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 primer is a specialized coating applied to new or repaired walls before the actual paint goes on. Because raw drywall and dried mud are very porous, they will soak up paint unevenly without a primer. You need this to seal the surface, ensure the topcoat of paint adheres properly, and prevent flashing or dull spots. It is a mandatory step for achieving a professional, uniform look on any drywall project.

Frequently asked in St. Paul

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Sheetrock is actually a brand name for drywall, much like Kleenex is for facial tissue. So, while people often use the terms interchangeably, technically, Sheetrock is a specific type of drywall. The pros know the difference and will use the best materials for your St. Paul home.

Can I do drywall myself?

You can try, but it's a skill that takes practice to get perfect. Dealing with seams, mudding, and sanding can be messy and time-consuming. For a professional finish in your St. Paul home, it's usually best to call in the experts. They'll get it done faster and looking better.

How much does 1000 sq ft of drywall cost?

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not completely soundproof. For better soundproofing in your St. Paul home, you might need special acoustic drywall or additional insulation. Discuss your needs with the pros for the best solution.
