Drywall Hanging
What is Drywall?
As an alternative to a week-long plaster application, an entire house can be drywalled in one or two days by two experienced drywallers. In large-scale commercial construction, the work of installing and finishing drywall is often split between drywall hangers, who install the wallboard, and tapers (also known as finishers) who finish the joints and cover the fastener heads with drywall compound. Drywall can be finished anywhere from a level 0 to a level 5, where 0 is not finished in any fashion, and five is the most pristine and smooth. Depending on how significant the finish is to the customer, the extra steps in the finish may or may not be necessary, priming and painting of drywall are recommended in any location where it may be exposed to any wear.
