Average price for drywall installation — Pasadena, TX
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.
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 Pasadena
What is a drywall cart used for?
A drywall cart is a specialized tool designed to safely transport large drywall sheets around a job site. It makes moving panels easier and reduces the risk of damage. This is especially useful in multi-story buildings or tight spaces common in Pasadena. The cart helps keep the materials organized and prevents strain. It’s a practical item for efficient drywall work.
What kind of tape is used for drywall joints?
For drywall joints, paper tape or fiberglass mesh tape is typically used. Paper tape is embedded in joint compound and provides a strong, smooth seam. Fiberglass mesh tape is self-adhesive and easier to apply for some. The choice often depends on the installer's preference and the specific application. Pros in Pasadena ensure the tape is properly applied for a durable finish.
What makes drywall fire resistant?
Fire-resistant drywall, often called Type X, contains additives that make it more resistant to fire. The gypsum core includes glass fibers and other non-combustible materials. This slows the spread of flames and provides additional time for occupants to evacuate. It's a critical safety feature for many constructions. Professionals in Pasadena can advise on where this type of drywall is best suited.

What causes a drywall bulge?
A drywall bulge can be caused by several factors, including moisture getting behind the drywall, which causes the paper to swell and separate from the gypsum core. It can also result from improper installation, such as screws not being driven deep enough or joints not being taped correctly. Sometimes, structural issues can also lead to wall bulges. Professionals in Pasadena can diagnose and fix these problems.
What are the standard sizes of drywall panels?
Standard drywall panels, also known as Sheetrock, typically come in sizes of 4 feet by 8 feet or 4 feet by 12 feet. Thicknesses usually range from 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch. The dimensions chosen depend on the application, such as walls, ceilings, or specific structural requirements. Professionals in Pasadena select the appropriate panel sizes for optimal installation and finish.
What is Sheetrock and how is it used?
Sheetrock is a brand name for drywall, which is a building material used to create interior walls and ceilings. It consists of a gypsum plaster core sandwiched between two layers of paper. Sheetrock panels are attached to wall studs or ceiling joists and then finished with joint compound and tape.
