Before you book drywall hang & finish for new rooms & additions
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Confirm inspections are signed off
Before the crew hangs a single board, check that framing, wiring, plumbing and insulation have passed any required inspection. Closing walls too early can mean cutting them open again.
Decide the finish level and texture first
Tell your pro how the wall will be painted and whether it needs to match existing texture. A smooth skimmed wall takes more labor than a textured one, and choosing late can mean redoing coats.
Photograph the framing and room
Photos of the framing, ceiling height and any windows, soffits or curves help pros see what they are quoting, including odd angles that slow the work.
Clear the room and plan the access path
Remove tools, lumber and stored items from the room. Boards are long and heavy, so clear a path to the work area and note any stairs, narrow halls or tight turns.
Keep the space heated and ventilated
Make sure the room has power for lights and sanders, and temperatures that stay in a comfortable range. Fresh compound struggles in a freezing or damp space.
Plan the schedule around drying
Finishing takes several visits with drying time in between. Ask your pro for the day-by-day plan so the painter and flooring crew are not booked too early.
Say where in Millbrae you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Millbrae Highlands, The Meadows, and Green Hills, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
