1/2 drywall — Nampa, ID
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.

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 Nampa
What's the typical use for drywall mud?
Drywall mud, or joint compound, is essential for finishing drywall. Pros use it to cover the seams where two sheets of drywall meet, as well as to fill screw or nail holes. This ensures the wall looks uniform and is ready for paint. Getting the mudding right is crucial for a good finish.
What does PVA drywall primer do?
PVA drywall primer is applied to new drywall before painting. Its primary function is to seal the porous surface of the drywall and joint compound, preventing the topcoat of paint from soaking in unevenly. This results in a more consistent paint finish and reduces the amount of paint needed. It helps ensure the final color looks its best. The pros know when to apply it.
What kind of fasteners are used for drywall?
Pros typically use drywall screws to attach gypsum board to wall studs and ceiling joists. These screws have a specific thread pattern designed to hold the drywall securely without tearing the paper. Nails were used historically, but screws offer better holding power and are less likely to pop out over time. The right fasteners are key to a durable installation.

How does a drywall patch work for holes?
A drywall patch is used to repair holes in existing drywall. For small holes, spackle or joint compound might suffice. For larger holes, a piece of new drywall is cut to fit, secured to the wall, and then taped and mudded to blend seamlessly with the surrounding area. The pros know the best method for different sizes of damage. This restores the wall's appearance.
What are some common drywall textures?
What is Level 5 drywall finishing?
Level 5 drywall finishing is the highest standard of finish for drywall installations. It involves applying a full skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface, followed by sanding. This creates an ultra-smooth and uniform surface, ideal for high-gloss paints or areas with critical lighting where imperfections would be highly visible. It requires significant skill from the finishing crew.
