What Hillcrest does to drywall
Hillcrest is old stock that has been worked on repeatedly. Kitchens opened up, bathrooms moved, apartments carved out of single-family homes — each round leaving a different surface behind at a slightly different thickness.
So the common job is not a clean new wall, it is new board meeting eighty-year-old plaster and having to read as one plane. That is a float-and-feather problem more than a hanging problem, and it is worth pricing honestly rather than discovering halfway through.
What we are called for here
- 01 Plaster-to-drywall transitions in period homes
- 02 Apartment conversions and unit turnovers
- 03 Hand-texture matching where no spray pattern will sit right
What framing work includes in Hillcrest
Light-gauge steel partitions, soffits and ceiling grid, framed to the drawings and coordinated with the trades that follow. For general contractors, this is the gate everything else waits on.
Layout from drawings
Walls set out and snapped, openings and headers confirmed against the door and hardware schedule.
Track, stud and brace
Track fixed, studs stood to spacing, deflection detail at the deck where the structure calls for it.
Backing and blocking
Blocking set for millwork, fixtures and grab bars before close-in, with penetrations dressed where services land.
Board under one license
Framed and finished by the same crew, so a layout error is ours to fix rather than an argument between subs.
Full detail on method, materials and timelines is on the metal stud framing page.
