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

Drywall corner bead is a rigid strip made of metal or vinyl that is installed on the sharp corners of walls. It protects the edges from getting dented and provides a perfectly straight line for the wall. You need it whenever you have an outside corner, such as where two walls meet at a 90-degree angle. It is essential for creating clean, crisp edges that can withstand everyday bumps and scrapes in high-traffic areas.

Frequently asked in New York

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is actually a brand name for drywall, like Kleenex is for tissues. Most people use the terms interchangeably. The material itself is gypsum plaster sandwiched between two sheets of paper. It's the standard for interior walls and ceilings in New York apartments and houses.

Can I do drywall myself?

Sure, you can try. Professionals have the tools and experience to avoid common mistakes like improper taping or uneven mudding, saving you time and frustration.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost in New York?

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not truly soundproof on its own. For better sound isolation, especially in dense New York City buildings, pros can use specialized drywall or add extra layers and insulation. This is crucial for apartments where noise transfer is a concern.

How much should a drywall repair cost?

The cost of a drywall repair varies widely based on the size and type of damage. Small nail pops or minor dents are usually less expensive than larger holes from accidents. Factors like the location of the damage and the finish required after the repair will also play a role in the final quote.

Can you repair damaged drywall?

Absolutely. Pros can repair everything from small dings and cracks to larger holes caused by water damage or impacts. They'll assess the damage, prepare the area, and then patch, tape, and mud the area to match the existing wall texture and finish. Getting it fixed promptly prevents further issues.
