What affects the price

Drywall projects vary based on a few main factors. The total square footage, the height of your ceilings, and the level of finish required—like smooth wall versus textured—are the biggest drivers. If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Sheetrock is simply a brand name for standard gypsum wallboard. People often use it interchangeably with drywall. You need it when you are building new interior walls or ceilings, or replacing sections damaged by water or impact. It provides the smooth, fire-resistant surface that hides your studs and creates the structure for your rooms. If you are starting a renovation, this is the primary material we install to create a clean, paint-ready foundation for your home.

Frequently asked in Akron

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is a specific brand of drywall, much like how a 'tissue' is a type of 'facial tissue'. Drywall is the general term for the gypsum-based panels used for interior walls and ceilings. So, while many people use the terms interchangeably, sheetrock refers to a product made by USG.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?

The cost for 1000 sq ft of drywall materials can vary based on the type and thickness of the board selected. However, the labor for installation and finishing is typically the most significant expense. For an accurate price, you'll need a customized quote for your specific project.

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound absorption but is not truly soundproof. If sound insulation is a priority for your Akron residence, consider using denser drywall or incorporating additional soundproofing materials during installation. Professionals can guide you on the best solutions.

How much should a drywall repair cost?

The cost of a drywall repair is largely dependent on the size and complexity of the damage. Minor repairs, such as nail pops or small dents, are usually less expensive than larger holes from accidents or water damage. The wall's texture and finish also influence the price.
