Instead of gutting all the drywall on this remodel, we were able to remove the old drywall tape then retape and texture, which saved both time and money. Three factors caused the old tape to tear: the structure settling, an earthquake, and a lack of drywall blocking. Originally, no door existed to the office entry, so for this particular space a sliding barn door worked perfectly. For the finishing touches we added new baseboards, trim, and a fresh coat of paint.
