How Do You Become A Drywall Contractor?
Drywall, a popular wall covering material, places the finishing touches on a structure’s interior walls. Drywall contractors fall into two general categories: those who install, or hang, sheets of drywall, and those who finish, or tape and texture, drywall. Both types of drywall professionals follow a similar path to licensure and most are familiar with all phases of drywall installation. Whether you are considering a career in drywall or already on your way, understand the steps required to become a drywall contractor and concentrate your efforts toward the goal of licensure and earning professional drywall contracts. Earn experience through on-the-job training or a vocational education program. State licensing bodies require relevant drywall installation, finishing and construction management experience before an individual qualifies to take a drywall contractor’s licensing exam.
