Drywall
Drywall and ceiling tile installers hang wallboards to walls and ceilings and install ceiling tile inside buildings. Tapers prepare the wallboards for painting, using tape and other materials. Many workers do both installing and taping. Drywall installers typically do the following:
Review design plans to minimize the number of cuts and waste of wallboard
Measure the locations of electrical outlets, plumbing, and windows
Cut drywall to the right size, using utility knives and power saws
Fasten drywall panels to interior wall studs, using nails or screws
Trim and smooth rough edges so that boards join evenly
