drywaller
Gypsum board installer
A drywaller is a tradesperson who installs drywall—the large panels of gypsum board used to create interior walls and ceilings.
The work involves measuring, cutting, and securing panels to framing, then taping and finishing the seams.
We hired a drywaller to finish the basement.
