How Our Process Works

Framing starts with layout markings based on your floor plan or remodel design. Studs are cut to precise lengths, fastened at sixteen-inch centers, and checked for level and plumb at every opening. In Lufkin, where humidity can affect lumber, materials are acclimated on-site before installation to prevent warping or movement after walls are closed.

Once framing passes inspection, drywall sheets are hung, screwed into place, and seams are taped with joint compound. Badillo Construction applies multiple coats of mud, sanding between layers to achieve a seamless finish. Drywall repair for holes, cracks, and water damage follows the same process, blending patches invisibly into surrounding surfaces.

Corner bead is installed on all outside angles to prevent chipping, and screw heads are set just below the surface to avoid pops or dimples. Textured finishes are matched using spray equipment or hand tools depending on the pattern. Dust is controlled with plastic sheeting and jobsite vacuums, and all debris is removed at the end of each phase.

Details That Matter Most

Clients in Lufkin often want to know about repair limits, texture matching, and how framing impacts room dimensions. These answers cover the most frequent questions.

How do you ensure framed walls stay straight over time?
Lumber is inspected for straightness before use, and studs are fastened securely at top and bottom plates. Blocking and bracing are added where needed to prevent lateral movement.
Can you match existing wall textures during a repair?
Yes, textures like knockdown, orange peel, and skip trowel can be matched using the same tools and techniques. Samples are tested on scrap drywall before application.
What's the difference between a Level 4 and Level 5 drywall finish?
Level 4 is standard for most walls and involves taped seams and sanded joints. Level 5 adds a skim coat over the entire surface for a glass-smooth finish ideal for high-gloss paint.
How long does drywall take to dry before painting?
Joint compound typically dries within 24 hours between coats. In humid Lufkin conditions, drying times may extend slightly depending on ventilation and temperature.
Do you handle framing for load-bearing walls?
Yes, load-bearing framing is completed with engineered headers and proper support columns. All structural work is reviewed and permitted as required by local building codes.
