What affects the price
When you get a quote for drywall work, the final number depends on a few specific things. The size of the area matters, but the condition of your existing walls is just as important. If there is significant water damage, mold, or old layers that need removal, that adds labor time. Ceiling height and access also play a role, as harder-to-reach spots require extra equipment. The type of finish you want—smooth versus textured—changes the material needs and hours spent sanding. Every space is unique, so exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Texture is a decorative coating applied to the surface to hide imperfections or provide a specific design style, like orange peel or knockdown. It is often used to mask minor variations in the mudding work. You need this if you want to match existing wall patterns or add character to a room. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in High Point
What are drywall corners?
Drywall corners refer to the angles created where two walls meet or where a wall meets a ceiling. Both inside and outside corners need special attention during drywall installation and finishing. For outside corners, corner bead is applied for protection and a clean line. Inside corners are typically taped and filled with joint compound to create a smooth transition. Pros ensure these corners are sharp and durable.
What is a drywall patch?
A drywall patch is a piece of material used to cover holes in drywall. For small holes, a self-adhesive mesh patch is often used, providing a surface for joint compound. For larger holes, a piece of new drywall cut to size is typically used. The patch is then secured, and joint compound is applied over it in multiple layers, sanded smooth to blend with the wall.
What is fire-resistant drywall?
Fire-resistant drywall, often called Type X, is designed to offer enhanced protection against fire. It contains additives that slow the spread of flames and heat. This type of drywall is crucial for meeting building codes in certain areas of homes in High Point, especially in garages or between living spaces. It provides an extra layer of safety for your family and property.
What's the average price for drywall installation?
What is drywall corner bead?
Drywall corner bead is a metal or vinyl strip installed along outside corners of drywall. It provides a rigid edge that protects the corner from damage and creates a clean, straight line. The bead is then covered with joint compound, creating a smooth, durable finish. It's essential for achieving sharp, professional-looking corners on walls and ceilings.
How do I patch a hole in drywall?
Patching a hole in drywall involves cleaning the area, applying a patch (which could be a self-adhesive mesh or a piece of new drywall), and then covering it with multiple layers of joint compound. Each layer is sanded smooth before the next is applied. The final step is sanding until the patch is invisible and blends perfectly with the surrounding wall. Pros in High Point make this look easy.
