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

When budgeting for new walls, factors like material quality, the number of coats of mud required for a smooth finish, and whether you need soundproofing panels will drive the final number. If you are finishing a basement or just a small room, rates vary based on accessibility.

Frequently asked in Chicago

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is a very common brand of drywall, so people often use the terms interchangeably. Drywall is the actual product, made of gypsum plaster pressed between heavy paper. The pros you'll speak with use quality materials to ensure a great finish for your Chicago home.

Can I do drywall myself?

While some minor drywall tasks can be DIY, achieving a smooth, professional finish can be tricky. It takes skill to get perfect seams and a clean look, especially in Chicago's diverse housing stock. For the best results, it's usually best to call a licensed pro.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?

The cost for 1000 sq ft of drywall installation in Chicago depends on several factors. These include the type of drywall, the complexity of the installation, and any necessary finishing touches. To get an accurate price for your specific needs, call for a free quote.

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not truly soundproof. If you need enhanced sound insulation in your Chicago residence, there are specialized drywall products available. Ask the experts when you call about options for your situation.

How much should a drywall repair cost?

The cost of a drywall repair in Chicago varies depending on the size and complexity of the damage. A small patch will be significantly less expensive than a large hole. The pros can give you a precise, no-obligation quote when you call to discuss your repair.

Can you repair damaged drywall?
