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

The total investment for hanging and finishing drywall depends on the size of your space, the ceiling height, and how many corners or complex angles are involved. Larger projects or those with textured finishes often impact the final bill compared to basic wall paneling. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in New York

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is actually a brand name for drywall, a common building material made from gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. So, while all Sheetrock is drywall, not all drywall is Sheetrock. Pros in New York are familiar with all types of wallboard and know which is best for your project, whether it's a new build or a repair in your Manhattan apartment.

Can I do drywall myself?

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?

The cost for 1000 sq ft of drywall in New York can vary significantly. Factors include the type of drywall needed (e.g., standard, moisture-resistant), labor rates in your specific borough, and any necessary prep work. A pro can give you an accurate quote after seeing the space.

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not truly soundproof on its own. For enhanced soundproofing in a New York apartment or studio, pros might recommend thicker drywall, multiple layers, or specialized sound-dampening insulation. Ask about options when you call for your quote.
