1/2 drywall — Kent, WA
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.

Frequently asked in Kent
Is moisture-resistant drywall a good choice for Kent homes?
How do you repair a hole in drywall?
Repairing a hole in drywall typically involves cutting out the damaged area into a clean square or rectangle. A new piece of drywall is then cut to fit the opening and secured in place. Joint compound is applied over the seams and any screw or nail holes, followed by sanding and priming. The goal is a smooth, invisible repair. We achieve this professionally.
What is the mudding and taping process for drywall?
What is greenboard drywall used for?
Greenboard drywall, also known as moisture-resistant drywall, is designed for areas with higher humidity. It's commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements in places like Kent. The paper facing has a waxy coating that helps repel moisture and prevent mold growth. It's a good option for these specific applications. We recommend it when appropriate.

What's the best way to sand drywall?
The best way to sand drywall involves using fine-grit sandpaper (around 120-220 grit) and a sanding block or pole sander. For a smoother finish, sand lightly between coats of joint compound. Always wear a dust mask and safety glasses. Power sanders can speed up the process for larger areas. We ensure a dust-controlled finish.
