Q: Can you put drywall directly on ceiling joists?

• <div><p>Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.</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: 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: 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: Do you put mesh on before or after drywall mud?

• <div><p>Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you&rsquo;ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.</p></div>

Really well. Friendly, easy to work with. He kept us updated along the way. He cleaned the areas well when done. The only drawback was that he got caught up at another job one day, so his timeline was a bit off for meeting us as scheduled. Otherwise, very happy with his work.
