Drywall Installation Tips

  • Use 5/8" Type X drywall for garages and fire-rated walls.
  • Use moisture-resistant greenboard or cement board in bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Standard screws: drive every 16 inches on studs and ceiling joists.
  • Budget about 1 lb of screws per 500 sq ft of drywall.
  • One 5-gallon bucket of joint compound covers approximately 200–250 sq ft.
