Drywall Services and Prices
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.
