1/2 drywall — Durham, NC

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.
