Sheetrock is a brand name that’s owned by the United States Gypsum company, and it’s now used as a generic term to refer to wallboards, drywall, plasterboard, and even ‘rock.’ Over the years, gypsum panels have replaced plaster for walls and ceilings.
Mudding and taping drywall or sheetrock are a necessary steps in repairing walls or ceilings. This process is also known as drywall finishing.
Taping drywall is a frustrating experience, with the potential of flaws showing up on the drywall months after you've finished the task. You’ll notice corner-bead cracks, nail pops, and bad joints ruining your walls. To make your next taping job less stressful, we offer our expert services. Armed with the proper tools and materials, we make sure to use a step-by-step approach to finish the task.
Hanging drywall takes a bit of muscle, but the next step — getting your drywall ready for painting or for new wallpaper — is where we shine best. This part requires the application of some premixed joint compound (mud) and drywall tape with the help of tools such as drywall knives and swivel-head pole sanders.
It gets really tricky when you’re trying to figure out the best way to tape and carefully feather out the mud. Since the joint compound is soft, you’ll have to know the right amount to remove. Removing too much heightens the risk of tearing or fraying the tape. It takes a practiced, light hand to get that perfectly smooth edge you’re looking for. Our sanding service allows you to effortlessly enjoy walls and ceilings with a smooth finish.
