The Hazards Of Hiring Inexperienced Drywall Contractors

There are countless structural and aesthetic problems that can occur when you hire inexperienced drywall contractors. Making sure that drywall is properly installed is an absolutely essential part of the building process. Not only is an inexperienced drywall company likely to lack the right tools, equipment and skills for creating smooth, seamless and durable results, but many of these entities are also lacking proper insurance, strong relationships with reputable suppliers and good, overall work ethics. Following are several issues that the wrong drywall service can cause when working on your building.

Lack Of Proper Edge Support

One of the most common mistakes that an inexperienced drywall repair service can make is installing drywall at inside corners where there's insufficient framing. There should always be at least one full inch of framing exposed at each corner. If not, this will leave insufficient space for inserting stable nails and will invariably lead to ripping, sagging and other problems as time wears on. The best professionals will add an additional 2x4 alongside the current framing when necessary. This will ensure that the drywall is stable and guaranteed to remain fixed in position over time. This is a problem that can also occur at the tops of walls traveling parallel to the ceiling. If blocking hasn't been nailed to the top wall plate, it will need to be added for greater stability.

A Failure To Mark The Locations Of All Framing Members

No matter how fast you want the job done, you never want your drywall company to install drywall before it has carefully marked the locations of all framing members. This will make it impossible to accurately position the screws. It can also lead to wasted project materials. An experienced drywall repair company will always take the time to mark the locations of floor studs and ceiling joists before getting started. This seemingly minor step can have a major impact on project outcomes.
