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
Sanding is the final step used to smooth out dried joint compound so the wall is perfectly level before painting. You need to sand after your final coat of mud has fully dried. Using a sanding sponge or pole sander, you remove ridges and high spots to create a seamless transition between the tape and the drywall. It is a dusty job, so wearing a mask is important. A smooth sand ensures that paint won't highlight uneven areas or joint lines.

How thick should drywall be for my project?
The most common drywall thickness for residential use is 1/2 inch, which is suitable for walls and ceilings. Thicker options, like 5/8 inch, offer better fire resistance and sound dampening.

How do I spackle small holes in my drywall?
