Installation begins with measuring and cutting drywall sheets to precisely fit room dimensions, followed by hanging them on walls and ceilings with screws or nails, and applying insulation behind for thermal and acoustic purposes. The process continues with taping and finishing, which includes applying joint tape over drywall seams, covering tape and screw/nail holes with joint compound (mud) for a seamless finish, and sanding the dried compound to prepare the surface for painting or wallpapering.

Repairs involve patching holes, cracks, and dents with new drywall, smoothing out surface imperfections, and replacing areas damaged by water, ensuring any underlying issues like leaks or mold are addressed. Texturing adds various surface finishes, such as knockdown or orange peel, while also offering the option to smooth out previously textured surfaces.

The final steps in the drywall process include soundproofing and fireproofing by installing specialty drywall for enhanced acoustic or fire safety, adding finishing touches like priming for paint and installing corner beads for durability and aesthetics. Drywall contractors handle a wide range of projects, from new constructions and renovations to remodels across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. 

Their work often requires coordination with other trades, including electricians and plumbers, to ensure proper work sequencing and system integration, highlighting the comprehensive nature of drywall installation and finishing services.
