What fastener is used for hanging a piece of sheetrock on a wood stud?

You can use drywall nails (ridged) or drywall screws. I am not a drywaller, but have done lots of it and prefer the screws.


How much does it cost to have someone put down drywall all together?

in southern Tennessee the average cost is 6 dollars per board to hang the sheetrock(4 x 12 sheets) and 12 dollars per board to finish it. This is for the number of boards purchased, One quick note, when hanging sheetrock most people will not piece sheetrock they will only use full sheets, this seem like alot of waste but it results in a look that is smooth and neat. Good Luck


How would you install commercial 2X4 ceiling tile to a dry wall ceiling?

Sheet rock screws. Alternative: If you have a hole in your ceiling and want to fix it you use a piece of wood to hold a piece of Sheetrock which you will finish with plaster or joint compound. You would cut a piece of wood more narrow than the hole and longer than the hole. Put the wood into the hole so it cannot fall out. Cut a piece of Sheetrock to about match the hole and screw the new piece of Sheetrock to the wood. Use joint compound to give the repair a finished look. If you simply put joint compound into the hole it will crack and take many coats. Paint.
