How Walls Get Built or Brought Back

Your drywall installer begins by checking framing for plumb and adding blocking where needed to support edges and seams. In Gainesville homes, older framing sometimes requires adjustment before new drywall can be hung. Sheets are cut to fit the space, fastened with screws, and staggered to reduce the chance of cracks forming later.

Once the seams are taped and coated, you will notice walls that feel solid when you press on them and surfaces that look flat under angled light. Corners meet cleanly, and there are no ridges or dips running along joints.

The crew applies multiple coats of joint compound, sanding between layers to feather edges and remove high spots. Dust control measures are used during sanding, and debris is removed daily. Done W Right Painting & Renovation coordinates drywall work with other trades when the project involves plumbing, electrical, or HVAC changes.

Homeowners planning drywall work often have questions about timing, dust, and how repairs blend in with existing walls. Here are answers to the most common concerns.

Common Concerns Before You Start

What is the difference between drywall repair and replacement?
Repair involves patching holes or cracks and blending the fix into the surrounding wall. Replacement means removing damaged sections and installing new drywall, which is needed when water damage or structural issues affect large areas.
How long does it take to finish drywall?
Hanging drywall usually takes one day per room, and finishing requires two to three coats with drying time between each. Most projects are ready for paint within a week of starting.
Why do drywall seams sometimes crack after installation?
Cracks often form when framing shifts, fasteners are spaced too far apart, or joint compound is applied too thickly. Your installer will use proper fastening patterns and feather seams to reduce the chance of cracking in Gainesville homes.
What happens to walls that have texture?
If your existing walls have texture, your installer can match it after repairs are finished. This usually involves spraying or hand-applying texture material and blending it into the surrounding area before painting.
How much dust does drywall sanding create?
Sanding produces fine dust that spreads easily, so Done W Right Painting & Renovation uses dust barriers and vacuums with filters to keep it contained. Floors and furniture are covered, and work areas are cleaned daily during the project.
