Drywall repair guide
Cutting and sanding can create dust. Protection and cleanup should be discussed before the job starts, particularly in occupied rooms and near sensitive belongings.
What to discuss before work starts
Ask what containment and extraction methods are planned and who handles final cleaning. Do not assume every quote includes the same protection.
Put the scope in writing
Confirm the affected surface, repair method, finish boundaries, room access and any separate work before scheduling. The condition of concealed material can change what is needed.
