Wanna learn how to hang drywall on ceilings the easy way?
If the answer's YES, then you'll love our video tutorial. Steve White from SRW Contracting (www.srwcontract...) shows you how he hangs drywall by himself.
All you need are a few tools and some elbow grease, which always comes in handy :D
Steve remodels bathrooms every week and the first step, after demo, is to install the ceiling.
Often times he's by himself. So he uses a drywall lift to hang ceilings. This costs about $40 to rent, although Steve owns one.
Once the drywall is flush to the the ceiling joist you can screw it to the joist using an impact driver and drywall setter. The setter costs about $5 for a set of 4.
Make sure the drywall is square with the top plate. Then you can drill screws every 16 inches on the Xs that are on the drywall. If your joists are 24 on center you should apply a bead of liquid nail to them then attach the drywall.

There's nothing better than helping a friend out with a DIY video that could make their project go a lot better.
Thanks for watching my video, take care, and see you in the next one!!
Cheers,

Hey I just wanted to thank you guys for this simple yet excellent and helpful tip. My mom just let me know her kitchen ceiling drywall had broken and fallen down Friday night. I work at a hardware store and have never done this so I’ll be helping her situate this and give her joy again. God bless you guys! Again, thank you for this it truly means the most. She sounded so down and out and now she’ll be happy and stress free ❤
Simple and straight to the point. Thank you Steve!
Jeff, that is a must have tool if you are doing it by yourself. Nice job. Douglas
RetroWeld hanging drywall by yourself is no fun, having a lift makes it so much easier :D
Excellent presentation. You instructed every point that was necessary. Thanks!
+Ken Lowe glad it helped 👍
I was told that you start by placing the edge of your sheetrock against the exterior wall side, they say it is straighter than interior wall sides. Also I was told that corners cannot meet, that they must be staggered, away from each other. Other considerations are protecting electric and plumbing so as not to drill a screw through them. And also for old work to insulate/reinsulate ceiling, if needed.
Great video! I just found out about this tool to where I can do the job by myself today cuz when I was doing construction when I was younger we didn't have that. Thanks for helping me out!
Going to try this today, my parents need to cover up a part of their kitchen ceiling …. This is going to be challenging
He said " he likes Coarse thread screws because they run better." Coarse thread drywall screws are meant for wood studs/floor joists and fine thread are for steel stud framing! It's not preference but function. Coarse thread drywall screws will barely bite a 22 gauge steel stud IF YOU'RE LUCKY!
Good tip re: using 5/8 drywall and using adhesive on the ceiling
Dude, can you come and do my project? I love how easy you made it look. Wish me luck tomorrow!
Well done! You can also use a plumb bob to mark location of ceiling openings on the floor and then use that floor mark to find the center on the new ceiling?
Thanks for mentioning that tip, great suggestion and it doesn’t cost much 👍

@@HomeRepairTutor what is the name of the red tool you are using and where can I buy it? Thanks so much.
@@kaizer2312 I think you can find it in the Home Depot, you can rent it from them I believe.
@@kaizer2312 It's a drywall lift. If you rent one for a week, you will pay the same as buying one. If you rent one for a couple hours, it's a good deal.
Very helpful. TY. How do you cut the drywall straight? Table Saw?
Wow I'm impressed,I can't wait to remodel my daughter's basement.
Went out to rent one of these at Home Depot and found out that although this lift may allow a person to install ceiling drywall, but it takes 2 or 3 people to lift it up onto and then off the bed of a pickup truck. This thing weighs somewhere around 250 pounds. Thus I didn't even rent it.
Rookie question, what is your torque settings on the drilling part?
“I always use 5/8 on the ceiling because it stays flatter...” You use 5/8 on the ceiling because it’s fire code. Good video. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.
we know about the code but forgot to mention, thank you for adding that
Is only code in certain places. Just became code where I am. Nobody does it.
Last time I looked it up it’s only code when there’s a living space overhead. Typically in a garage when there’s a bedroom or something directly above it. If there’s no living space above then 1/2 is legal.
My question is where's the glue? I always thought you should glue. Dry to keep the screws from popping later I know that's a small room with not much flex in the ceiling but it sure would be nice to see glue. Construction adhesive
The lip is to let the fan Hang 1/2 of an inch below the joist for drywall
a collagated tool is very expensive but so is the lift. I am also doing some garage weathering of a water damaged ceiling and need to decide how much to spend on tools.-I have the sheetrock and all the building materials. but my electric screwdriver is the only tool I have!
