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

Primer is the base coat applied to fresh drywall or patches before you add your final paint color. Because drywall is porous, it soaks up paint unevenly. Primer seals the surface so your finish paint looks consistent and sticks properly. You need this step whenever new compound or drywall is exposed. It prevents the paint from looking flat or blotchy. We use high-quality primer to ensure the finish color is true to what you picked for your home.
