What affects the price

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.
