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
Drywall tape is a thin strip of paper or mesh applied over the joints where two panels meet. It acts like a structural bridge, preventing cracks from forming as your home settles. You need this during any installation or large-scale repair where seams are exposed. Without tape, the drywall mud would eventually pull apart, leaving visible lines across your walls. We embed it carefully to ensure the surface remains stable, flat, and crack-free throughout the life of the wall.
