Get Smooth Walls Ready for Paint

Drywall Installation in Fargo, North Dakota

If you are remodeling a room in Fargo, finishing a basement, or repairing walls damaged by leaks or impacts, drywall installation gives you smooth, paintable surfaces that look clean and professional. Drywall covers studs and insulation, hides wiring and plumbing, and creates the flat walls and ceilings that define how a room looks. JR and GR Handyman Services LLC installs drywall with tight seams, flush corners, and smooth finishes that are ready for paint or texture. The work is common in renovation projects, new additions, and homes where old plaster or damaged drywall needs to be replaced.

The process involves hanging sheets of drywall on the framed walls and ceiling, securing them with screws, and then taping and mudding the seams so they disappear. Once the mud dries, the surface is sanded smooth, and any imperfections are touched up. The finished walls are flat, consistent, and ready for primer. Whether you are preparing a room for new paint or finishing a space that was previously unfinished, the drywall creates the clean surfaces that make a room feel complete.

How Drywall Is Hung and Finished

You start by making sure the framing is complete and any insulation, wiring, or plumbing is in place. Sheets of drywall are measured, cut, and hung on the studs or joists using screws that sit just below the surface. Seams are taped with paper or mesh tape, and joint compound is applied in layers to fill gaps and smooth transitions. Once the compound dries, the surface is sanded to remove ridges and create a uniform finish.

After the drywall is finished, you will notice that the walls and ceiling are smooth and solid to the touch. Seams are invisible, corners are crisp, and the surface is ready to take paint without showing lines or bumps. The room feels enclosed and finished instead of open and rough, and you can start painting or texturing right away.

The service includes hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding. It does not include painting, texturing, or priming unless arranged separately. The finished drywall restores clean, usable interiors and gives you a solid starting point for the rest of your project.

Homeowners in Fargo usually want to know how long drywall takes to dry, whether texture is included, and what to do about damaged or outdated walls.

Black check mark.
How long does drywall take to install?
Hanging drywall usually takes one to two days depending on the size of the space. Taping, mudding, and sanding take several more days because each coat of compound needs to dry before the next one is applied.

Can you match existing texture on walls or ceilings?
Texture is applied after drywall is finished and primed. We can match common textures like knockdown or orange peel, but exact matching depends on the age and style of the existing finish.

What if my walls have holes or cracks?
Small repairs can be patched with joint compound and sanded smooth. Larger damage may require cutting out the damaged section and installing a new piece of drywall before finishing.

Do you remove old drywall?
Yes, if walls are damaged or need to be replaced, old drywall can be removed and disposed of. This is common in remodels or when repairing water damage.

Is drywall installation messy?
Sanding creates dust, so floors and furniture are usually covered during finishing. Dust is cleaned up after the work is done, and the space is left ready for the next step.