Well done for this non pro. Learned a few things. Well done.
Thanks, hope the tips helped
This was so helpful thank you! I am really glad to have stumbled across this channel ♡
Thank you for this I need to redo my ceiling after a leak and my boyfriend is taking too long so I needed direction to help girl boss it
I just stopped in to see if I was doing it right. What I do is hold one side with my left hand then grab the drill with a screw already in the bit with my right hand and screw a few, which holds that side as I then proceed to screw the other side.
Wow thank you for this video
great video. about to finish garage now. thanks
Really good info. Thx
Did you use a impact for hanging the drywall
When you put the wall up, does it butt up underneath the ceiling piece?
What I don’t understand is how do you screw in the adjourning drywall? The drywall that he installed covered the entire last joist, so what support will the next piece of drywall have?
Great tutorial, I need the name of that drywall jack, what’s it called ?
I only wish we had that contraption to help! That makes it soooo much easier! I wholeheartedly disagree with the vent fan portion though. Per the manufacturers specifications (Broan for example), you leave it 1/2" below stud so it sits flush with 1/2" drywall and then you can add the outer faceplate onto it.
I’m trying to find the contraption & it’s name so I can shop for it.
I learned some cool tips on this one! A drywall lift? Who knew? Wow! Thanks Guys!
Christine Taylor sweet, glad to help. Thanks for checking out the tips :D
I have a house that was built in 1970. I am about to have a new ceiling installed because mine is broken and falling because of a sunken slab foundation(recently repaired). Will my current attic insulation have to be discarded?
brad h Hi, if insulation looks good and dry no point of replacing it! Unless of course if you really want to.
YES GIVE IT TO YOUR NEIGHBORS FOR A CHRISTMAS PRESENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job.
A pair of safety eye wear would be nice.. great presentation by the way!
you’re totally right
Can I use a drywall lift in a narrow hallway?
Where can I get the tool that’s holding the ceiling
When you’re square setting the ceiling corners, doesn’t the tapered edge Vs non tapered edge show up when taping and mudding?
I"m watching this to see how the ceiling studs look because I am installing a new dining room light fixture and I cannot find the studs!...I removed the old fixture and that leaves about a four or five inch whole in the drywall....sticking a long screwdriver up in there in all directions I cannot contact or feel a stud anywhere!...so frustrating! I tried to use magnets but the drywall is 3/4" thick and that did not work and my cheap stud finder is worthless.....the NEW fixture is a stained wooden box 6 inches wide by about 3 feet long and four or five inches deep with light bulbs hanging down under the box a bit.....
Thanks
Is this Jim Thome’s brother
Should the sheets be staggered or doesn’t it better?
THANKS MAN I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW HOW THAT WORKED... NOT THAT I AM GOING TO USE ONE......
Beautiful
Genius carpentry
Mükemmel video devamı gelsin
Does this work for a ceiling in the garage.
Im using 1/2 Moisture and Mildew for the cieling and walls is that ok?
Thank you! So helpful 😊
That's a nice jack safes your back!!!! But how do you cut those hole for wants?
Why is there no vapor barrier on the ceiling?..
it's not required
How to mud drywall ceiling
Helpful! Does it matter what the height of the top plates are relative to the ceiling, as long as the drywall is screwed to the joists above? I ask because my basement studs are cement with a 1x2 stuck to the ends of them with no top plate. (It is a precast foundation )
Where can I get that tool my back is really bad by then way I'm using my daughter's account
Why no strapping
what brand drywall lift do you use?
What is the lift called?
that machine should come with a electric powered motor and a remote control so you can push a button up or down...maybe in the 2020 model....
Still no!
Oh ya thanks alot for the video. I wasn't looking to install drywall to my ceiling by myself or anything. Really needed a video on how to spend hundreds of dollars on a stupid drywall holder so I could screw 9 pieces into the ceiling and literally never use the stupid tool again
Rent it
Well done but you forgot to mention to put the seam perp and next to the door
Isn’t strapping needed? Won’t the floor joist move and potentially damage the drywall over time? Or is 5/8 thick enough so strapping isn’t needed.
YEP SMOKE ANOTHER ONE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!
Strapping definitely should be done, straight to joists is kind of crappy work
Funy, he didn't strapping 😂
Another Steve White... ;-)
Thanks for sharing.
