Drywall repair guide
Move fragile items, clear a path and identify furniture that cannot be moved. Agree on who protects flooring and furniture and how the work area will be separated.
What to discuss before work starts
Tell the contractor about pets, occupancy and access times. Confirm cleanup expectations and when the room can be used again.
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.
