Drywall in Bossier City

Bossier City contains two almost separate housing populations, and they need different things from a drywall contractor. The mid-century housing that grew up around Barksdale Field after its 1933 dedication carries hand-applied textures, plaster in the oldest examples, and framing that has been drying and shrinking for half a century. North Bossier, including the newer gated developments, is recent enough that first-cycle settlement is the usual culprit instead.

The city also has flood history a drywall contractor cannot ignore. The Red River crested above 37 feet in June 2015, the highest in roughly 70 years, and more than 20 inches of rain fell in March 2016. A great deal of drywall was replaced quickly in that period, and the repairs that failed were the ones closed up before the cavity was verified dry.
