Is drywall really the best way to go for my home?

Drywall is often the most affordable building material on the market. It’s far more cost effective than traditional plaster, which requires a tedious installation. Plus, it’s very easy to paint and offers up a world of possibilities in that way! Lastly, due to the way in which drywall is made with gypsum, it’s very durable and can last for literally decades with minimal issues.

Has drywall changed at all over the years? It’s been a while since I’ve had any drywall work done around my home.

Technology and home building materials is an ever-changing thing. Since older homes are more susceptible to mold and water damage, it’s important to tend to drywall repair needs when they occur. The latest innovations in the field have provided stronger and sturdier drywall that is both water and fire resistant, ensuring that your home will be safe and solid for years to come!

Is it better to repair or replace drywall?

Replacement is usually the best option in case of a large hole or a serious problem such as a mold infestation where the spores may have spread throughout the drywall. Keep in mind to clean up the source of that mold too, otherwise, you’ll just have more damaged drywall.

Do painters do drywall repair?

It is better to have drywall repairs done by painters than by a drywall repairer. The good news is, painters are now skilled in repairing drywall. Therefore, you can hire a drywall repairer to fix the drywall and a painter to paint that drywall.

1. How much does drywall installation and repair cost?

The drywall, however, is usually only visible when a problem occurs with it. When it comes to the drywall installation and repair process it should only be handled by a professional team. Before you hire one, here are some factors that you need to consider for estimation of drywall repair and installation cost. The total depends on size and complexity of the job. 

Costs vary from job to job, based on the complexity and size of the job. A non-standard-shaped room such as an arched one is easier to redesign than a typical rectangle room. When you ask for an estimate, make sure you take these factors into consideration:

• • Details of the panels, specifying the sizes and types.
• • The time needed to set up and mobilize labor.
• • Prepare and protect existing structures and finishes.
• • Delivering the supplies and equipment to the worksite.
• • Removing debris and cleaning up.

3. What could affect the price of drywall repair and installation?

• • Difficulty to reach (strange corners that require special machinery to get to).

• • How soon you want it done, and how fast you need it done. Consider that if you’re in a rush and your painting company has a busy week they might need to pay for extra hours or even move or cancel a job, and that could increase the price. 

• • Tied to the previous point, if you have a flexible schedule you can take advantage of a low season like the end of winter or the end of summer to get it done probably at a better rate.

• • The size of the job. The more work you give to your painting company, the lower the per-unit cost. How does this make sense? Well, some materials are cheaper by volume but also, moving around less or spending more time at one job decreases all the logistics and prep work. 

• • Number of colours: if you can keep it to 5 colours or under, you will not see a price increase. The reason? there’s less difficulty to do the job and less paint or stain waste.

• • Different types of paint can increase the cost. We use Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore paint so you can rest assured you’re well covered. Nevertheless, if you want something very specific or ultra-premium that can potentially increase the price. 

• • Payment terms i.e. Visa vs e-transfer. A lot of clients like to use their credit cards for many reasons, however, these payments come with a  fee that increases the overall price. 

• • The amount of preparation involved. i.e. isolating to avoid painting undesired areas (i.e removing plants, covering and taping). We normally don’t move your furniture and personal belongings so if you need help with that we can do it but it will add more time to the process and will increase the bill. (TIP: we can help on the spot to move some really large furniture, so don’t get hurt trying to do that and as long as it’s a fast move we’ll just do it for you!) 

• • Heights: we need to bring scaffolding and assembling and disassembling will add time, thus increasing the price.
