Once you have made the call, your handyman will arrive in their marked company van and uniform to your scheduled appointment and inspect the area that needs service. Inspection is an important part of our job because it allows us to check for any underlying issues that may be difficult to detect. Therefore, being there in person helps us to better evaluate the overall job and communicate with you any issues that you want to be eliminated. Or perhaps we detect something that needs to be addressed right away before we start on the initial requested job.
Choose Your Drywall
There are different-sized sheets of drywall available for your home’s interior. Standard sheets are often referred to as whiteboards and are commonly used for ceilings and walls. Plasterboards and cement boards have a waxed surface to resist moisture; therefore, they are best used as backer boards in bathrooms. The best thickness to use is 1/2 inch for walls and 5/8 inch for ceilings.
Area Preparation
Before the initial installation, there are a few preparatory tasks your expert Flower Mound handyman needs to complete. Sometimes, demolition is required if you seek to replace the old panel. That’s an additional step that requires a few hours to complete and includes waste removal and cleaning.
Otherwise, if we’re only dealing with an empty space, we have to watch for any electrical, plumbing, and insulation systems before we install a new sheet of drywall. If we install an interior wall that is in close contact with your siding, it’s important that we check the wall cavities to ensure you have efficient insulation. It may be necessary to do a drill and fill where our service technicians will drill holes to access the cavities and blow in a new layer of loose-fill cellulose insulation.
Drywall Installation
Flower Mound, TX service professionals at Mr. Handyman will have their tools and materials ready for the installation. They will also plan ahead which drywall panels need to be cut to appropriately fit windows, doors, and outlets. So you may see us snap drywall sheets accordingly to fit a specific space. The cutting and sanding process is only the beginning!
Ceiling Installation:
Since thicker material is recommended for ceilings, our handyman team usually brings a drywall lift to put the pieces of drywall in place. The next steps involve taking the sheets to the ceiling joists.
Hanging Drywall:
During the wall installation process, it’s important to push the wall sheets tightly against the ceiling installation and then fasten them with drywall nails.
Before you get concerned about the sturdiness of nails, they’re merely the first step of fastening panels to the joists. Next, we use a drywall screw gun to properly fasten them. The screws typically go beneath the paper surface but not into the gypsum core. Every screw should sit neatly in place without protruding.
Finishing Process
After drywall installation, Flower Mound, TX property owners may choose how they’d like us to finish it. The hardest part is done, but what about the joint areas that show the different size panels? They need to go.
The finishing process involves applying a joint compound to hide screw heads and joint areas. Any excess compound will be scraped off so that we can apply strips of paper tape on the fresh coat of compound. As we smoothen out the tape, we will apply a layer of compound over the tape. The same process occurs on the inside corner. For that, we usually use fiberglass tape to ensure the corners are sharp and smooth.
Then we allow the compound to dry for a while before we sand and apply a fill coat. That also needs to dry and be lightly sanded before the final finish coat.
