Missouri experiences a continental climate with significant seasonal variations, including hot, humid summers and cold winters. These conditions can affect the drying times and performance of drywall materials. Extended periods of dry indoor air in winter require careful moisture management to prevent shrinkage, while summer humidity can slow the curing of joint compound. Our team adapts its methods to account for these environmental factors, ensuring proper installation and a durable finish.
