Drywall Prices in Gainesville, FL
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the unit price for new drywall?
$2.00 to $3.50 per square foot in 2026, hung and finished. Board, tape, mud, and sanding are in that range.
What adds the most cost?
Area first. Then finish level, ceiling height, and texture. Paint is priced apart in most bids.
How do I read a bid?
Each line should name the work and its price: board, hang, finish, texture. If a bid is one lump sum, ask for the lines.
What finish level do I need?
Level 4 is the norm for walls that get flat or eggshell paint. Level 5 is best under gloss paint or hard side light.
Do patches come with a firm price?
Yes, after the free check. Most patches are $250 to $900 based on size and texture work.

Gainesville heat and humidity work on drywall all year. Wet baths and slow leaks are the top repair calls here. We price mold-resistant board as a clear line where it fits the room.
- Gainesville is home to the University of Florida.

Rentals near campus need fast patch turns. Older homes need ceiling and texture work. Baths in all ages of homes need wet-board repair, the top call in this city.
Local facts that add lines
High humidity slows dry time in summer. Mold-resistant board is a wise line in baths. Pre-1980 ceilings need a test before a scrape.
