how-much-does-drywall-cost

If you're wondering how-much-does-drywall-cost then the answer is here. I'll give an average price per sheet cost and an average price per foot after installation, taping, and texturing.

The prices for sheetrock skyrocketed about five years ago, but have come down due to the housing crisis.

You can buy a 4x8 sheet of 5/8-inch sheetrock for around $9.00.

The cost of screws, tape, and joint compound will cost extra, but you will save a ton of money by doing your own work because the cost of labor is really high.




The price per foot of drywall jobs depends largely on location, but in these difficult times you could get a bargain bid for around 80 cents a square foot.

It adds up pretty fast when you consider the ceilings and everything. If you're in doubt about doing a quality job then it's best to hire it out because if you leave seams in the walls, they will haunt you forever.

Drywall contractors have had to really tighten their belts lately so if you plan to hire out the labor be sure to shop around.
