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
When drywall bulges, it usually means the panels have buckled from moisture trapped behind them or frame movement. You need to address this quickly because the material will eventually crack or crumble. We identify the source of the bulge, cut out the damaged section, and install new panels to restore a flat surface. Final costs depend on whether we need to fix the framing underneath.
Frequently asked in St. Paul
Where can I find drywall services in St. Paul?
What is a PVA drywall primer?
A PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) drywall primer is a water-based primer specifically formulated for use on new drywall and joint compound. It penetrates the porous paper and mud, sealing the surface to provide a uniform base for paint. This prevents the paint from absorbing unevenly, which can lead to a patchy appearance. It's a standard and effective choice for most drywall projects in St. Paul.
What are common drywall finishing tools?
Common drywall finishing tools include a variety of taping knives and mud pans for applying joint compound. Putty knives are useful for smaller repairs. For smoothing, hand sanders, pole sanders, and sanding sponges are used. Corner tools help create clean inside and outside corners. The pros bring all the necessary specialized tools to ensure a smooth, professional finish on every job.

What is moisture-resistant drywall?
Moisture-resistant drywall, often called greenboard, has a facing that is treated to repel moisture. It's a good choice for areas in St. Paul homes that experience higher humidity, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, or basements. While it offers some protection, it's not waterproof and shouldn't be used in areas that will be directly exposed to water. It's a practical option for many residential applications.
What is a drywall sanding sponge?
A drywall sanding sponge is a flexible block with an abrasive surface, designed for sanding joint compound on drywall. Its flexibility allows it to conform to curves and corners, making it easier to achieve a smooth finish in tight or irregular areas. They come in different grits for various stages of sanding, from initial smoothing to fine finishing. The crew uses these for efficient and precise sanding.
