Drywall Installation & Repair

A smooth, durable wall surface is essential for both the function and appearance of any interior space. At Old Crowe Construction, we provide professional drywall installation and repair services in Oakley, KS, delivering high-quality results for residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re finishing a new construction project, remodeling a room, or repairing damaged walls, our team ensures clean, seamless surfaces ready for paint or finishing.

Framing Inspection & Preparation

Before drywall can be installed, we inspect the framing to ensure it is square, level, and ready to receive panels. Proper preparation of the framing prevents gaps, uneven seams, and alignment issues that can affect the finished surface. Our team confirms measurements, stud spacing, and backing to support fixtures or cabinetry as needed.

Hanging Drywall Panels

We install drywall panels by securing them to walls and ceilings using the appropriate fasteners and spacing to meet building codes. Each sheet is measured, cut, and fitted to minimize seams and accommodate outlets, windows, and doors. Our process ensures tight joints and proper alignment across all surfaces.

Taping and Finishing

Once drywall panels are hung, we apply joint tape and multiple coats of joint compound to cover seams, corners, and fastener heads. This process involves careful sanding between coats to achieve a smooth, even finish. The final surface is prepared for painting or other finishes with minimal texture variations or imperfections.

Patching Holes and Cracks

Small holes, dents, and cracks are patched with professional-grade compounds and sanding techniques to blend repairs with the surrounding surface. We address common issues such as nail pops, seam separation, and minor water stains to restore a clean, uniform appearance.

Replacing Damaged Sections

For more significant damage, we remove and replace sections of drywall to maintain the integrity of the wall or ceiling. This process involves cutting out affected areas, installing new drywall patches, taping seams, and finishing the repair so it seamlessly integrates with the original surface.

Ceiling Drywall Repairs

Ceiling damage from leaks or structural movement requires special attention to safety and finish. We repair ceiling drywall with proper supports, taping, and blending to avoid visible patches or uneven textures. The repaired surface is left ready for paint or texture application.

Site Protection and Setup

We begin by preparing the work area to protect floors, furniture, and adjacent finishes from dust and debris. Plastic sheeting, drop cloths, and containment measures help keep the site clean and organized during drywall installation or repair.

Installation or Repair Execution

Our team carries out drywall work with a focus on alignment, secure fastening, and smooth finishing. Whether installing panels or completing a repair, we monitor quality at each step to ensure seamless transitions, even textures, and durable results.

Final Inspection and Clean-Up

Once the drywall work is complete, we inspect the surface for imperfections, correcting any minor issues to meet our quality standards. The site is cleaned thoroughly, leaving the area ready for painting or other final finishes.
