Help! I need bathroom drywall repair/installation. What kind of professional should I hire to do the job?

Question

bathroom was recently flooded, only part of the drywall needs to be replaced

Answer 1

plasterer

Answer 2

well then you want a professional drywaller, they usually do the trick

Answer 3

you can do it yourself. but if you want to spend money, you can get anyone to do it.  

Answer 4

get a general contractor, ask for a reference and quote before hand.  An honest one will give you this info without an attitude

Answer 5

For small jobs like this usually a handyman can do it.  Carpenters can generally do it also.  

I manage commercial construction and generally we use companies that specialize in drywall and framing--but thats only because we do big jobs.

For your case --like I said above either a carpenter, a handyman (or if you can find one--a drywaller) can do the job.

Just get them to do the taping and finishing of the wall too--or else you'll need to get a painter to do that for you. (Whew!!)

All of the people they use have to go through a technical test and quality test and must meet these standards on an anual basis. Each handyman is insured and bonded and all work is guaranteed.

Answer 7

call operator

Answer 8

a professional painter should be able to repair drywall, spackle and paint

Answer 9

Just get a general home maintenance man! he'll know how to do it! .. If not call a bathroom installation company! (sometimes found at bathroom tile shops) or call bathroom suppliers and ask them for a recommendation of someone! =)

Jump on yellow pages!!!

Answer 10

framers should know how to do that. It will be kind of hard to find an independant one though. Try calling some remodeling companies to see if they can get you in contact with someone that can help you.

Answer 11

I am a 37 year experienced painter and years ago the drywall finishing and painting were classified as 2 different trades,,through the years builders got tired of painters showing up to paint and then notifying the builder that the drywall finishing was not  done correctly or it wasn't complete yet..also the painter got really teed off if they had to sand all of the drywall finishers work, and usually left the job untill the drywall finishers corrected the problem...eventually it faded into that most builders would not hire a drywall finishing sub unless they also subbed out the painting too..this way the same company was responsible for both..If the painters showed up, and it wasn't complete..each painting crew then also had a drywall finisher on hand to correct the mistakes for they worked for the same company..I have done the finishing and painting for over 20 years at least and have painted since 13 years old for my uncles..get a drywall finishing/paint company combined to do this..do not get a general contractor for they will simply hire us to do it..then tack on at least 30 to 40 % for thier profit and never touch the work....DO NOT GET A GENERAL HANDYMAN OR CARPENTER EITHER....they generally do a half arz job when it comes to drywall finishing..and no amount of paint will cover a bad drywall repair job..
