Drywall sheets — Springfield, IL
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
Drywall sheets are the large, flat panels of gypsum board that form the actual surface of your walls and ceilings. They come in various thicknesses and specialized types, such as moisture-resistant boards for bathrooms or fire-rated versions for garages. You need these when you are framing new rooms, finishing an attic, or replacing large sections of walls that have been destroyed. They are the foundation of your interior walls before the finishing process begins.

What is greenboard drywall?

What is drywall tape used for?
Drywall tape is used to cover the seams and corners between drywall panels. It's typically applied over a layer of drywall mud. The tape reinforces the joint, preventing cracks from forming later. It's essential for creating a smooth, continuous wall surface. Different types exist, like paper and fiberglass mesh.
What is 1/2 inch drywall typically used for?
Half-inch drywall is the standard for most residential walls and ceilings. It's lightweight and easy to handle. It offers good performance for typical interior applications.

How do you fix spackling holes in drywall?
Fixing spackling holes in drywall involves applying the spackle in thin layers. For small holes, one or two applications might suffice. For larger holes, multiple layers with sanding in between are needed. Ensure each layer is dry and smooth before applying the next.
