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

The total cost for hanging and finishing drywall depends on the size of the room, ceiling height, and how many corners or obstacles the crew needs to navigate. Complex layouts or specialty fire-rated boards add to the labor time.

Frequently asked in Knoxville

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is actually a brand name for drywall. The material itself is gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. So, while people often use the terms interchangeably, there isn't a functional difference for your Knoxville home's walls. The pros can explain the specific types available.

Can I do drywall myself?

Sure, you can try. But hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding drywall takes time and skill to get a smooth finish. For a professional look in your Knoxville residence, especially for larger jobs, it's usually worth calling in the pros. They have the tools and experience to get it done right.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not truly soundproof. For better soundproofing in your Knoxville home, especially between rooms or floors, pros can install specialized sound-dampening drywall or use additional insulation. They can advise on the best options for your needs.

How much should a drywall repair cost?

The cost of a drywall repair in Knoxville varies based on the size and complexity of the damage. Small patches for nail pops or minor holes are usually quite affordable. Larger holes, like those from accidents, will naturally cost more. The crew that comes out can assess the damage and give you a clear quote.
