What to Do When Drywall Is Installed by a Professional Home Repair Service
After your professional home repair service has finished hanging the drywall and the joints are sealed and finished, you have to put two layers of paint to give the drywall its finished look. However, before you apply those, you or your drywall expert will have to seal it with primer. Should you paint over new drywall with standard wall paint, you’ll find it difficult to get an even look. You could get acceptable results with using self priming paint.
