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 an installation includes in Hillcrest
Hanging is the quick part. What you are paying for is layout that keeps joints off the sightlines, fastening that meets code, and finishing that leaves a surface genuinely ready for paint.
Takeoff and layout
Board takeoff, sheet direction planned to reduce joints, rough-in inspected before anything is covered.
Hang to code
Ceilings then walls, joints staggered, fasteners to spacing, cutouts tight to boxes, correct board for each assembly.
Tape, bead and coat
Bead set true and checked with a straightedge, then coats built with drying time between them.
Finish and hand off
Finished to the specified level, walked with you under a work light, offcuts and debris removed.
Full detail on method, materials and timelines is on the drywall installation page.
Skim Coating & Level 5
A skim coat is a whole-surface job, not a joint job.
