Drywall: You know it, you love it, but you probably don’t know too much about it. These pesky panels are the essential component for sturdy walls and ceilings. Made of gypsum, drywall is used for decorative and functional purposes.
The hallmarks of drywall are that it’s durable, simple to install, and easy to repair. But don’t let it fool you! Improperly installed drywall can lead to disaster down the road. Misplaced wall studs or too little joint compound are the bane of homeowners everywhere. So, you don’t want just any Joe Schmo coming in to install or repair your drywall.
Well, never fear! Because we’ve tracked down the top six drywall contractors in the Pittsburgh area. Whether you need a new wall put in or a hole patched because Timmy was playing ball in the house again, these companies know how to get it done.
