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.

Frequently asked in Berkeley
How do I find drywall repair services near me?
What is fire-resistant drywall?
Fire-resistant drywall, also known as Type X drywall, is designed to provide a greater level of fire protection. It typically contains additives that make it more resistant to burning. This type of drywall is often required in certain building codes for added safety. A professional can determine if it's necessary for your project.
What is drywall compound used for?
Drywall compound, commonly called mud, is used to cover the seams between drywall panels and to conceal screw or nail heads. It's applied in multiple thin layers, with sanding between each coat to create a smooth, uniform surface. This process is essential for a professional-looking finish before painting. We can arrange a quote.
What is level 5 drywall finishing?
Level 5 drywall finishing is the highest standard, involving a full skim coat over the entire surface. This process applies a thin layer of joint compound to all drywall areas, not just seams and fasteners. It creates an exceptionally smooth, uniform surface, ideal for high-gloss paints or critical lighting. It requires significant skill. We can book a pro.
What causes a drywall bulge?
Drywall bulges can be caused by moisture, which causes the gypsum core to expand and potentially weaken the paper. Improper installation, such as screws being too loose or fasteners not being set correctly, can also lead to bulges over time. Building settlement might also contribute to this issue. We can help diagnose and fix it.
