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
These are the standard sheets of gypsum board used to create interior walls and ceilings. You need them whenever you are framing a new room, finishing a basement, or replacing damaged sections of a wall. The final cost depends on the thickness of the board, the specific type needed for moisture or fire resistance, and the amount of labor required for installation.

Frequently asked in Boston
What is the standard drywall thickness?
The most common drywall thickness used for walls and ceilings is 1/2 inch. For areas requiring enhanced sound dampening or fire resistance, 5/8 inch drywall is often specified. In some cases, thinner 1/4 inch drywall might be used for repairs or curved applications. The appropriate thickness is determined by building codes and project requirements.
What is the cost of drywall?
The cost of drywall installation varies based on the project's size and complexity. Factors include the square footage, ceiling height, and any special finishing requirements. New installations and extensive repairs will naturally incur higher costs than minor patching. We provide free, detailed quotes. This ensures transparency before any work begins.

What causes a drywall bulge?
A drywall bulge can result from several issues, including moisture seeping behind the panel, structural movement within the building, or improper fastening during installation. It's often a sign of an underlying problem that needs professional assessment. Addressing the bulge promptly can prevent further damage to your walls. We can arrange for an inspection.
What is 1/2 inch drywall?
What is drywall corner bead?
Drywall corner bead is a metal or plastic strip installed along outside corners where two drywall surfaces meet. It provides a straight, durable edge and protects the corner from damage. It's then covered with joint compound to create a smooth, finished corner. Proper installation is key for a clean look.
