"We recently had LH Construction install crown molding and detail molding throughout the downstairs walls of our home, and the results exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship was outstanding — every corner and transition is clean and precise, and the molding has completely transformed the look of our space. What stood out most was the crew's professionalism. They worked efficiently without ever feeling rushed, and they were incredibly respectful of our daily routine throughout the project — coordinating around our schedule and keeping disruption to a minimum. It's rare to find a team that combines high-quality work with that level of consideration for the homeowners. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend LH Construction to anyone looking for detailed trim or molding work. Five stars!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.

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’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.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

Regular inspections, repainting, and avoiding moisture exposure help maintain integrity.
