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 Cary
Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Some homeowners attempt DIY drywall, but it's a skill that takes practice, especially for large areas or tricky repairs. Getting those seams perfectly smooth and the mud coats even can be tough.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?
The cost for 1000 sq ft of drywall can vary quite a bit based on material choice, labor rates in Cary, and the complexity of the job. Factors like ceiling height and whether it's new construction or a repair also play a role. The best way to know for sure is to get a personalized quote.
