1/2 drywall — Rockford, IL
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. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

It provides enough structural integrity for typical interior rooms while being manageable to install. 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.
