How We Price Drywall Work

Project type sets the base rate. Full installation (hang + finish) runs more than taping-only or ceiling removal because it includes more labour and materials.

Finish level moves the number. Level 5 (full skim coat) adds 25–40% over Level 4. Required for raking light, gloss paint, and accent walls.

Material upgrades add cost. Moisture-resistant (Green/Purple Board) and fire-rated (Type X) panels cost more per sheet and take slightly longer to handle.

Ceiling height and access matter. The estimator uses flat-rate averages. Vaulted ceilings, stairwells, and condo elevator logistics are quoted on-site.

Typical Project Ranges (GTA)

Single room (drywall + finish) $500–$1,500
Basement 1,000 sq ft $3,000–$6,000
Full-home renovation $8,000–$25,000+
Popcorn removal (1,000 sq ft) $2,000–$4,000
