Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage, measure the length and height of each wall, multiply those numbers, and then sum the totals for all walls. Do the same for the ceiling. While you might subtract for large openings like windows and doors, many contractors include them to account for cuts and waste, or apply a smaller deduction.
Labor-only pricing typically means you are only bidding on the installation (hanging) and finishing (taping, mudding, sanding) of the drywall, with the client supplying the materials. Full-service pricing includes both the labor and the cost of all necessary materials, such as drywall sheets, tape, mud, and fasteners. Be clear in your bid which approach you are taking.
The average cost to install drywall in Georgia, including materials and labor, runs between $1.50 and $3 per square foot. This can equate to about $60 to $90 per drywall panel, depending on factors like thickness, type, and project specifics.
Yes, absolutely. Specialized drywall types like moisture-resistant (greenboard), fire-rated (Type X), or soundproof drywall have higher material costs and may require more specific handling or installation techniques. These factors should be reflected in a higher per-square-foot rate, typically aligning with the mid-range or premium tiers ($1.50–$3 per sq ft).
A Level 5 finish is the highest standard of drywall finishing, where the entire surface of the drywall is skim-coated with a thin layer of joint compound to create a uniform, smooth surface. It virtually eliminates minor imperfections and provides the best base for paint, especially in areas with critical lighting. This level of finish requires significantly more labor and material for skim-coating and sanding, making it the most expensive option, often fitting into the premium tier ($2.70–$3 per sq ft).
