Drywall installation work we do in Potter Greens

Potter Greens homeowners finishing new development basements call us to do the boarding before the taping crew. We hang ceiling board first, wall board second, with moisture-resistant on exterior foundation walls and any wall adjacent to plumbing rough-in.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Potter Greens?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Potter Greens

The cost of drywall installation in Potter Greens comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaulted ceilings, bulkheads and soffits add time), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing Potter Greens trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.
