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.

Frequently asked in Madison
What is drywall hole repair and how is it done?
Drywall hole repair involves filling any openings in the wall or ceiling. For small holes, a self-adhesive patch or spackle might be used. Larger holes require cutting out the damaged section and fitting a new piece of drywall, which is then taped and covered with joint compound. Pros apply multiple layers of compound, sand smooth, and prime the area to match the surrounding wall perfectly.

What is drywall mud and how is it used?
Drywall mud, or joint compound, is a paste used to cover seams between drywall sheets, conceal screw or nail indentations, and repair imperfections. Pros use it to prepare walls and ceilings for painting or other finishes. Different types of compound are available for various applications.
What is drywall compound used for?
Drywall compound, also known as joint compound or mud, is essential for creating smooth finishes on drywall. It's used to cover the seams between drywall sheets, conceal screw or nail indentations, and fill any holes or cracks. Pros ensure it's applied evenly.
What kind of drywall tape is best for repairs?
For drywall repairs, both paper and fiberglass mesh tape are commonly used. Paper tape, when embedded in joint compound, creates a very strong and smooth seam, often preferred by professionals for its finish. Fiberglass mesh tape is self-adhesive and can be easier for some to apply, though it requires careful mudding. Pros choose based on the repair's needs.
What is a drywall patch and how is it made?
A drywall patch is a piece of drywall material used to fill holes or damaged areas in a wall. For smaller holes, a self-adhesive mesh patch might be used, followed by joint compound. For larger holes, a new piece of drywall is cut to fit the opening, secured, and then taped and mudded. Pros ensure the patch blends seamlessly with the existing wall.
