What Factors Affect the Cost of Drywall Services?


Something that sometimes prevents people from hiring professional sheetrock contractors is the price, as they tend to think that installing drywall is too easy to pay someone else to do it. However, our services feature highly competitive prices, which are sure to fall within your budget.


Nonetheless, estimating your drywall installation cost involves several aspects, such as the following:


Square Footage


All drywall projects are measured according to the square footage of the wall, which is why it is the first thing you must be aware of before asking for an estimate. Drywall sheets follow a standardized size, so they must be cut and adapted to your walls if they don't fit perfectly.


In those cases, the project's price may increase, as we need to spend more time and effort customizing each sheet. Moreover, most drywall companies in the industry have a default price that's calculated based on how many square feet of drywall they are going to be using.


In addition, remember that the cost of drywalling a basement is always going to be slightly higher.


Drywall Type


There are several types of drywall you can choose from depending on your needs. Some of the most popular are the following.


Regular drywall is usually the most commonly used in houses and is the cheapest one.

Mold-resistant drywall is also called green board, and it offers extra thickness and moisture resistance.

Plasterboard is also called blue board, and it consists of a thin protective layer that's commonly used as a base for the actual drywall.

Soundproof drywall is excellent for small apartments that need extra thickness on their walls.

Fire-resistant drywall is made of fiberglass that absorbs all volatile chemicals and prevents the walls from catching fire.


Drywall Finishes


Another huge factor that affects your drywall quote is its finish level, as each of them has a different cost. Moreover, drywall finishes can be classified into the following categories.


  • Level Zero: This drywall finish leaves all joints and fasteners exposed without any finish on top of it.
  • Level One: On this level, the contractors may cover the seams with tape and apply a thin compound layer.
  • Level Two: This level is pretty similar to the previous one, but in this case, the entire wall gets covered with joint compound.
  • Level Three: On this level, a second layer of compound gets added to the wall.
  • Level Four: This level prepares the wall for painting by applying a third coat of compound and a light texture.
  • Level Five: The final level of finishing consists of applying a skim coat, which prevents the walls or ceiling from falling apart due to moisture.


Removal of Old Drywall


If you need to remove your old drywall before installing the new one, this is going to slightly increase the drywall installation cost. Keep in mind that this is an extremely dangerous part of the project, which is why the contractors must be extra careful not to destroy or damage your electrical outlets, plumbing, or wiring, as these items are incredibly costly to replace.


Asbestos Removal


Another thing to remember is that if you live in an older house, its walls are likely to contain asbestos, especially if you've never replaced the original walls. This toxic material was trendy in the 80s as one of the main ingredients for plasterboard walls and ceilings. However, it would cause severe damage and illnesses to the people who lived in houses with this type of drywall. Therefore, your drywall repair cost may increase if you need to remove your old asbestos plasterboard.

Why Shouldn't You DIY Your Drywall?


There are hundreds of online tutorials that claim to teach you how to install your drywall by yourself. However, these projects are complicated to do, especially if you've never done anything similar before, as you could waste much more money than you originally intended to.


Therefore, the best thing you can do is hire a drywall handyman who can take care of the project. However, if you're still not convinced that DIYing this project may be a bad idea, check out the following common mistakes inexperienced DIYers tend to make:


Over-sanding


One of the most crucial steps of installing drywall is the sanding process, as it ensures your wall is completely smooth so that the drywall sheets can easily stick to it. However, many DIYers aren't aware of the proper technique for sanding walls, so they end up over-sanding them, which can cause them to turn weak and break.


Expert contractors know precisely when they should stop sanding and the correct techniques to avoid bumps and rises on the walls.


Screws Are Driven Too Deep


Another common problem among DIYers is driving the screws too deep into the wall, as they can easily break the paper layer of the plasterboard and make it completely useless. This also prevents the screw from properly holding the drywall layers, so you are going to have to redo the whole process.


Experts can prevent these situations by calculating the exact turns they need to make to properly place the screw and avoid tearing the paper layer of the wall.


