Greenboard drywall — Ann Arbor, MI
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you are budgeting for drywall, the final number depends on a few specific factors. The size of the room is the biggest driver, but the complexity of the installation matters just as much. For example, high ceilings, intricate corners, or tight spaces require more labor time. If you need special moisture-resistant boards for a bathroom or fire-rated panels for a garage, material costs will shift accordingly. Finishing levels also change the price; a smooth Level 5 finish involves more sanding and prep than a standard garage finish. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Greenboard is a water-resistant version of drywall that features a protective paper coating. While it is not waterproof, it performs better in humid environments than regular panels. You typically use this in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or kitchens where moisture levels are slightly higher. It is a common choice for areas that will be tiled. Costs vary depending on the amount of material needed for your specific layout; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
