1/2 drywall — Lansing, MI
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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
Half-inch drywall is the standard thickness used for most residential wall and ceiling applications. It provides enough structural integrity for typical interior rooms while being manageable to install. If your walls are damaged or you are finishing a basement, this is the most common material choice. The total cost is influenced by the number of sheets needed and access to the work area.
Frequently asked in Lansing
How much does drywall installation typically cost?
What are the different types of drywall finishes?
Drywall finishes range from Level 1 (basic) to Level 5 (highest smoothness). Level 4 is common for most residential walls, providing a good surface for paint. Level 5 involves a full skim coat for a perfectly smooth finish, ideal for gloss paints. Pros can also apply various textures to the drywall. The chosen finish impacts the final look and cost.
How are drywall tape bubbles typically fixed?
Drywall tape bubbles occur when air gets trapped under the joint tape during installation. To fix them, the pro will usually cut out the affected area, reapply joint compound, and embed a new piece of tape smoothly. Sometimes, a more extensive repair is needed if the bubble is large or the tape is lifting significantly. This requires careful attention to detail.

What's the process for repairing a bulging drywall section?
A bulging drywall section often indicates moisture issues or improper installation. Pros will first assess the cause, which might involve checking for leaks or loose fasteners. The damaged section may need to be cut out and replaced, or the bulge might be addressed by reinforcing the area. Proper repair ensures the wall is stable and looks smooth again. Addressing the root cause is key.
What are the benefits of using drywall panels?
Drywall panels, or sheets, offer a quick and efficient way to create smooth interior walls and ceilings. They are relatively inexpensive, fire-resistant, and provide a good surface for painting and decoration. They are the standard for modern construction and renovation.
What is Level 5 drywall finishing?
Level 5 drywall finishing is the highest standard, involving a full skim coat of joint compound applied over the entire drywall surface, followed by thorough sanding. This creates an exceptionally smooth and uniform finish, ideal for applications where light will hit the walls directly or when using high-gloss paints. It requires significant skill and precision from the finishing crew to achieve perfectly.
