This project took place during a small interior update in **Vancouver, Canada**. I didn’t think drywall choice mattered much until I actually had to replace a few damaged sections in an older home. **Before photo – damaged and patched drywall**. ![1000021651](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/1/1517d1a343e134387fb7b88b5293dcbb4462e522.jpeg) ![1000021648](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/3/38f8cf3ad43d3452facf27e32b84a7125f79b027.jpeg) ![1000021647](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/a/a66350c4fcde0d2390dda594bac100325b36ce82.jpeg) The first mistake was assuming all drywall sheets were the same. After installing one section, I noticed the thickness didn’t match the existing wall exactly. It wasn’t obvious at first, but once light hit it, the seam showed. **During renovation – drywall installation and taping**. ![1000021650](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/2/21feb2836bffca4df4555cdf46cfca7ad1049cc9.jpeg) ![1000021652](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/0/042d8a7996896a879bd6e3a289ce58f2ae1f2b11.jpeg) ![1000021649](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/a/adb28624ba22bc0ba87e1be0646ef267eebb15ed.jpeg) I ended up swapping to moisture-resistant drywall in one area near a window. It cost slightly more, and carrying the sheets upstairs was harder than expected. I definitely underestimated how awkward drywall is to move in tight spaces. **After photo showing a smooth, finished wall**. ![1000021653](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/b/bfbbf8b0b04266cb02d8bf5e9bebd7f62a5f39db.jpeg) ![1000021654](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/1/19ba633fa4212d7531cc10e645ec88bb95aa9989.jpeg) In the end, the wall looks good, though one corner still needed extra sanding to blend properly. If you’re renovating in **Vancouver** , especially in older homes, match drywall thickness carefully and don’t rush finishing work. 🛠 **Real Advice** Drywall looks simple, but small mismatches show up fast. ---
