The drywall experts at Princeton Damage Restoration are here to help
Drywall is an important part of any damage and disaster remediation projects. The proper installation of drywall is critical for both the look and the safety of the completed project. After the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work has been completed, the project is at the stage for your drywall contractor to construct the framing, install the insulation, and properly construct and place the drywall.
Choosing the best materials for the job
When choosing a drywall contractor to repair your damaged home or business, you want to choose one who knows the best materials for your particular situation.
Insulation
Insulation serves to control both sound and temperature. There are many choices when it comes to insulation. Along with the traditional fiberglass, newer materials have been developed that are both environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient. They will include a high percentage of recycled or natural materials and little to no harmful substances. When choosing “green” insulation, the critical consideration, as it can significantly affect the work’s overall cost, is the R-value. The R-value measures the insulation’s resistance to heat flow. Choosing insulation with a higher R-Value is an investment in long-term energy savings as a high R-value insulation keeps warm air in during cold weather and the hot air out in hot weather.
Drywall
Traditional drywall is still the most commonly used material to cover walls. Yet, many other types of drywall could be used to serve a particular situation best. For instance, there are various levels of moisture resistance. Much like insulation, which we talked about above, there are drywalls made of natural and recycled materials, and there are ones that provide additional levels of fire or/and sound-proofing. Much of these choices will also depend on your design objectives as well as your budget. The good news is there are a variety of materials to fit your needs. And Princeton Damage Restoration will help you make the right choices.
The Installation
Measuring, cutting, and placing the drywall sheets is the most physically strenuous part of any drywall project. It is critical that drywall must cut the correct size pieces to fit the openings for electrical outlets and light switches. Finishing is the final piece to ensure the joints and that the edges are smoothed over and ready for paint or wallpaper. This is a time-intensive, multi-step process covering joints and screw heads with special joint compound and tape, sanding, and repeating the process as needed.
Choosing the right company
It can not be stressed enough how critical it is to have a good, smooth, and secure installation of drywall to the final look and safety of your project. Even small imperfections can have a lasting effect on the results. This is why you need professionals with years of experience who have decades of experience with the art and science of drywall installation. Princeton Damage Restoration is just such a company.
