For all its rigidity, drywall is an amazingly versatile building product that can be cut and added to fit just about any flat surface of any interior room feature; from large sheets that cover walls and ceilings to smaller cut pieces that form soffits above cabinetry, modern construction projects would take much, much longer if not for wallboard.
Like many large, newer homes in its price range, one Patch2Paint customer’s home in Franklin Lakes had a very sizable basement with high ceilings and lots of potential for all kinds of room designs. The family had only recently moved in and had a list of potential rooms they wanted to create from this vast open space, including a playroom for their young children, a home office, an exercise room, a bathroom, separate laundry room, and with the space left over, a common area where they wanted to create a modest home theater for the kids and adults in the house.
Working with a designer, the family laid out the plan dividing the space up into rooms with some receiving doors and others without so the children could always be heard. Once the framing, electrical and rough plumbing were already in place, Patch2Paint went to work verifying measurements and adding sheets of drywall to the framing, making cuts where necessary to accommodate plumbing, electrical boxes and lighting.
Wallboard Compound: Filling and taping joints as we move along.
Working as a team, the Patch2Paint wallboard crew ably moved from room to room, mounting the sheetrock to the framing and filling seams and screw holes with joint compound before taping. After allowing the compound to set overnight, and lightly sanding any uneven seams, etc. we then added a topcoat of compound to create a super smooth surface that was ready to be primed after light sanding.
No job is complete until painting.
