What affects the price
When you get a quote for drywall work, the final number depends on a few specific things. The total square footage of the area is usually the biggest factor, but the condition of your current walls matters just as much. If there is significant water damage, mold, or complex electrical rerouting behind the panels, labor time increases. Access to the space, ceiling height, and the level of finish you want—like smooth versus textured—also play a role. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
This is the essential process of covering the joints between panels and the fastener heads with tape and joint compound. You need this after the drywall sheets are hung to create a continuous, solid wall. The tape provides strength at the seams, while the mud fills the gaps and creates a smooth transition between boards. It usually takes several layers, each requiring drying time, to get a surface that is ready for sanding and final decoration.

How is drywall tape applied by professionals?
Professionals apply drywall tape by embedding it into a wet layer of joint compound (mud) applied over drywall seams or cracks. For paper tape, they press it firmly into the compound and then immediately apply another thin layer of mud over the top, feathering the edges. For fiberglass mesh tape, it adheres itself to the wall and is then covered with mud. This ensures a strong bond and prevents future cracking.
