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 mud is the paste used to cover seams, screw holes, and corners. We apply it in layers to create a seamless transition between sheets. You need this service if you have visible joints or cracks that need smoothing before painting. Proper application is essential for a flat finish that won't show imperfections under lighting. We make sure the mud is sanded and feathered perfectly so your walls look completely solid and uniform once the job is finished.

Frequently asked in Washington

What are drywall nails used for?

Drywall nails were historically used to fasten drywall to studs, though screws are more common today. Nails are sometimes used in conjunction with adhesive for specific applications or in repairs. The pros select the most appropriate fasteners for the job to ensure a secure and lasting installation.

How do professionals sand drywall?

Drywall sanding involves using sandpaper or abrasive screens to smooth out joint compound after it dries. Pros use various techniques, from hand sanding for small areas to pole sanders for larger surfaces. Dust control is also a key consideration.

How is 1/2 inch drywall used?

Half-inch drywall is the standard thickness for most residential walls and ceilings. It's lightweight and easy to handle, making installation efficient. The pros use it for general interior applications where standard structural support and finishing are needed. It provides a good base for paint and finishes.

What is mold resistant drywall?

Mold resistant drywall is treated with special materials to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew. It's often used in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. The pros can install this type of drywall where increased resistance to moisture is a priority.

How is mudding and taping drywall done?

Mudding and taping involves embedding drywall tape into a layer of joint compound over drywall seams and screw heads. Multiple thin layers of joint compound are then applied and sanded smooth. It's a skill that requires precision and patience.

What is soundproof drywall?

Soundproof drywall is designed to reduce the transmission of sound between rooms. It's typically denser or made of multiple layers to absorb sound waves. The pros can install this specialized drywall in areas where noise reduction is important, such as home theaters or bedrooms.

What is drywall compound used for?

Drywall compound, often called mud, is used to conceal drywall tape and fill screw or nail indentations. It's applied in thin layers and sanded smooth between coats. It's a vital material for a professional look.
