Last updated: September 24, 2026
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
Drywall tape is the thin strip of paper or mesh applied over the joints between sheets to prevent cracks from forming later. It acts as a bridge that holds the drywall mud together. You need this whenever two pieces of drywall meet. Without it, your walls would eventually develop visible cracks at the seams as the house settles. It is a critical step in ensuring your walls remain durable and smooth for years to come.
Frequently asked in Sunnyvale

How do I fix small holes in my drywall?
For small holes in Sunnyvale drywall, spackling is usually the way to go. You'll want to fill the hole with spackle, let it dry, and then sand it smooth.

What is sheetrock and how is it used?

The main difference between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch drywall is thickness and strength. 5/8 inch is thicker, offering better fire resistance and sound dampening.
