How to Hang Drywall on Crooked Walls - Tips & Tricks

Remodeling a house that has been moved during its life is always challenging. Walls that may have been square, plumb, and level are now crooked, leaning, and slanted. We like to adjust framing where possible, but eventually, we have to hang the drywall. When the left side of the wall is 1 inch shorter than the right, hanging a square piece of drywall is complicated. Careful measurements and cutting the drywall to match trues the wall to the framing. Taping and mudding are easier when no significant gaps need to be filled. Some of the finish work on the trim will get complicated, but we can get a solid wall that is easy to mud.
