Hanging drywall

By James Grokman, CEO, TapeAndFloat · Updated 2026-10-28

Hanging is cutting and fastening drywall sheets to the framing with screws or nails, before any taping or finishing.

Why it matters on a drywall job

Good hanging, with fewer butt joints and tight fits, saves time in finishing.
Many subs price hanging and finishing separately, so check which the GC is asking for.
