Post Flood Advice
I had 27" in my house and they paid for the whole sheets of sheetrock




The Sheetrock needs to be brought to the factory edge and if rock was laid down during hanging, which most is , that would be at 48". Trying to work a factory edge into a butt joint on the existing is very hard to do and most finishers can't do it. This you will always see that joint.

You don't save any money just cutting 1 foot up.

The adjuster pays the square footage calculated from one foot above the water. Your sheetrock guy will charge for full sheet. I took out whole sheets because I was thinking like you and definitely lost money on the item. Most everyone around me cut just above the water and the guys blended in the texture where you can't see the joint.
