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 corner bead is a rigid strip made of metal or vinyl that we install on the outside edges of your walls. It protects the corners from bumps and chips while giving you a perfectly straight, sharp edge. You need this whenever two walls come together at an outside corner. It makes the corner much more durable and gives the room a crisp, professional architectural look that is much harder to achieve with just mud and tape.
