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

Drywall finishes refer to the final level of smoothness applied to your walls. They range from a rough, utilitarian level meant for garages to a 'Level 5' finish, which is perfectly smooth and ideal for high-gloss paint or bright lighting. Choosing the right finish depends on your aesthetic goals and the room’s function. Higher levels require more labor and sanding. Costs depend on the level of detail requested.
