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
Nails were the traditional way to attach drywall to studs, though most pros now use screws for a stronger hold.

If you have nail pops causing bumps in your paint, you need someone to reset or replace them with screws for a permanent fix. Repair costs depend on how many areas need attention; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
