Whenever you need commercial services for remodeling or repair, you will want to use the best Utah Drywall Contractors you can find. Drywall may also be called gypsum board, gyprock, plasterboard, sheetrock, or wallboard. The board is actually a flat panel of gypsum plaster that is squeezed between two thick paper sheets. It makes ceilings and interior walls in construction. Lath and plaster was the traditional method used for walls until the late 1950s. Drywall became the preferred alternative because it was much faster. However, lath and plaster may still be used for unusual shapes such as a rounded wall since drywall is not flexible enough for this.
Compared to lath and plaster methods which may take a whole week for an entire house, the Utah Drywall Contractors can apply drywall to a whole house in just one or two days. The drywall hangers or mechanics install the wallboard while the float crew or mud men finish the joints and hide the nail heads with special drywall compound. This procedure is typical of large commercial construction projects, while a modified version is used for residential construction.
The drywall contractor will make sure that the panels are cut to the proper size with a T-square and a utility knife. Other features such as holes for light switches and outlets are cut with a keyhole saw or a high speed rotary tool. These cuts require precision and accuracy or else you will have a crooked wall full of holes leading to nowhere. Nails and glue may be used to attach the drywall panels to the wall structure, but today it is more common to use drywall screws for attachment.
A Drywall Contractor can take care of many of your construction needs. If you need to finish an attic or a basement, a good contractor can make sure you have a good smooth surface that can be easily painted or wallpapered. Drywall is easy to fix because any holes can be filled and then painted over so that it looks as good as new. The contractor may also paint the drywall for you so that you will not have to hire a painting company to finish the project. They may also install flooring, lighting, concrete work, windows, and siding. Before hiring a contractor, make sure he has up to date insurance and a current contractor’s license from your state.
