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

Corner bead is the metal or plastic trim we install on outside wall corners to keep them sharp and protected. Without it, the drywall edges would be soft, brittle, and easily damaged by daily traffic. You need this during new installations or when rebuilding a wall corner that has been crushed. It provides a hard, straight edge that we cover with mud to create a clean, durable corner that stands up to bumps and general wear and tear.

Frequently asked in San Francisco

What causes a drywall bulge?

A drywall bulge can be caused by several factors, including excessive moisture behind the drywall, which causes the paper to expand and separate from the gypsum core. It can also result from improper installation, where fasteners are not adequately secured, or if the joint compound was applied too thickly and dried unevenly. Professionals can diagnose the cause and perform the necessary repairs.

What are drywall corners?

Drywall corners are where two walls meet at a 90-degree angle, or where a wall meets a ceiling. These areas are particularly prone to cracking if not reinforced properly. Professionals use specialized drywall tape and joint compound to create strong, smooth corners that blend seamlessly with the rest of the wall surface, ensuring durability and a clean aesthetic.

What is PVA drywall primer?

PVA (polyvinyl acetate) drywall primer is a water-based primer specifically formulated for use on new drywall. It's designed to seal the porous paper surface of the drywall and joint compound, preventing uneven absorption of paint. This ensures a more uniform paint finish and helps the topcoat adhere better. Pros use PVA primer to prepare new drywall for painting.

What is the average cost for drywall installation in San Francisco?

What is 1/2 drywall?

1/2 inch drywall is a standard thickness for walls and ceilings in residential construction. It offers a good balance of rigidity, weight, and cost-effectiveness. While thinner options exist for specific applications, 1/2 inch drywall is commonly used for most interior walls and ceilings due to its durability and ease of installation. Pros choose the appropriate thickness for each job.

Where can I find drywall repair near me in San Francisco?

What are the different drywall ceiling finishes?

Drywall ceiling finishes can range from a smooth, Level 4 or Level 5 finish, ideal for painting, to various textures like popcorn or knockdown finishes. Smooth finishes require meticulous application of joint compound and sanding. Textured finishes can hide minor imperfections but have their own application techniques. Pros can explain the options and recommend the best for your San Francisco home.
