In my experience contractors get the job done (some better then others), but rarely have I found that they do so perfectly or with as much attention to detail as the home owner would have liked. | |

While I have said several times here that Green Glue is not an adhesive, it still has grab. When I tore down that suspended, double-layer/GG wall a few weeks back that I had put up last year at this time, it was impossible to pull the sheets apart. The drywall would crumble and break before it would separate. I'll also add that the pics I posted of their drives in my other question were the worst of, not an example of every screw, but many still broke the paper even if it was by only 1/16". | |
| Nov 19, 2012 at 11:49 | comment | added | oscilatingcretin | Well, I am going against my better judgement here and just having them finish. The holes have already been mudded and taped and I only have three pics to show examples of some of the worst drives. I should have raised more of an issue with it the first time I saw it, but I didn't, so there's a lesson learned. I knew I should have hung it myself. | |

Show them the samples you made. And NO, professional drywall hangers do not do them as they did on your job. 95% use a DeWalt drywall gun like in the pics I sent you. | |
