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.

What is drywall mud and what is it used for?
Drywall mud, also known as joint compound, is a paste used to fill gaps and seams between drywall panels. It's also used to cover screw or nail heads. It's applied in multiple thin layers, with sanding between each coat, to create a smooth, uniform surface. It's essential for finishing.
Is moisture-resistant drywall suitable for all damp areas?
Moisture-resistant drywall is good for areas with moderate humidity, like bathrooms and kitchens. However, for areas with direct water exposure, such as shower enclosures or behind sinks, specialized waterproof panels or cement board are usually a better choice. Professionals can assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate material to prevent moisture damage.
What is 1/2 inch drywall typically used for?
Half-inch drywall is the standard thickness for most interior walls and ceilings in residential applications. It's lightweight, easy to cut and handle, and provides adequate strength for typical uses. For areas requiring increased fire resistance or soundproofing, thicker drywall like 5/8 inch might be specified. Professionals often choose 1/2 inch for its versatility and cost-effectiveness.
