"Our basement had concrete floors, bare ceiling beams, walls with some insulation covered with plastic, and a few spindly columns.  It also contained the furnace, water heater, and so forth.   Opposite there was a sliding patio door.  VAP contracting worked with us to develop the concept of the space; we did not use an architect.  They also were familiar with building code, and worked successfully with our local inspector and the inspection process from start to finish.  As the project began, further insulation was added, then drywall.  The drywall made a separate "back" room for the furnace area, which was left unfinished, but with a finished door large enough to accommodate installation of a new oil storage tank or anything else that might need doing in the future.  VAP had the idea of making a hallway in one area giving access to a tiny sauna which the previous owner had built in the otherwise unfinished basement.  The partial hallway added to the architectural interest of the space, again making it less like a casually finished basement.  The ceiling was installed with a substantial number of down lights on a rheostat, and two electric heating elements were installed along the floor on opposite sides of the room.  The spindly columns were faced with drywall and trim at the bottom, matching the trim around the base of the floors finished with Pergola composite flooring.  Access to the basement was with wood steps in good condition, and we continued the look of that wood with flooring of similar wood appearance.  For whatever reason, the unfinished basement had concrete ledges around most of the room, and once the drywall was installed we placed wood to run along the top of those ledges that matched the stairs and flooring.  The color scheme echoed the upstairs, basically off-white with a few accent areas.  The staircase was repainted the same off-white.  And so now, when walking down the stairway, it becomes a kind of entrance to the finished room.  I used to joke that contractors had their own clocks and schedules in a parallel universe separate and apart from mine. Not the case with VAP.  When we worked out a schedule, they stuck to it in every phase.  Further, the quality of the work was perfect--which gives a great sense of joy when using the room. The overall budget was less than we originally anticipated, and so the price was fair--and, no cost overruns.   For the electrical work, I mentioned to VAP that I had been using an electrician for some years.  VAP said they could do the electrical work or could work with our electrician.  They did work with our electrician, very cooperatively.  Finally, I should note that I had used VAP for some previous, less complex projects, such as exterior house painting and wood floor refinishing.  Because that work was executed so well, on time, and within budget, we wanted to use them for the more complex basement project.  We are glad that we did!

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.
