How estimates work

Estimates are free. For small repairs, a few clear photos and the room dimensions are usually enough for a number over the phone. For installations, remodels, and commercial work we walk the job or review plans first, because scope drives the price more than square footage does.

What affects the price of drywall work

  • Square footage and ceiling height — high work needs scaffolding or lifts
  • Level of finish — a level 5 smooth wall takes more coats and sanding than a textured level 4
  • Access and protection — occupied homes and finished floors take more setup
  • Board type — fire-rated, moisture-resistant, and sound assemblies cost more than standard board
  • Condition of the existing framing or substrate on repairs and remodels
  • Debris haul-off and disposal

How long drywall work takes

Hanging is fast; finishing is what takes time, because joint compound has to dry between coats. A single room is commonly three to five days from bare studs to paint-ready. Whole-house projects are scheduled in phases so painters and other trades can follow behind us.

How to get ready for us

  • Move or cover furniture and remove wall hangings in the work area
  • Clear a path for 4x8 or 4x12 sheets from the street to the room
  • Point out any known leaks, electrical, or plumbing in the walls we are opening
  • Decide on texture vs. smooth before we start finishing — it changes the process
  • Plan for dust: drywall sanding is dusty even with containment
