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

Drywall primer is a specialized coating applied to new or repaired walls before the actual paint goes on. Because raw drywall and dried mud are very porous, they will soak up paint unevenly without a primer. You need this to seal the surface, ensure the topcoat of paint adheres properly, and prevent flashing or dull spots. It is a mandatory step for achieving a professional, uniform look on any drywall project.

Frequently asked in Aurora

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Not really. Sheetrock is a common brand name for drywall, much like how people often say 'Kleenex' for tissues. Both terms refer to the gypsum panels used for interior walls and ceilings. Our Aurora pros understand both terms when you call to discuss your project.

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall provides some level of sound dampening but is not entirely soundproof. For improved sound isolation in your Aurora home, especially between rooms or in home theaters, we can explore options like using thicker drywall or specialized acoustic treatments.
