How long should we wait before fixing nail pops in drywall

2 years ago

We finished construction on our home this summer, however we need to put a finish coat of paint on all of the doors and trim, as well as a final fresh coat of paint on all the drywall. There are a few areas that have some screw pops. My gut says to wait a full year for things to settle/shift/swell before repairing and painting over the pops. Is that reasonable? Too short? Too long?


Realistically I don't mind waiting a bit, or needing to come back and fix one or two/touch up paint, however we have a vaulted area that we will need to have professionals with huge ladders come out for, and I only want to have them come once.
