Premier Interior/Exterior Painting and Popcorn Ceiling Removal Company for Oakmont Estates HOA Residents

Wallboard (drywall sheathing) is tongue and groove used under exterior claddings, including masonry, to protect from wind and water.

They will sag if ceilings are covered with wallboard sheathing or water-resistant drywall. To waterproof ceilings, use standard drywall.

We start by measuring and cutting the drywall. We use type W screws for fastening to wooden studs. Types G and S are for attaching one sheet to metal. Joint compound (mud) and tape (paper or fiber mesh) seal the joints. We cover the corners with a drywall “bead” or a metal corner.

We apply the compound using a drywall knife (a broad, smooth spreader knife) and a T-square.

For an estimate of quantities, multiply the area to cover by the number of square feet per sheet (e.g., 32 for a sheet 4X8. Two hundred square feet of drywall can be fastened using one or half a pound. Consider having Wellington Pro Painters & Popcorn Removal help with heavy sheets, especially when hanging a ceiling.

Before we can start your project, there are some basics you should know about drywalling. These tips will help you make your next drywall project easy and profitable.

Complete Preparation

Inspect your space before you begin a project. This will ensure that it conforms to local building codes. It is also vital to accurately measure your space. This will help ensure you get the right amount.

Wear a Mask and Goggles

Drywall dust can cause severe irritation to the eyes, lungs, and eyes. Our experts wear masks and safety glasses to help protect them from potential health problems. Also, we make sure that the air they breathe is well-ventilated.

A steady temperature is essential.

Surprisingly, even the climate in your home can impact your drywalling job. Humidity and temperature can have an impact on joint treatment. We ensure that the area where we will be working is at least 55 degrees for two days before beginning the project.

The Right Tools

An essential utility knife is necessary to cut the drywall. We use a T-square to make square cuts. A T-square is required if we have to mow around obstacles within a room. We use a keyhole to cut around minor obstacles such as electrical boxes. We need a drywall screw gun to secure the nails and screws. We then smoothen joints by using different sizes of tape knives.

Your Fasteners

We can purchase nails and screws explicitly made for drywall at the local hardware store. Ring shank nails are the best choice. This will help hold the drywall in position and prevent nails from coming out later. You will also find different sizes of drywall screws depending upon the thickness of your wall.
