What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Drywall installation hangs gypsum panels (4x8, 4x10, or 4x12) on wood or steel framing using drywall screws driven with a dimpler bit, then finishes seams with paper tape and three coats of all-purpose joint compound (coat, fill coat, finish coat) sanded between coats. Ceilings use 5/8-inch Type X drywall for fire rating and stiffness; walls use 1/2-inch standard or moisture-resistant (MR) board in wet areas. Level 5 finish (skim coat) is required under flat paints and critical lighting conditions.

Common questions from clients looking for Drywall Installation services
Level 5 is a skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface, providing a uniform porosity that prevents "picture framing" and banding visible under flat paints and raking light — required in high-end residential work and commercial spaces with critical lighting.
1/2-inch is standard for walls on 16-inch OC studs; 5/8-inch is used on ceilings to reduce sag (especially on 24-inch OC framing), in fire-rated assemblies (Type X), and on any ceiling with heavy texture.
Banding (seams visible through paint) is caused by insufficient coats, underfilling the tape layer, rushing between coats, or failing to sand adequately between coats; a skim coat over the entire wall eliminates the porosity difference between compound and drywall paper.
Paper tape (properly bedded in the first coat) is stronger and produces a flatter finish; fiberglass mesh tape is self-adhesive and easier to apply but requires setting-type compound (not all-purpose) for adequate strength in seams under stress.
MR (moisture-resistant) drywall has a moisture-resistant facing and core — appropriate for bathroom walls around tubs (but not in direct water contact); tile backer board (cement board, Schluter Kerdi) is required for surfaces that will be tiled.
