A gutted room eliminates much of the dirt and grime associated with removing old carpet tile or wood flooring.
Do floors or drywall first.
Both drywall work and floor installation create a mess but drywall s mess far exceeds that of flooring.
When you re hanging drywall and installing new flooring it s usually best to hang the drywall first and then save the floor for last.
Even though you will have removed the baseboards.
The finish flooring can add 3 8 to 3 4 inch to the height of the floor.
The ideal is to first do any prep work to the walls e g ripping up wall paper sanding and patching walls etc.
This will simplify the attachment of the drywall panels to the framing.
From there you should rip up the floors.
Time and mess if time is of the essence it s quicker to hang the drywall and tape out the walls first.
Also it s often better to paint the ceilings first especially given that the ladders will rest on the floors.
Insulation happens before drywall.
In new construction homes where no flooring has been laid yet this is the way it works.
Make sure any insulating work and vapor barrier installation are complete before you begin hanging drywall panels.
The general construction rule is to work from the top of the room downward.
Install drywall on the walls before installing floor covering.
The reason for that is that this can damage the floors.
When you run a floor sander around a room there is the possibility of scuffing up newly painted walls.
Walls are put up first then the floor covering comes later.
This recommendation does not apply to subfloor.
You d have to lay the flooring and cover it with industrial plastic sheeting and duct tape the joints to answer your question.
By putting in the drywall first you separate drywall and its dust from the flooring later on.
The first step to hanging drywall is to take a pencil and mark on the floor and ceiling the placement of the vertical studs.
