What does drywall installation cost per square foot?+
Drywall installation in Cincinnati typically ranges $1.80–$3.50 per square foot depending on complexity, finish level, and site conditions. Level 5 (photo-ready) finish costs more than standard Level 4. Commercial projects may have different pricing due to scale and fire-rating requirements.
How long does full drywall installation take?+
A typical room (12x14) takes about 3–5 days from hanging to finished surface ready for paint. This includes hanging, taping, applying 3 coats of compound with proper drying time, sanding, and texturing. Larger projects like basements can take 1–3 weeks depending on scope.
Do you install fire-rated drywall?+
Yes, we install Type X and Type C fire-rated drywall for garages, utility rooms, commercial spaces, and any area requiring fire separation. All installations meet local building codes and pass inspection.
Should I install drywall before or after flooring?+
Standard practice is to install drywall before hard flooring but after rough-in trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC). This allows baseboards to sit cleanly on top of flooring while protecting wall surfaces during other work. We coordinate timing with your project schedule.
Do you offer basement drywall packages?+
Yes! Basement finishing is one of our core services. We offer complete drywall packages including framing inspection, vapor barrier, insulation coordination, hanging, finishing, and texture. Many homeowners combine this with ceiling options and interior painting for a turn-key solution.
