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
Corners are the junctions where two walls meet or where a wall meets the ceiling. You need specialized metal or paper-faced corner beads here to reinforce these areas and keep them perfectly straight. Whether you are dealing with inside or outside corners, the goal is to create a sharp, durable edge that won't crack when the house settles. Getting these joints right is crucial for a clean, finished appearance.

What is 1/2 drywall?
1/2 inch drywall is the most common thickness used for residential walls and ceilings. It offers a good balance of strength, weight, and affordability for most standard applications. While 1/2 inch is standard, thicker drywall like 5/8 inch is available for enhanced fire resistance or soundproofing. Pros select the appropriate drywall thickness for your project's specific needs. They ensure it meets performance and safety requirements.
What is drywall primer used for?
Drywall primer is applied to new drywall surfaces before painting to seal the porous paper and joint compound. This ensures that the paint adheres evenly and prevents 'flashing,' where some areas absorb more paint than others, creating an inconsistent finish. Priming also helps the topcoat of paint cover better. Pros always prime new drywall. They ensure a uniform, professional paint job. It's a crucial step.

What are drywall panels?
Drywall panels, also known as gypsum board or wallboard, are the standard building material used to create interior walls and ceilings.

These panels are attached to wall studs or ceiling joists, and the seams between them are taped and covered with joint compound to create a smooth, continuous surface ready for painting. Pros expertly install and finish these panels.
