The Taper’s Struggle: Why Properly Set Screws Matter

At S.A. Drywall Pro Solution, we pay close attention to every step of drywall installation, including proper screw setting. Improperly set screws, often called “proud screws,” can cause major challenges for tapers and painters. Screws that aren’t flush or slightly recessed create bumps, making it difficult to achieve a smooth finish.

Why Screw Depth is Crucial?

1. Smooth Taping and Mudding: Proud screws create uneven surfaces, requiring extra mud and sanding, which adds time and material costs.

2. Better Paint Finish: Properly set screws prevent unwanted bumps from showing through paint, especially with glossy finishes.

How S.A. Drywall Pro Solution Avoids Proud Screws:

• Using the Right Tools: Our team uses screw setters and drills with depth control to ensure consistent screw depth.

• Checking at Every Step: We conduct regular checks to make sure every screw is set correctly.

• Precision Training: Our specialists are trained to reduce rework and improve final quality.

At S.A. Drywall Pro Solution, we know that even small details, like screw setting, play a big role in achieving a smooth, professional finish and the long-lasting quality of your project.
