Does it matter which way you lay drywall?

• <div><p>It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound. </p></div>

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>

Q: Does it matter which way you lay drywall?

• <div><p>It doesn&rsquo;t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It&rsquo;s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound. </p></div>

Q: What is a typical drywall finish level?

• <div><p>Level 4 is the most commonly used drywall finish for visible interior walls. Finishing the drywall to Level 4 rovides a smooth surface ready to be painted with flat paint. </p><p>Level 2 and 3 finishing are also common, particularly on walls that will get covered.</p></div>

Q: Is drywall safe to cut?

They went above and beyond what other contractors would have done. One room only had studs, no drywall. In this room they installed some drywall so that the wall unit could be mounted. They are absolutely wonderful and they will be the only company that I will use and recommend. I am so glad...

Overall I was very happy with the job that Mike White and his employee's did on our house. The previous home owners of our house put on a new roof approximately 5 years prior to our purchase. I think the roofer they hired was blind, as it turned out to be some of the most shoddy work I had...

"I recently bought a new house in Cobbs Creek, VA, and hired Custom Brush Painting with Pedro and his team to paint the interior of all the rooms. I could not be happier with the results. Pedro runs a very professional crew—skilled, efficient, and detail-oriented. They completed the entire job in just 4 days, and the quality of the work is outstanding. What impressed me most was the care they took in protecting my furniture, floors, and ceilings. Everything was covered and secured so well that there was no mess at all, just beautifully painted walls. Pedro’s team worked seamlessly together, and their professionalism really showed throughout the project. If you’re looking for top-quality painting done quickly and with great attention to detail, I highly recommend Pedro and Custom Brush Painting."
