On repairs, matching existing texture is the hard part. Ask how they match knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes so the patch disappears.
Hang, finish, or both
Some crews only hang, some only finish. For a clean result, confirm one crew handles hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding.
Confirm dust control
Sanding drywall makes fine dust that gets everywhere. Ask how they contain and clean it, especially for interior repairs in an occupied home.
