Why Painting And Drywall Is A Well Sought Out Specialty

By Tracie Knight


Since most walls, in homes and commercial facilities, are made from drywall and need painting, professionals in this area are in great demand year round. Walls, ceilings and other architectural elements are made from this material and, as it is easy to work with, it is easy on the pocket book as well. The professional painting and drywall specialists, who do this every day in Waelder TX are a good resource for this and must be called upon in time to get their attention to your project.

One of the purposes of drywall is to hide all of the components of a properly operating structure. Between the joists there are plumbing and electrical services running. The security lines for most commercial buildings and some homes, run through this space as well. All of this does not look good and that is why it is hidden behind the wall.

What happens when the drywall is ready to be installed is quite simple yet must be done carefully. The struts that hold the wall up have been installed on 16 or 24 inch centers. This is the measurement from the center of one to the center of the next one. There are various holes drilled in each of these struts to run electrical and plumbing services.

By inserting the rolls of insulation between the joists and stapling them in, it clears the way for the wallboard. Before this material can be placed onto the studs, however, proper measurements will have to be made. The span between each pieces of drywall should be very narrow and most professionals leave only about an eighth of an inch. If it is cut too short, additional work or more pieces may have to be employed.

Another possibility that must be considered, if it is too short, can only be attempted by someone who has a lot of experience with this installation. A product, known as joint compound, and drywall tape will have to be used to fill in the remaining space. This is not something to be attempted unless you have the skill and attention to detail to make it as solid as it needs to be. It might also look bad after it dries.

Since the joint compound is used for every installation of wall board, covering it with paneling, wall paper or even paint is a necessity. Professional installers will offer special deals when they install and paint. They will be able to show you a large number of samples colors, hues and tones as well as different treatments they have had success with. They will also be able to texture the surface prior to painting.

Texture is applied to the wall through the use of a special gun that takes the joint compound, mixed with a little water. This can be shot at the wall or ceiling and makes little raised patterns on that surface. It can be a uniform pattern or one that is as complex as you would like it to be. Painting this surface, by using a spray gun, is as easy as painting a flat, untextured surface.

Since these professionals are very busy it would be appropriate to contact them early in the planning stage of any project. Waelder TX has a number of these technicians ready to come and provide a free quote. They will answer questions for you and have all of the personnel needed to complete even complicated projects quickly. Make them one of the first people you call when construction is needed.
