Question: Should drywall be nailed or screwed?
Top Answer (83% of 36 votes): Drywall should be screwed in place..

Answer: Drywall should be screwed in place.
Explanation: Nails crush the drywall when dimpled in, therefore will show over time as gravity from the weight of the drywall pulls on the crushed dimples. Plus nails tend to loosen slightly with movement or vibration causing "pops". Screws hold in place tightly without crushing the drywall.
