    cracks forming in drywall

    MoneyPit Ya, you should have no problems if ur garage has been built for a while. I do all new home drywall finishing and usually at the 1 year mark(house been built) Id go back and fix all the small nail/screw head pop outs.

    cracks forming in drywall

    Im a drywall finisher. What probably happend is ur new shop "setteld" a bit and the result is cracked joints. In your case seems a bit excessive.Usually when a new structure settles the nail/screw head pop out. If not that, your drywall finisher didnt use right method or materials for a proper job.
