <div><p>You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you&rsquo;ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity. </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: When hanging drywall, do you start at the top or bottom?

• <div><p>You should always work from top to bottom when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-installation.htm">hanging drywall</a>. There are a few reasons for this. For one, starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight wall between the ceiling and the wall. Plus, moving downward lets you avoid any awkward gaps at the top. It&rsquo;s easier to deal with gaps at the bottom because you can cut the drywall to fit the space or cover the gap with baseboard trim.</p></div>
