Need to know if I need to remove the sheetrock on the ceiling when installing a new interior wall?

Cool

Hello,

You do not need to remove the sheetrock in order to build an interior wall. Your top plate can be nailed to your rafters through the sheetrock. If your rafters run parrallel to the wall, you can either use wall anchors to attach the top plate, or put in blocks between the rafters to attach to.

Hope this helps,

Good Luck!
