Practical advice on drywall repair, installation, finishing and more, from the Build Once Drywall team.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a drywall repair invisible?
That is the goal. We blend each patch into the surrounding wall, including the texture, so it disappears once painted.
Can water-damaged drywall be saved?
Small, dry stains can sometimes be treated. Board that is soft, swollen or has been wet for a long time usually has to be replaced.
Can you remove popcorn ceilings?
Yes. We remove popcorn texture and finish the ceiling smooth or re-texture it. In older homes, the texture can need testing before removal, and we will tell you what applies to your ceiling.
How long does drywall installation take?
Most jobs take 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of the space and the finish level. Drying time between coats is built into the schedule, and your written quote gives you a clear timeline.
Do I need a permit to finish a basement?
Cosmetic drywall work usually does not need one. Fire-rated assemblies, basement suites and structural changes often do. We will tell you what applies to your project.
