Rebuild, Drywall & Paint Services

Since no two drywall installation projects are the same, it’s tough to say exactly how long the process will take. Installing drywall involves mudding the wall seams, taping the joints, sanding, and addressing any specific concerns along the way.

With this said, a professional team can usually install 4 to 5 sheets of drywall board per hour, provided temperature and humidity conditions are ideal. This means that a typical drywall installation project can take anywhere from one day to a week or more, depending on its size.

Drywall is so common in homes and businesses in large part because of how durable it is. Properly installed drywall should last over 30 years as long as it’s taken care of properly.

Drywall can be properly hung both vertically or horizontally. It just depends on the type of building, associated fire codes, and what will be most efficient for a particular space.

Generally, commercial buildings like offices have drywall hung vertically in order to comply with fire codes that require the seams to fall in a particular way.

Residential buildings often have drywall hung horizontally to create fewer seams and hide uneven studs, though particularly tall ceilings might warrant installing the drywall vertically even in a home setting.

When evaluating the cost of a home building or remodeling project, it’s easy to say you’ll handle all the painting yourself to avoid the added expense. For some people who enjoy the work, this is a great solution — but other times it leads to nothing but stress.

Here are a few ways a professional painter can finish your space without any extra hassle:

• Quality. An experienced painter is an expert at everything that goes into the process, including sanding, priming, and more. This means that the work they’ll produce will be of the utmost quality.
• Efficiency. Because of their experience and training, a professional painter can finish a room much more quickly than a novice homeowner, sometimes nearly three times as fast. This means you can move back into your space even sooner.
• Industry standard equipment. Professional-grade equipment can make a huge difference in how easily and quickly a room can be finished.
• Insurance. Professional painters will have insurance in case anything goes wrong with the job.

In general, it’s a good idea to clean your walls before attempting to repaint them. You’ll also need to make sure the surfaces are sanded smooth and primed so that the coats of paint can be applied properly.
