Windows and doors should install before drywall. The the building can be dried out and heated well enough to create a stable environment for insulation, for electrical and plumbing. Drywall should not be even brought into a structure until it is dry and warm to room temperature inside.

Compound. Compound, also called spackle or mud, is an important item that goes on top of drywall. After hanging and screwing drywall to wall studs, you must apply the compound to the drywall board seams using a 4-inch-wide knife.

If your wall has distinct crevices, cracks, or textured areas, or if your brand of drywall mud isn’t offering enough coverage, you may have to do a couple of additional coats of compound. However, in general, you’ll need one coat to fill in the seams and three more coats after taping.
