Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the cost, measure the total square footage of the walls and ceiling you intend to cover with drywall. Multiply this total square footage by the per-square-foot rate (e.g., $1.50-$3.50 in Decatur, GA) that corresponds to the project's complexity and desired finish. Don't forget to factor in waste and specific material types.
The per-square-foot cost typically includes the drywall sheets themselves, fasteners, joint compound, tape, and labor for hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding. For mid-range and premium projects, it also covers some finishing and texturing services.
Mudding and taping are integral parts of the finishing process and are generally included in the overall per-square-foot installation cost. For a typical household drywall installation, the all-inclusive cost, including material and labor for finishing/texturing, averages $1.50 - $3 per square foot.
Yes, for repair or renovation projects, you should factor in the cost of removing and disposing of old drywall. This can include labor for demolition and hauling fees, which are separate from installation costs but essential for the full project scope.
Standard 1/2-inch drywall is the least expensive. Specialized types like moisture-resistant (greenboard), fire-rated (Type X), soundproof, or ultralight drywall will increase material costs due to their enhanced properties. Acoustical panels also represent a higher material cost depending on their sound absorption ratings and finishes.
