Lydia Crowder walks through why drywall deserves far more attention than most builders give it. The finish level — from level three in utility spaces to a full level five skim — shapes how every room reads, and mismatched expectations between contractor and client cause most of the headaches. Vetting both the hanging crew and the finishing crew matters just as much as the bid price; cheap work tends to surface months later as screw pops, cracking, and shrinkage. Painters factor in too, since a poor paint application can undo even a flawless drywall job. Temperature and humidity control on-site quietly determines long-term performance.
