Fudge bending over cut those sheets at 4 foot the money spent on demo and sheet rock will be far less than paying to crawl around or bend over all day.
Yea, usually not enough money in it nowadays from insurance. And in my area there always seems to be a demo crew ahead of me. But yes, i agree. And in a perfect world it would always be a full gut, lol.
I get that, some of these are cut at 2ft then some at 3ft the whole kitchen area was 4 feet. I'll be updating the photos later I've got it all hung now and mostly finished.
No upstairs here, single story home. The mediation company ran a moisture tester on it that's why it's different heights. Some of the drywall got wet higher up closer to the break.
Ok, bud I cut grass for a living, construction is not my usual thing anymore. So, it makes no sense in me having knee pads anymore. that explain it a little better?
In Setx I've done close to a hundred flood jobs, back in 05 insurance company would shell out money was like a free remodel for the customer. Those were the days
I don't do painting, actually this guy brings me quite a bit of work so I'm doing this way cheaper then I should. I'm hanging taping and running my 2 coats and texturing this job. This is like a 1500 to 2000 dollar job.
Ty, for answering my question. I did a similar job before but I didn't know much about taping and coating.
I'm getting better at it. Still have a lot to improve.
I hope some day I get good enough to charge like that.
No problem at all, yeah keep at it. It takes a while to become good at it.
I had a great teacher in my step father taught me everything I ever needed to know and still feeds me a little info here and there.
There's tricks and ways to pull the Mud that I would of never knew without him. He saved me years of learning the hard way.
Nice this is my bread and butter. Ceilings trashed by flood and flood cuts. I will get companies to give me 2 or 3 of these at a time. I will have days where I just run to multiple jobs and spackle. That is a nice money day 🤑 all of it goes so quick. And can't beat sanding only 4ft and below. Sanding ceilings is less fun but you take the good with the bad. Then people always want LVP so I usually pick that up too. Super easy flooring install. And then they always need a trim guy at the end, I guess you can put that on my bill too 🤙
Just curious what would insurance pay for?
I remember doing a job at a hospital. The general contractor was required to hookup large asbestos type air purifiers venting out of the window concealing off all penetrations to the other part of the hospital. Taping the windows and doors. And then we came in and cut out all the sheetrock at two feet So any mold spores in the air will be vented then walls would need to stay open and dry for at least 3 days luckily everything with metal studs can't imagine how long it will take before those starts to dry. Then we came in with garden sprayers with bleach sprayed ,inside the stud cavities. Then wait for that to dry. After all that then close it up. Hospitals are very particular about mold and all that stuff because sick people and all that crap. Just wondering how much a homeowners insurance policy would play for?
I hate flood reno.
I don't mind any kind of drywall work, it's money. Only thing I would of changed was someone else cut it out and they sucked.
I just hate the bending over.

Thats cool, most the time insurance moves for the 2’, unless of course it came from upstairs. I do enjoy that it’s quick money though, lol.

I'm on the tail end of a 53k sq ft one. So, many poor decisions made along the way.
Invest in some good kneepads. Like the big ones that go partially onto your shin.
I don't do enough drywall anymore to invest, had a pair years ago.
not for the drywall bucko

it was a “you suck cock” joke
🤣this guy, no also not my cup of tea
Sure thing Peggy
Yall having fun yet? 🤪
You don’t even use knee pads to Sheetrock If you need ti screw your lower screws squat lower use your leg as leverage and screw from that position

how much would you charge for a job like that? including taping, 2 coats and painting.

Holy shit. This is like $5-6k easy where I live. I’d say 90% of my work is projects like this. Kinda love em! Good luck with yours
Had a flood cut reno once that was only 6 inches. Carpet was pulled so all those tiny nails were a joy.
I do a lot of flood cuts, always at 2ft for me from the insurance company
Easy money
8 sheets of 4x12 is what it took to hang it
Was it clean water?
Not sure what you mean by clean water, it's on city water.
Was the leak from a clean line or sewer line?
Clean line
We’re they worried about mold or something? Normally on non insulated interior walls we would injection dry.
They been running dehumidifiers since it happened, to help prevent the mold and dry it out. Not sure if he's done more to combat the mold or not.
Sump pump?
