Drywall installation fastens gypsum board to wood or steel framing to create interior walls and ceilings. It yields smooth, durable surfaces ready for finishing and improves fire resistance, sound control, and structural consistency. Proper work requires accurate measuring and cutting, secure fastening to studs or joists, precise joint treatment, and finishing to meet code and aesthetics.

Fishing drywall is creating a smooth, uniform surface by applying joint compound, embedding tape, and feathering/sanding multiple coats until seams, fasteners, and imperfections are invisible and ready for primer or paint. Tasks include taping joints, filling screw/nail heads, successive compound applications sanding or skim-coating for texture, and final inspection to ensure flatness and blended edges. Skilled finishing minimizes visible joints and defects and readies surfaces for the final finish.
