Plywood Sheathing & Backing Installation

Plywood adds stiffness to walls and gives other trades something solid to fasten to. We install plywood sheathing on exterior walls and gables, and plywood backing where cabinets, equipment and fixtures need extra support.

FAQ

Plywood & Backing questions

Can you add plywood backing before drywall?

Yes. It's the best time to do it. We install plywood backing during framing so it's in place for cabinets, handrails, TVs and equipment.
