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 Boston

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is actually a brand name of drywall, much like Kleenex is to facial tissue. So, while people often use the terms interchangeably, all Sheetrock is drywall, but not all drywall is Sheetrock. The material itself is gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper, and it's the standard for interior walls and ceilings in homes across Boston.

Can I do drywall myself?

You can certainly try, but it's a skill that takes practice, especially for a clean finish. Getting the seams just right, applying mud evenly, and sanding without creating dust clouds can be tricky. For a professional look in your Boston home, especially for larger projects or repairs, it's often worth bringing in the pros.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?

The cost for 1000 sq ft of drywall can vary based on the type of board needed and the complexity of the installation. Factors like the number of corners, any necessary cutting around windows or doors, and the type of finish required all play a role. To get an accurate idea for your Boston project, it's best to get a personalized quote.

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not truly soundproof. For better sound isolation in your Boston apartment or home, you might consider specialized soundproofing drywall or adding extra insulation. However, for most everyday needs, standard drywall does a decent job of reducing noise transfer.