Drywall Joints Are Too Tight


Most DIYers believe that drywall joints must be as tight as possible, but this is not true. If you tighten your joints more than necessary, your drywall can suddenly break as it doesn't have any space for expanding and contracting. Moreover, this mistake is nearly impossible to fix, so the entire wall must be taken down and reinstalled.


However, an experienced contractor knows how to properly tighten drywall joints, leaving the necessary space for the rest of the materials and the natural development of the drywall.


Failed Joints


Finally, the last common mistake DIYers tend to make when installing drywall is failing to set up the joints. In order for joints to be correctly installed, both panels should overlap so that you can safely screw down the edges.


However, a failed or hanging joint happens when a seam between the panels falls into nothing, which is going to ultimately make everything fall apart. This can be avoided by supporting the joints with studs every 16 inches.

Benefits of Hiring a Drywall Contractor 


Now that you know why trying to install your own drywalls is a bad idea, you must also know everything that drywall installation companies can do for you. Therefore, we gathered the following list of benefits you are going to get when hiring a professional contractor. 

Proper Preparation Before Doing the Work 

 

Nobody should start any project without proper planning and preparation. Luckily for you, professional contractors know this, and they're sure to examine the wall they're going to be working on to prepare all tools and materials needed for the job. 

 

Moreover, they are sure to pack more materials than needed to solve any problems during the installation process. Analyzing the risks is a crucial part of project planning, as it prevents us from losing valuable time and money. 

 

Save Time and Effort 

 

Managing a drywall project is highly stressful, as you are going to have to deal with several responsibilities and tasks that you're not familiar with. Professional sheetrock contractors can take this weight off your shoulders and finish your project faster and more efficiently. 

 

Moreover, they already have all the needed tools and materials to finish the project, so all you have to do is sit back and relax while they do everything, including cleaning up the trash after they're done. 

 

Tools, Equipment, and Materials 

 

You can also forget about having to buy expensive equipment or materials, as drywall construction companies already have everything they need to execute the project. This can help you save a lot of money, as it is highly unlikely for you to use those specific tools on a similar project ever again. Moreover, DIYers sometimes buy the wrong tools and materials, but professional contractors know what tools they should use in all steps of the project. 

They Have a Vast Experience 

 

Our team of professionals go through extensive training before being able to work for Alpha Drywall Phoenix. They do this by taking several courses and even apprenticeships with other experts. Moreover, they also need to meet several requirements to acquire a license. 

 

Therefore, you can be certain that all contractors you hire have gone through several years of learning to install drywall. They know everything that can go wrong and several ways of fixing those problems. 


More Safety 

 

Installing drywall by yourself can make you vulnerable to several risks, such as pieces falling and breaking things or hurting you. Therefore, hiring a sheetrock company to avoid these risks is extremely important, especially if you need to install drywall in high places. 

 

Moreover, they are also going to make sure the drywall is properly installed so that it doesn't fall apart once they leave, which allows you to be as safe as possible and prevent potentially accidents. 

Things You Should Know Before Hiring a Drywall Company 


Hiring an experienced sheetrock company is the best thing you can do to build the home of your dreams. However, several companies out there aren't going to meet your expectations, so you must make sure to do thorough research before committing to one. 

 

Nonetheless, we know that identifying which company is best for you can be hard, but all you have to do is keep an eye on the following aspects. 

 

Assess the Project

 

You need to understand everything that needs to be done for your drywall project, as this is going to help you find a company that specializes in that specific area. Perhaps you need fire-resistant drywall, or you may be working on a larger project than usual. Knowing all of this is crucial so that the company can tell you whether they can help you or not. 

 

Do the Research

 

Now it is time to get handy and start searching for the best drywall companies around you. Once you come up with a list, you must check as many reviews and interview as many customers as possible to narrow it down to fewer options. 

 

Sometimes this step can be a bit difficult, but you can start by asking your friends and family about it. Moreover, there are hundreds of online reviews for these companies that you can check out. 

