The thought of installing drywall in their home can induce
feelings of trepidation, anxieties and images of certain disaster for many
homeowners, but the truth is it is within most homeowners’ ability to not only
install drywall, but do an excellent job as well. Again, as is the case in most
home improvement undertakings; the key to success is having the right
information to guide you through it and having the desire and impetus to do the
job correctly. That's all. Successful drywall installation can be attained even
if you're novice, just put your best foot forward and commit to doing a quality
job and you will be successful.
I have installed drywall both commercially and within the
residential sector for years now and I will be glad to share with you the best
of my experience and knowledge that I have attained over the years. So take a
deep breath and let's begin the journey.
Introduction
Call it drywall, gypsum board, drywall panels or sheetrock
(actually a brand name), it's just different names for the same thing. For over
six decades drywall has become the overwhelming choice of architects, builders,
contractors and even homeowners as the material of choice when it comes to
their interior walls and ceilings. Over 90% of all homes and buildings built in
the last forty years have their interior walls and ceilings covered with
drywall and that number continues to increase each and every day. Major gypsum
manufacturing companies in the United States and Canada have a back order for
drywall and as research and development departments continue to discover and
implement new and better products, the demand for drywall seems to increase by leaps
and bounds.
However, with the demand for such a great product continuing
to increase, there is a down side that can leave some bewildered. Although
drywall became a welcome alternative to plastered walls and ceilings,
unfortunately many homeowners quickly came to the realization that drywall is
susceptible to cracking, dents, crevices, and even large holes. And it became
apparent that hiring a contractor to come in and repair these unsightly walls
and ceilings could prove to be quite expensive to say the least. So many
homeowners begin to do their own version of repairs and installations, but for
the most part the end results were troubling.
But now, here is an opportunity for me to share with you
some of what I have learned over the years about installing Residential drywall services in Surrey.
Most of my experience has been in the residential sector, but I have done quite
a bit of commercial installation as well. I hope this guide will prove to be
both beneficial and inspiring, and remember there is a wealth of information
out there that is available to assist you in your installation project. Just
use good common sense and take your time and never, never feel foolish about
asking questions! So, all aboard?
Preparation
For clarification, this article is written to help instruct
and assist homeowners in the installation of drywall in their home. Commercial
application is not taken into context in this forum. My intentions are to help
homeowners who are able and willing to install drywall on their walls and
ceilings. And in another venue we will be instructing homeowners how to tape
and finish drywall, as well as repair and texture it. But for now this article
will focus on the installation aspect on. Learn More about ‘Renovations in Surrey’ at:
