Moisture-resistant drywall and cement or foam backer board installed over studs, taped and finished correctly so the walls behind tile and paint stay dry, straight and sound.
Behind every bathroom tile is a board that does more work than most people know. The wrong board in a wet area can swell, soften and crumble. Homeowners in Nashville who open a wall during a remodel often find that moisture has already damaged the old drywall.
We open and inspect the framing, replace any wet or rotted wood and install the right board for each area: cement board or foam board in showers, moisture-resistant drywall in dry parts and standard drywall in the ceiling when ventilation is good. We tape and finish seams, set the board flat and straight and prepare the wall for waterproofing, tile or paint. We explain which materials work where, so you can understand your plan. Walls hide their problems until the tile is gone. When we open a bathroom, we check the studs, the insulation and the back of the old board for stains or soft spots. We show you what we find, and we repair it before new board goes up, so the new walls begin on solid ground.
We look for wet or damaged studs and repair them before covering the wall with new board.
Cement board, foam board and moisture-resistant drywall each have a place, and we explain where they go.
Boards are fastened to the framing and set flat, so tile and paint look right.
Seams are taped and finished or sealed as the material requires, ready for waterproofing and tile.