 

Ask Questions to Potential Contractors

 

In order to execute this step, you need to have a couple of selected companies. It is going to make it much easier for you, as you aren't going to have to deal with as many people. All you have to do is contact these companies and have a chat with them in which you can ask them about their previous experience, costs, and other relevant information for your project. If they're a reliable company, they shouldn't have any problem with these questions. 

 

Skills and Experience 

 

Please don't try to save money by hiring plastering contractors without enough professional experience, as this can cost you much more later on. Contractors without the needed experience are more likely to make mistakes during the installation process, which are then going to have to be taken care of by someone else. 

 

Therefore, please do yourself a favor and hire local drywall contractors with several years on the market that can prove that they have been properly trained to do their job. 

 

Licensing and Insurance

 

Finally, the last thing you need to make sure of is that the company can legally provide drywall construction services. You can do this by asking the contractors about their licenses and whether they provide insurance or not, as this is going to help you stay protected against any problem that may arise.

The drywall industry is highly versatile, so we must be equally as flexible. Therefore, we can adapt to any budget and schedule you're most comfortable with. Moreover, if you're not sure whether we can help you or not with your project, please give us a call, and let's figure it out together.


Keep reading to learn more about our most popular services!

Drywall Installation



Our main service is quick and efficient drywall installation. We make sure your walls and ceilings are perfectly installed so that you can enjoy a clean and seamless look. Moreover, having plasterboard walls is a fantastic choice as it is one of the most commonly used materials in the United States due to its versatility and durability, as well as how easy it can be fixed.


Nonetheless, sheetrock installation is a difficult job. Several steps need to be correctly done to make sure all walls are sturdy enough to last for years. Therefore, you should highly consider hiring our professional custom drywall installation contractors so we can create the home of your dreams and install your new drywall as quickly as possible.

Drywall Repair


Drywall repair is one of the most important services we offer, as most houses and apartments in America are made of drywall. It is a highly versatile material that can be fixed. However, it is also common for drywall structures to get damaged over time, so you must be aware of any crack, dent, or hole that could compromise the wall's integrity. 


Luckily for you, drywall repair services consist of fixing these problems with a bit of extra compound or drywall patch tape. However, other types of damage are much more severe and are going to need much more time and effort to fix, such as water and insect damage, as it is likely that you are going to need to change the plumbing and call an exterminator.


Moreover, drywall patch contractors need to be aware of the wires and pipes behind the walls, so only drywall repair contractors should repair these problems.

Drywall Mudding


Drywall mudding is one of the final steps you must do when installing drywall, and it is going to make sure it is properly finished depending on the finish level your wall requires. However, taping and mudding drywall requires following several steps, including going through many layers of drywall compound to make sure the drywall is thick enough to last for as much as possible. Moreover, you need to properly understand how drywall mud behaves and how long it takes to dry so that you can sand it down before applying the next layer.


Therefore, if you want to have a smooth and seamless wall, the best thing you can do is hire specialized contractors from a drywall mudding company. This way, mudding drywall may become much easier than you expected.

Drywall Taping


Drywall taping is another crucial step you need to make to finish your drywall project, as it consists of using a rugged drywall taper to cover all the seams on the wall. However, there are several types of drywall tape, and each of them offers different benefits to your wall, so you must understand which one is the best for your project.


Nonetheless, keep in mind that several drywall tapes aren't suitable for these projects, and the best types are going to need to be stuck in place with joint compound. Please stay away from self-stick tapes, as they aren't as durable as they need to be for taping drywall corners and keeping everything in place, and they can't be mixed with compound. 


Still, to avoid this hassle, you can call us up and let our contractors take care of taping your drywall.

Drywall Finishing


Although installing drywall can be a pretty straightforward process, finishing it is the real challenge. Drywall finishing is the step of the project in which all seams and bumps must be covered with tape and compound. That's why this process is also commonly called taping and mudding. 


You must apply the right amount of mud to easily sand the drywall. This is going to make it look smooth and remove all cracks and bumps. Moreover, this step is crucial if you want to paint or apply Santa Fe texture to your walls, which is why you must always make sure to hire sheetrock specialists who can provide a seamless result that can last for years without taking damage.


