Q: Can one person hang drywall?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to hang drywall by yourself, but it can be challenging (and more expensive). Without an extra set of hands, you&rsquo;ll need to invest in a drywall lift to position the heavy drywall sheets on the wall. You can buy one of these <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-tools-are-needed-drywall-repair.htm">drywall tools</a> for a few hundred dollars at your nearest home improvement store.</p></div>

Q: Is a drywall ceiling or drop ceiling more affordable?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">Installing drywall will cost</a> between <b>$1.50 and $3 per square foot</b> for materials, labor, and finishing, which is quite a bit lower than the average of <b>$9 to $13 per square foot</b> for a drop-tile ceiling. So, while drop ceilings allow more design flexibility, provide easy access to utility lines above them, and are often much easier and less expensive to repair, they do cost more upfront. You can minimize your drop ceiling cost by opting for more affordable fiberboard panels, although some homeowners don&rsquo;t like the look of this material.</p></div>

Q: Is drywall safe to cut?

• <div><p>Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.</p></div>

Q: Do I need drywall corners?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a pretty good idea to have drywall corners, also called drywall beading. Drywall is a pretty brittle material and corners tend to be rubbed up against it often. Rather quickly, the edges will start crumbling and you&rsquo;ll need to replace the entire panel, or add beads on top and repaint the wall. Drywall beads&mdash;which are inexpensive&mdash;provide long-term support for the drywall and protect your investment.</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>
