Drywall is the most visible and important interior finish of a house, making it of utmost importance to work with the best drywall company that you can find. Drywalling is the process of installing individual panels to the walls and ceilings and then taping, adding multiple layers of mud, and smooth sanding them to ensure all the boards blend and look like a single wall – without any visible individual panels. When hiring a drywall contractor always look for the following;
How many years of experience does the contractor have under their belt? Typically, an experienced drywall contractor of custom homes has at least 10 years of solid experience. It is important to also ask the contractor how long their lead crew and other crew members are working for the company. This will give you information on their backend system - how well trained their teams are and well they work together.
It is crucial to hire a drywall contractor that has the particular experience to fulfill your needs. A custom house needs a contractor that has extensive experience in doing custom homes, not just basements. The same idea goes for commercial jobs such as plazas or factories; you should not hire a contractor with experience in the residential sector for any commercial jobs, they require totally different management styles and understanding of building codes. Once you’ve found a contractor with experience in your type of project, for example a custom house, ensure they have been the site thoroughly and can actually do the level of job that you require.
A good way to really know if this contractor is the right fit for you is to search the contractor online to see what others are saying about them. It’s important to look at their reviews on social media platforms and especially google reviews. These reviews will give you firsthand insight to the experience others had in working with this contractor. If possible, you can even ask local builders if they’ve worked with the contractor before.
After you’ve thoroughly screened your contractor it’s time to make the deal. Ask the contractor for a written contract and review it. Verbal agreements are a no-no. Look at the payment schedules, scope of work, materials being used, work schedules, and all other important details. Once satisfied you should sign the contract electronically.