Moreover, there are several levels of wall finishing that must be used depending on your specific needs, and only an experienced drywall finisher contractor can quickly identify which one is the most suitable.

Drywall Framing


Drywall framing is the first thing that needs to be done before starting the installation process, as it consists of assembling the base where the drywall layers are going to be placed by the drywall framers.


Most walls are commonly framed by two horizontal plates placed along their entire length and several studs joining them together. This creates a sturdy framework for the drywall panels. Moreover, additional elements such as lintel and noggings can also be added to make the structure much sturdier.


This process needs to be correctly done, as it is the base for the rest of the drywall, and if a piece isn't properly placed, you could end up ruining the entire project. Therefore, we highly recommend hiring one of our excellent drywall framing contractors.

Wall Texture


Drywall texture is a very stylish way of decorating your rooms. Sometimes people gravitate toward painting their walls because there is a much wider variety of colors. Still, the truth is that texturing your walls can add a lot of personality to any room, which can't be achieved with colors. Moreover, Venetian plaster wall texture is an excellent way of hiding imperfections in your walls, which can't be done with flat finishes that require a higher level of perfection. This way, you can save some money on repairs like scratches and dents because it won’t be as visible on a textured wall. 

 

However, wall texturing requires expertise, so we highly encourage you to check out our great wall texturing services in textured ceilings and knock-down ceilings. 

Ceiling Repair


Although drywall is one of the most resistant materials you can use for your walls and ceilings, it can get damaged over time due to several reasons. Some of the most common are roof truss uplift, water leaks, faulty workmanship, and even the regular setting of the house. Therefore, you're going to need to find a drywall ceiling repair contractor to fix these damages.


Even if you have a complicated textured and water-damaged ceiling, a stucco ceiling repair expert can quickly fix these damages. Therefore, if you find any cracks, dents, or moisture spots in your roof, the best thing you can do is assess the situation and call us to get a free estimate for repairing your stipple ceiling.


Remember that although you can throw some drywall mixture to cover the crack and call it a day, only a professional ceiling crack repair contractor is going to be able to identify the source of the problem so that it doesn't happen again.

Drywall Removal


It is common to believe that drywall removal involves banging a sledgehammer into the wall. Reality TV shows popularized this idea, but the truth is that this method is extremely dangerous for the house and everyone else involved, as it is super easy to destroy a pipe or hit someone else with the hammer when tearing down the drywall. 

 

Therefore, we recommend you stay away from this drywall demolition method and remove your drywall piece by piece. However, this is a much more complicated process, which is why you should call properly trained contractors who know which steps should be taken when removing your drywall. 

 

Moreover, they may also take care of the disposal of the drywall so that you don't have to worry about dangerous pieces laying around your living room. 

Popcorn Ceiling Removal 


Popcorn ceilings with asbestos used to be extremely popular back in the day, but today they are one of the most unappealing ceiling textures you can have. They are also called acoustic, stucco, and cottage cheese ceiling, but none of these names change the fact that they are terrible to look at. 

 

Supposedly, these ceilings were installed to cover imperfections and absorb sound so that neighbors wouldn't complain about the noise being made in the room. However, these benefits aren't good enough to make up for all of the drawbacks. 

 

Installing drywall over popcorn ceilings may be what you are looking for, as these acoustic ceilings are extremely hard to paint and clean due to their irregular texture, which traps all the dust and makes it nearly impossible to get rid of it. Therefore, many people choose to remove these ceilings instead of opting for a popcorn ceiling repair. Our team of contractors is ready to help you with getting rid of your popcorn ceiling. 

Basement Renovation & Finishing


Basement renovations consist of completely changing the current drywall and replacing it with newer and more suitable pieces. Perhaps you need to reduce the noise or prevent your wall from catching dampness. In that case, our basement contractors can choose the adequate drywall for you and finish the basement remodeling project in as little time as possible. 

 

Moreover, basement finishing includes mudding and taping all the walls and ceiling so that the drywall stays firm for a long time without taking damage. In addition, we must also sand everything out and clean the mess so that you can enjoy a sleek and seamless basement.
