Drywall Prices in Starke, 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?

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?

Taped seams in an unfinished room in Starke, FL

Starke is the county seat of Bradford County and the largest town in this part of north-central Florida outside Gainesville. A historic downtown commercial district and neighborhoods built in the post-World War II boom give it a wider mix of buildings than its smaller neighbors.

Local notes for Starke

Starke buildings on Call Street date to the city’s railroad and agricultural boom years. Commercial work there has to respect an older storefront and an active business at the same time. Residential streets carry a strong band of mid-century homes, some still with original popcorn ceilings.

Starke is the Bradford County seat, on US-301 northeast of Gainesville.
The Call Street Historic District holds the downtown’s early commercial buildings.
Many neighborhoods were built in the population surge after World War II.

Local cost notes

Downtown bids are commercial repairs and fit-outs, worked around business hours. Neighborhood bids lean to patch, ceiling, and texture work in mid-century homes.

How jobs tend to run here

Commercial jobs are scheduled around open hours. Home repairs match the texture common to the home’s era so the patch blends in.
