Drywall - Part 2

The drywall is now finished.  After all the boards were installed, the team started to "mud & tape" them:  apply corner beans, tape seams and then apply several coats of drywall compound to each joint.  This took about a week.  They were seeking such a perfect finish that the last two days were spent holding lights about two inches from the walls, looking for imperfections to fill and sand.  The two brothers did an amazing job.

  2. Taping and painting, also known as drywall taping, is a crucial step in achieving a smooth and flawless wall finish. This process involves applying tape to drywall seams and covering them with joint compound to create an even surface before painting. Professional taping and painting ensure that walls are prepared meticulously, resulting in a polished and professional look for any space.
