How Our Process Works

You'll start with a measurement and layout review where room dimensions, framing condition, and your project goals are discussed. In Salem, older homes may have framing that needs shimming or adjustments before drywall can be installed properly. This step ensures panels fit correctly and seams align for smooth finishing.

MH & E Excavating handles framing alignment, panel cutting and hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding. Each seam is taped with paper or mesh tape, then covered with joint compound and sanded smooth. Corners are reinforced with bead, and all surfaces are checked for level and consistency before priming or painting begins.

Structural accuracy, fast installation, and clean workspaces define the process from start to finish. Whether you're drywalling a single room or an entire addition, the focus is on quality finishes that hold up over time.

Details That Matter Most

Homeowners throughout Salem often have questions about framing, seam finishing, and how long drywall takes to complete. These answers help clarify what happens during your installation.

How long does drywall installation take?
Most rooms are finished in one to three days depending on size and complexity. Additional time is needed for taping, mudding, and sanding to dry between coats.
Do you handle framing issues before hanging drywall?
Yes, uneven or damaged framing is adjusted or reinforced before panels are installed. Proper alignment ensures seams stay tight and walls remain flat.
What thickness of drywall do you use?
Half-inch drywall is standard for walls, and five-eighths-inch is used for ceilings or when additional soundproofing is needed. Moisture-resistant drywall is used in bathrooms and basements.
How do you finish seams so they don't show?
Seams are taped, then covered with multiple coats of joint compound. Each coat is sanded smooth and feathered to blend with the surrounding surface.
Can you match existing textures if we're adding a room?
Yes, texture matching is available for knock-down, orange peel, or smooth finishes. Samples are tested to ensure consistency with the rest of your home.

Whether you're finishing a basement, adding a room, or remodeling an older space, quality drywall installation sets the stage for everything that follows. Smooth seams, accurate alignment, and clean finishes ensure your walls look great and last. Reach out now to book a measurement and layout review and get your project started.
