What to Expect
Our Drywall Process
Our drywall process begins with careful measurement and planning. We select the right type and thickness of drywall for each application, whether it is standard drywall for living areas, moisture-resistant board for bathrooms, or fire-rated panels where building codes require them.
Hanging is done with precision to minimize seams and ensure tight fits around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. Our finishing crew applies multiple coats of joint compound, carefully sanding between each coat to achieve a smooth, seamless surface. We offer finish levels ranging from a basic Level 3 for garages and utility areas up to a Level 5 smooth finish for high-visibility walls.
For repair work, we match the existing wall texture so the repaired area blends in seamlessly. Homes in the Kalamazoo area sometimes develop drywall cracks due to seasonal temperature and humidity changes, and we address both the visible damage and its underlying cause.
FAQ
Common Drywall Questions
How long does a drywall installation take?
A typical room can be hung in a day, but the finishing process takes longer because each coat of joint compound needs to dry before the next is applied. For a complete room, expect the full process of hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding to take 4 to 7 days.
Can you repair water-damaged drywall?
Yes, we repair water-damaged drywall regularly. The key is to first resolve the source of the water intrusion before replacing the affected drywall. We cut out damaged sections, check for mold, and install new drywall that is finished to match the surrounding surface.
What is the difference between drywall finish levels?
Drywall finish levels range from Level 0 (no finishing) to Level 5 (skim-coated for a perfectly smooth surface). Most residential projects in the Kalamazoo area use Level 4, which includes taping, two coats of compound, and sanding. Level 5 is recommended for areas with glossy paint or critical lighting conditions.
