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

Drywall mud is the paste used to cover seams, screw holes, and corners. We apply it in layers to create a seamless transition between sheets. You need this service if you have visible joints or cracks that need smoothing before painting. Proper application is essential for a flat finish that won't show imperfections under lighting. We make sure the mud is sanded and feathered perfectly so your walls look completely solid and uniform once the job is finished.

Frequently asked in Albuquerque

What causes drywall bulge and how is it fixed?

What is a drywall cart used for?

A drywall cart is a specialized dolly designed to transport drywall sheets safely and efficiently around a job site. It helps prevent damage to the panels and makes it easier for the crew to move materials. This tool is part of the professional setup for handling large drywall projects.

What is drywall corner bead and how is it applied?

Drywall corner bead is a protective strip, usually metal or plastic, applied to outside corners. It's fastened in place and then covered with joint compound, feathered out onto the adjoining walls. This creates a durable, straight, and finished corner. Multiple coats of mud and sanding are required.

What are drywall nails used for?

Drywall nails are typically used to temporarily secure drywall sheets to studs while adhesive sets or for specific fastening techniques. However, drywall screws are more commonly used by professionals today for a stronger, more reliable hold. The pros select the best fasteners for the job.

What is greenboard drywall?

Greenboard drywall, also known as moisture-resistant drywall, has a green paper facing and is treated to resist moisture. It's commonly used in areas like bathrooms and kitchens where humidity levels are higher. The pros can install this type of drywall where enhanced moisture resistance is needed.
