Drywall repair guide
Stop the source, assess affected materials and establish suitable drying conditions before closing a wall or ceiling. Cosmetic finishing belongs at the end of that sequence.
What to discuss before work starts
Separate the drywall scope from plumbing, roof repair, water extraction and remediation. Confirm which contractor is responsible for each step.
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.
