Drywall Hanging

The method of drywall hanging consists of two-by-fours placed across the front of the opening. The second row of four will be across the rear of the opening. The third row, or third panel, will be placed inside the first and the fourth across the opening. A piece of board may need to be positioned inside the opening if it is constructed from two-by-six boards. In some cases, drywall panels may need to overlap slightly. This process is usually completed in one day.

When installing drywall hanging in Kent, Washington, it is important to make sure that the ceiling is properly supported. In many cases, the ceiling will need to be lowered several inches to achieve a comfortable install. The reason is that the drywall paper is applied at an angle to the ceiling and it will be installed at an angle as well. If the ceiling is not properly supported, there are a number of problems that may arise during the installation, such as the ceiling becoming misaligned, moisture getting into the walls and the frame getting hung up or warped.
