Drywall is one of the most common building materials for residential buildings. In fact, the United States sold 25 billion square feet of drywall in 2017 alone. To make drywall, calcium sulfate dihydrate, a mineral found in many parts of the world, is ground and mixed with additives before it's extruded through thick sheets of paper to form planks. This durable material is easy to install and can be repaired quickly compared to plaster, the building material it has largely replaced.
Although drywall is a strong building material, it can be cracked or gouged. If it becomes wet, it is prone to mold and mildew. When damage occurs, residential drywall services provide a range of residential support, including drywall installation and repair, residential interior painting and residential exterior painting, as well as obtaining permits for big projects.
While installing drywall is not complicated, it does require sound knowledge, skill, and time, which is why hiring professional drywall services can save time and money. Builders experienced in residential drywall are great because of the following reasons:
Why sound installation is essential
Sheets of drywall are affixed to studs using anchors and screws. After installation, the seams between pieces must be sealed with tape and coated with mud or a joint compound. This makes the wall look like one smooth piece rather than multiple pieces joined together. Completing this step correctly will give the best final appearance, but it requires the precision and care that residential drywall services provide.
Drywall that has sustained minor damage can usually be patched, but drywall that has sustained more widespread or severe damage, or which has become wet, must be removed and replaced. This is done by detaching the damaged drywall from the studs and installing a new piece. Whether the damage done to drywall is minor or major, a room with damaged drywall often requires repainting so that all of the walls match. Drywall services are experienced with residential interior painting and can complete such jobs quickly.
Drywall planks get their rough texture from the fine mineral particles they are made of and must be thoroughly prepared before they can be painted. The time-consuming finishing process includes patching small nicks and holes with mud and then sanding until the entire wall is smooth and even. Walls must then be carefully dusted, and some professional drywall services will even vacuum them to create the best surface for paint. Next, walls must be carefully washed and allowed to fully dry before a drywall primer is applied. Drywall tends to absorb primer, so this step often takes multiple coats. Once the primer dries, drywall services may do more light sanding and dusting to ensure the smoothest finish.
At this point, the drywall can finally be painted. While many types of paint can be used on drywall, some paints may be better depending on what the room is used for. More durable paints are often chosen for kitchens or children's room, while cheaper, less durable paints may be used in other spaces. Many drywall services providing residential interior painting services can offer advice regarding the best paint for a project. Some drywall services also accept residential exterior painting jobs.
Drywall projects that alter the structure of a home, such as adding a room, require building permits. Professional drywall services will handle the paperwork involved in a remodeling project. They know from experience how soon to submit paperwork so that it will be processed by the time construction begins and what permits to apply for. This alone makes residential drywall services worthwhile for many homeowners.
While some homeowners choose to install and paint drywall themselves, such work is time-consuming and requires skill and know-how. In contrast, residential drywall services offered by professionals can speed up the process and ensure the quality of the work on important home projects.

Flores Drywall & Painting actually installed all the drywall in my new little house and then Sealed and Painted the exposed wood ceilings and primed all the walls. They did a beautiful job and were so kind and careful with my property. They even worked with my weird busy schedule and still got things done in a very timely manor! I can happily recommend them - and I will use them again.

Some of the best texture matching and wall/ceiling repair I've seen. I had them patch up some walls after a whole house plumbing re-pipe made some drywall repair necessary. They did a great job and I had them come back a couple years later to do a large ceiling repair job and a whole lot of painting. They did amazing work! Very much appreciated. Very professional and courteous as well.
Happy Client
Mario and his team did an excellent job painting the entire interior of our house and actually finished ahead of schedule! My only complaint would be that the two times we were scheduled to meet in person (once to start and once for final review) they were late an hour each time. I would give 4.5 stars if I could, but they really did a fantastic job.
Happy Client
