Drywall and plaster
What each drywall and plaster service involves, from hanging new board to repairing old plaster, and what to expect from a certified company.
Drywall and plaster are the surfaces every other finish sits on. The pages below describe each service: what it is, how the installer approaches it, and what separates a wall that looks flat under paint from one that shows every seam.
After a water loss, drywall is usually the first thing cut out and the first thing rebuilt. A certified company matches the thickness and texture of what was removed, finishes the seams so the repair disappears, and leaves the wall ready for the painter.
