Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you are budgeting for drywall work, several factors determine the final bill. The total square footage is the biggest driver, but the complexity of the space matters just as much. High ceilings, intricate corners, and multiple levels require more labor and specialized equipment. If you need repairs, the size and depth of the hole, plus the difficulty of matching existing textures, change the scope. Materials like moisture-resistant board for bathrooms or fire-rated panels for garages also add to the budget. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service

If you skip or rush this step, your tape lines and joints will be clearly visible once the light hits them. Professionals apply multiple thin coats to get the best result.

Frequently asked in Lewisville
What's the difference between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch drywall?
The primary difference between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch drywall, often used in Lewisville homes, is thickness and strength. 1/2 inch is standard for most walls and ceilings. 5/8 inch, also known as Type X, offers increased fire resistance and is often required for ceilings or between units in multi-family dwellings due to its rigidity and sound-dampening qualities. The pros can help you choose the right type for your project.
Is greenboard drywall good for bathrooms?
Greenboard drywall, also known as moisture-resistant drywall, is a popular choice for bathrooms and other damp areas in Lewisville homes. It has a special paper facing and core designed to withstand higher humidity levels than standard paper-faced drywall. However, it's not waterproof, so it's still important to ensure good ventilation and consider other moisture barriers for areas like shower enclosures. The pros can advise on the best materials.
When should I use mold-resistant drywall?
You should definitely consider mold-resistant drywall in areas of your Lewisville home that are prone to moisture and humidity. This includes bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements. Even with good ventilation, these areas can develop condensation or experience minor leaks. Mold-resistant drywall is treated to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew, helping to maintain a healthier indoor environment. The specialists can help you identify where it's most beneficial.
What is Level 5 drywall finish?
Level 5 drywall finish represents the highest standard of smoothness for walls and ceilings. It involves applying a full skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface after the initial taping and filling of seams and screw holes. This is followed by extensive sanding to create a perfectly uniform and pore-free surface. This level of finish is crucial for high-gloss paints or situations where light will hit the wall at an angle, as it hides imperfections completely.
What does mudding and taping drywall involve?
It starts with applying joint compound (mud) over the seams between panels and over screw or nail dimples, embedding paper or mesh tape. Multiple thin layers of mud are then applied and feathered out, with sanding between each coat to achieve a perfectly flat and uniform surface ready for paint. It's a skill that takes precision and practice.
