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.

About this service
Spackling is the process of filling small indentations, nail pops, or minor gouges using a lightweight compound. You need this when you are prepping your walls for a fresh coat of paint or fixing everyday wear and tear. It is a quick way to restore a smooth surface. If you have many deep holes, it might take several passes to get it flat, which is a factor that shifts the labor time.
