Wanted: Recommendations for someone to replace stud/sheetrock wall
I need to replace part of a stud-and-sheetrock wall in my basement that has been damaged by water, and would appreciate any recommendations for people who could do this. Thanks.

Drywall and wood (2x4) studs are the most common residential products. Is the flooring fixed? That first! Then get a carpenter to do the work at about $200 to $300 a day. Make sure a permit is issued and the workers are insured. Materials will be the cheaper than the tradesmen and the architect may not be needed, the building department will tell you. A commercial carpenter will probably use metal studs. They are waterproof and easy to install (less mess). Make sure this is not a structural condition. Your home owners insurance should pay for all or most of the construction and permitting cost.

permits and insurance?..for replacing sheetrock in a basement??...expect to pay triple if you go this route. Hire a handyman, give him 2-3 days and all will be solved.
