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.

About this service
Spackle is a paste used to fill small holes, nail pops, or minor surface imperfections in your drywall before painting. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, making it the go-to solution for light cosmetic maintenance. You need spackle when you are refreshing your paint or fixing tiny blemishes left behind after removing wall art or shelves. For larger structural damage, professional patching is usually required.

Frequently asked in Chicago
Can I do drywall myself?
Attempting drywall installation or repair yourself in your Chicago residence can be a challenging DIY project. Achieving smooth, professional seams and finishes requires specific tools and techniques that are hard to master. Incorrect installation can lead to cracking or an uneven appearance. Hiring a pro ensures a quality result.
How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?
Is drywall soundproof?
Standard drywall offers some sound dampening capabilities, but it doesn't provide complete soundproofing. For enhanced acoustic privacy in your Chicago home, pros can install specialized sound-dampening drywall or other soundproofing materials. This is a popular upgrade for home offices and bedrooms.
How much should a drywall repair cost?
The cost for a drywall repair in Chicago depends on the size and nature of the damage. A small ding or crack will be less expensive than a larger hole caused by an accident or water damage. The pros will assess the repair needed and give you a precise quote for the work.
Can you repair damaged drywall?
Yes, drywall repair is a common service that the pros in Chicago offer. Don't live with damaged walls; let a specialist restore them to perfection.
Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?
Sheetrock is actually a brand name for drywall, a common building material. Think of it like 'Kleenex' for tissues. So, while people often use the terms interchangeably, drywall is the general product. When you're looking for repairs or installations, either term will get you to the right specialist.
