What Drives Drywall Cost in Northern Utah
Every drywall job is priced to the work involved. Here is what moves the number, so you know what to expect — and every project gets a free, written, line-item estimate before any work begins.
Drywall Installation & Finishing
- New drywall installation: square footage of board, ceiling height, finish level, and texture — hanging, taping, and finishing are all included
- Drywall hanging only: square footage and access; board is hung with no taping or finishing
- Taping & finishing: square footage of hung board and the finish level you want
- Level 5 smooth finish: a full skim coat over the whole surface — more labor than a standard Level 4 finish
- Ceiling installation: overhead work takes more labor than walls; vaulted and tall ceilings need scaffolding
- Garage drywall: wall and ceiling area, fire-rated board where code requires it, and finish level
- Basement drywall: wall and ceiling area, soffits and ductwork to wrap, and finish level

Drywall Repair
- Nail/screw holes: how many there are and how much texture blending is needed
- Small and medium holes: hole size, whether the patch needs backing, and the texture to match
- Large holes: patch size and how wide the blend area needs to be
- Crack repair (settling/seasonal): length of the crack and whether the joint needs to be re-taped
- Ceiling repair: overhead repairs take more labor than walls; ceiling texture and height matter
- Water damage repair: how much wet board has to come out after the leak is fixed, plus re-taping and texture matching
- Full room repair/refinish: number of walls and ceilings, extent of damage, and whether painting is included
- Texture matching: matching knockdown, orange peel, skip-trowel, or hand-troweled textures by hand
