Our Typical installation process
Drywall framing is a specialized construction technique used to prepare a wall for installing drywall, or gypsum board. Because drywall sheets are manufactured to a universal size, all framing on which these boards, or sheets, will be installed must comply with specific dimensions. Otherwise, drywall sheets will all need to be custom cut to fit wall and ceiling studs, at additional cost in labor and material. To achieve framing at the most reasonable cost of material and labor
Step 1- Vertical Wall Studs
Install wall studs according to conventional standards: 16" from stud center to stud center. Plates for wall top and bottom, door and window double posts are also installed. Studs are centered 16" from the bottom plate's outside edge to ensure proper coverage and stability.
Step 2 Framing Corners
Vertical corners includes two vertical framing members with the second 2" x 4" resting on the bottom plate, as all frame studs do. Studs are installed with the flat side facing backwards. Often inexperienced workers who prefer having a wider surface into which to drive their drywall screws or nails install the flat side facing forwards. Each stud is fastened into place by toenailing the nails at the bottom and top.
Step 3 Bathrooms and Kitchens
Where water resistant drywall is used around sinks and toilets, we add extra 2"x 4" studs where seams are created horizontally between drywall sheets. Blocking of this type is be done at precisely 4' above the top of the fixture level, where the blocking center should be placed. If necessary, we use No. 12 nails. Where tiles will be attached above drywall, additional blocking is added as needed. Where horizontal drywall seams exist, drywall is blocked so that each stud center falls on the 4' mark
Step 4 24" Stud Blocking
For vertical studs spaced at 24 inches, rather than the standard 16", we add horizontal blocking to provide a secure surface into which we can sink our drywall screws. In rooms that are higher than the standard 8 feet, we add a second horizontal block, 8' and ". The extra " is to allow for the thickness of the drywall sheet.
Step 5 First Drywall Sheets Attached
We then begin attaching the drywall sheets, starting with the ceiling sheets first. By doing this, all the vertical sheets will be butted up against the ceiling sheets, whose edges will more likely be more even taping of room corners.
Step 5 Finishing and Painting
The final step we smooth out all the seams and edges, making sure each one is perfectly blended with the next so there are no unsightly gaps or cracks. Last we paint the walls to your specifications or if repairing we perfectly match the original color so there are no discolored spots.
