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
Spackle is a quick-drying filler used for small surface imperfections like nail holes, minor dings, or scuffs. It is much thicker than standard joint compound and is ideal for touch-ups. You need this if your walls are generally in good shape but have accumulated minor blemishes over time. It is a simple, effective way to get your walls looking clean and smooth before you apply a fresh coat of paint.
Frequently asked in Memphis
What's the difference between mudding and taping drywall?
Taping is the first step, where joint tape is embedded into wet joint compound (mud) over seams and corners. Mudding, or applying joint compound, follows. The pros in Memphis use this combination to achieve a perfect finish on walls and ceilings.
What is all-purpose drywall mud used for?
All-purpose drywall mud is a versatile joint compound suitable for most drywall tasks in Memphis homes. It's great for taping, filling nail/screw holes, and covering small repairs. It has a slower drying time, which gives you more flexibility to work with it. For larger jobs or multiple coats, setting-type compounds might be faster, but all-purpose is a reliable choice for many situations.
What are the best drywall finishes?
The 'best' drywall finish in Memphis depends on your preference and the desired look. Smooth finishes (Level 4 or 5) are sleek and modern, ideal for high-gloss paints. Textured finishes, like orange peel or knockdown, can add character and hide minor imperfections. The pros can help you choose a finish that complements your home's style and your specific needs.

What are drywall textures and how are they applied?
What is sheetrock?
Sheetrock is a brand name for drywall, manufactured by United States Gypsum Company. It's essentially gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. When people in Memphis say 'sheetrock,' they usually mean drywall panels. They are the standard material used for interior walls and ceilings, providing a smooth surface for painting and finishing.
What is mold-resistant drywall?
Mold-resistant drywall is specifically designed to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew. It's ideal for high-humidity areas in Memphis homes, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. It typically has a special paper or fiberglass facing that provides a barrier against moisture. Using it in these areas can help maintain a healthier indoor environment and prevent costly damage.
