Lydia Crowder, better known as Drywall Shorty, is an expert contributor and host of the Build Show Network. As a second-generator drywall finisher, Lydia has over 18 years of experience and finishes over 500,000 sq. ft. on drywall a year. Lydia began sharing drywall tips and tricks on Instagram – @DrywallShorty – rapidly becoming a go-to resource for professionals and DIYers.
Despite her expertise in drywall. she recognizes there are situations where drywall isn’t the best choice. After discovering Trusscore at the International Builders Show, Lydia decided to use it in her new commercial workshop and studio.
Lydia needed a solution that would provide durability and functionality without damaging the existing drywall as she’s renting this space. Being an environment continually exposed to drywall mud, tools, and dust, she required a wall solution that is waterproof and easy to clean, ensuring a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for her workshop. She chose Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard and Trusscore SlatWall to create a space that is not only durable and waterproof but also highly organized for filming, material storage, and office work. The renter-friendly nature of Trusscore products allowed Lydia to enhance the space without causing any damage the existing structure, preventing any potential repair costs and unexpected fees.

The Trusscore Advantage
When professionals choose materials for their projects, they seek products that streamline their work without compromising on quality. Trusscore stands out in the industry, not just because of its innovative design but because of the practical benefits it offers to both DIY enthusiasts and seasoned industry professionals.
Ease of Installation: A Game Changer
Trusscore products are designed with ease of installation in mind. Whether you're a DIYer taking on a home project or a contractor working on multiple client sites, Trusscore simplifies the process. The pre-finished panels install four times faster than traditional drywall, eliminating the need for skilled labor and reducing the overall project timeline. This means you can focus on the creative and functional aspects of your project rather than getting bogged down by time-consuming installations.
Total Cost of Ownership: A Smart Investment
While Trusscore may have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional alternatives like drywall, the long-term savings are significant. The total cost of ownership for Trusscore products is lower due to their durability, ease of maintenance, and the elimination of frequent repairs or replacements. With drywall, the initial savings can be quickly offset by the costs associated with additional materials and labor required for installation, damage repairs, repainting, and ongoing maintenance. The strength and durability of Trusscore ensures that your investment pays off over time, making it a cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial projects.
Durability and Lifetime Warranty: Peace of Mind
Trusscore products are engineered to last and to outlast the buildings they’re installed in. Their superior durability means they can withstand the wear and tear that often damages drywall, such as moisture, impacts, and regular use. This robustness is backed by a lifetime warranty, offering you peace of mind and confidence in your choice.
