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
Sanding is the final step of smoothing the dried joint compound so the surface is perfectly flush with the wall. You need to do this after the mud has fully cured, using fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge. It is essential for removing any ridges or lap marks created during the application process. Proper sanding ensures that when you apply your primer and paint, the wall looks uniform and professional.
