Preventing Drywall Issues

Relax, knowing that the job is done right.
Preventing Drywall Issues

We make sure the unexpected doesn't happen.

In our constant pursuit of quality we take unusual steps to make sure nothing unexpected happens down the road.

For example, before we start a project, we measure the moisture content of the wood framing to make sure it doesn’t exceed the acceptable limits. We also make a video of all the bare walls and ceilings in case there is a need to confirm what is (or isn’t) behind the drywall.

Our boarding and finishing processes are geared towards an impeccable finish that will not degrade with time, with the aid of various very closely guarded trade secrets.

Truss Uplift Issues

This crack is caused by truss uplift.

Very few drywall companies have any idea of what truss uplift is, or how to prevent its effects.

With seasonal changes, trusses tend to move up and down.  This causes unsightly cracks between the walls and the ceiling, especially toward the center of the house.  Seasonal issues will re-occur every single year, and you will need to live with them, or pay money every year to have them fixed.  However if you have the job done right in the beginning, you won’t have problems with truss uplift, saving you a lifetime of hassle and expense.

At TDC Drywall, our highly trained professionals know how to prevent truss uplift issues before they happen.   Call us for a boarding job that will last for your clients, and which will look good in all the seasons.

A Typical Screw Pop

It’s likely that you’ve seen this in the past… when boarding is done poorly, you’ll see screws coming through the drywall.

With correct boarding procedures, screw pops are either non-existent, or kept very minimal.
