Dead Ending Into Corners

In this episode of The Build Show, Lydia shares pro tips for handling drywall details when wood trim, tile, or other finishes dead-end into corners. She walks through best practices for creating clean termination points—especially when white oak wall cladding or similar materials meet exposed drywall edges. Lydia explains multiple finishing options, including using metal corner bead, tear-away solutions, or JB trim, and emphasizes why communicating with trim carpenters and finish crews is critical before committing to a detail. She also covers common scenarios at ceilings and bathrooms, as well as precautions for protecting natural wood surfaces during drywall finishing.
