Drywall Installer Jobs in New York

A Drywall Installer, also known as a Drywall Finisher or Taper, is a crucial professional in the construction industry. Their primary responsibility is to install wallboards to ceilings or interior walls of buildings. This involves measuring, cutting, and fitting large panels of drywall, securing them in place, and smoothing out imperfections with tape and compound to create a seamless surface. They may also apply texturing and create decorative effects to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the walls.

Essential skills for a Drywall Installer include physical stamina, manual dexterity, ability to read and interpret blueprints, competence in using hand and power tools, and an understanding of construction methods and building codes. Certification may not be required; however, a high school diploma or equivalent is often necessary, and some installers may complete apprenticeships or vocational training. Prior to becoming a Drywall Installer, individuals may have roles such as a Construction Laborer, Carpenter's Helper, or Plasterer.