Great Tips!
Builders Wholesale thanks :D
Fine screws are for Metal.
Thanks for the drywall tip about the lip around the vent fan. I was trying to get ideas how professionals do it and it was exactly the tip I needed!!
Be warned. if a pan is designed to extend through the drywall, it will not pass fire inspection the way he installed it.
If you are looking for a way to hang panels on walls by yourself check out www.hangprolift.com. The only tool made specifically for one person to transport, lift, adjust and hold panels on walls. Never have to lift a panel again when hanging walls. Works with upper and lower panels and can handle 16 foot sheets.
Normal code for screw field is 3+perimeter in Colorado. Where are you?
I am german. I love how americans call their shoeboxes "houses".
Although I must admit that this video is well made and really full of good information. Well done.
No strapping ???
Can you rent this at home depot
Most likely yes
How long did it take to do the entire room?
It looks like the mechanical contractor butchered the joists in the corner. Someone should have installed a header joist to support the joist thats just dangling and has no bearing on anything. I also have to wonder how the drywall was attached under that duct because there is no framing in the corner beyond the duct to screw into.
Does this tool also work for angled ceilings?
Yea
I thought code for screw spacing is 6 inches on ceilings?
What drill can be used in case of Steel studs? My regular drill doesnt bore through them.
AHHH A BIGGER DRILL ???? MAYBE !!!!! ARE YOU AND ADRIAN SMOKING THE SAME STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COS YOUR GUYS ARE WAY OUT THERE !!!!
What size screws for 1/2 inches drywall for ceiling and what size for wall ?
AT LEAST 3 AND 1/2 INCHES........ 4 IF YOUR WITH THE DUMMYS ABOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!
What happens if your joists are bowed in the middle? How do you flatten the ceiling?
Furring strips
5/8" is also minimum code in about 90% of the country
NOPE ABOUT 50% ONLY........ SOME STATES DO NOT HAVE CODES IN THE COUNTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY NEPHEW BUILT A 3000 SQ FOOT HOUSE AND FORGOT TO PUT CLOSETS IN IT..
I TOLD HIM TO BUY THE METAL SHIPPING CONTAINER TO PUT CLOTHS IN .
Do you not need to tie the drywall in at the end where there is no joist!? Why does no one talk about this?
That’s exactly what I was thinking? Where is the adjourning drywall supposed to be screwed in??
Question: on a room that is 50' x 12' would it be best to use 12' sheets, run them parallel to the joists and avoid doing any butt joints - or would this cause problems somehow?
you could do that, running them perpendicular will provide a more solid installation though
i noticed the 412 area code on this guys shirt! He doesn't sound like Yinzer, like I do n'at.
Lol, we’re Yinzers
Listen close and he definitely has some Pittsburgh'eez! 412 Rocks! I'm from the East End!
Surprise is at 8:36 **
I bloody love that song.
Can I use 1/4 inch on the ceiling if the joists are 16"?
No. Never.
I don't think I would ever use quarter-inch anywhere.
Shouldn't the drywall be a 1/4 inch from the wall studs?
+zurkram that's a pretty big gap, 1/8" would suffice but others might disagree
If the ceiling is old and out of square, how do you lay it out different ?
Bloomfield in the house 15224 born!
Should have never ran screws all the way in before routering, saves from blowing out the edges.
I have a 12x12 room, what length board should I buy? 8 or 12?
12 if that’s feasible
If you have the maneuverability, go with the longer board. Less taping joints.
Our trailers different???????? Am sure it is.
How much does it cost? Say 300 sqft ceiling.
What happened at 6:01 !!!
Looks to me like IRC building code (Table 602.3(1) and Table 702.3.5 require fasteners on ceiling drywall at 7" spacing maximum. I think you're pushing it with 16" spacing which is less than half the fasteners per building code. Yeah, the adhesive will help...
Three guys nails in each corner sit Board on nail heads screw up jobs a good un
Ceailing are suppose to be 12 inches apart . Not 16
The lift makes sense if you are alone but its a complete waste of time if you have guys with you doing a job. by the time you have it on the lift, we're already done!
Why didn't you notch out for the wall at the front, right side? Pretty goofy.😒
Why does everyone in PA sound like this 😭
That roof its not even 8 ft high..
This is the second video about drywalling that the instructor is not wearing safety glasses! Don't forget your safety gear!
