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.

How do I spackle holes in drywall?

To spackle holes in drywall, start by cleaning the area around the damage. Apply a small amount of spackle with a putty knife, pressing it into the hole. Smooth it flush with the wall surface. Let it dry completely, then sand it smooth. You might need a second coat for larger holes.

What's the standard drywall thickness?

The most common drywall thickness for residential use in St. Louis is 1/2 inch. This is used for walls and ceilings. Thicker drywall, like 5/8 inch, is often used for fire-rated walls or areas needing extra sound insulation. Thinner drywall is used for repairs or curved surfaces.

Is moisture resistant drywall a good idea?

What kind of drywall mud is used?

For most drywall jobs in St. Louis, an all-purpose joint compound is suitable. It can be used for taping seams, filling screw holes, and general repairs. For larger repairs or multiple coats, a setting-type compound might be preferred by professionals for its faster drying time.
