Prices for drywall installation vary depending on how large your project is and how complex it is. There are some circumstances where you might have to pay more, such as if you need a particular finish or an open floor plan.
Cost to drywall 1200 sq ft house
A standard project will cost around $1-$3 per square feet to install drywall. This includes the mud and tape as well as finishing. Framing, which costs about $45-60 per frame, can also be added on to the drywall price.
A 2000 sq. ft house will need a higher cost of drywall than a house with 1500 sq. ft because the drywall has to be thicker. The cheapest drywall material is 3/8'', which can cost $10 to $20 a sheet, while 5/8'' and 1
2'' will cost you more
The price of drywall will depend on the thickness of the texture and the type of texture you select for the final product. A light spray texture costs approximately $0.50 to 1 per square ft, while a more heavy texture costs around $1 to 2 per square ft.
Although DIY drywall can be cheaper than buying it, you should still be cautious. You'll likely end up spending more if you don't have enough experience or expertise to do the job right.

Are you sure that this is something you want to do? If you're planning on embarking on major home improvement projects like renovating your kitchen, bathroom, or building a brand new house, it's certain that you'll need to have some assistance. However, if you feel unsure about your ability to complete such a big task by yourself, you might consider hiring someone to help you. This could cost you a lot of money and time, and you may not get any real benefit from it. Instead, hire someone who has experience in this field to assist you. They will help you save time and stress and still give you a beautiful home to live in.

What amount should I spend on a renovation project? This might sound obvious, but spending too much money on a renovation could lead to more problems. It's because you'll most likely be responsible for paying back the majority of the costs. If you have a budget in place, stick with it. Without it, you may end up paying a lot but not getting anything back.

Do I choose to hire professionals or DIY? - There is no right or incorrect answer. However, we recommend hiring professional tradespeople when you can afford them. Their advice will be invaluable in helping you decide how to proceed. They will install the plumbing correctly, take care of safety, and offer a guarantee after they have finished their work. DIY projects can be frustrating because they require a lot more trial and error. This means that you will have to learn many lessons from the experience. Plus, you'll have to deal with all sorts of problems that arise during the process.

What are my options? - Do not underestimate how expensive a renovation project will cost. Even if the project seems manageable, it could prove costly and you will need to borrow money. When you want to sell your existing property quickly after the renovations are complete, you will need to account for the price of selling it.

Where do I start? There is no wrong or right place to start when it comes time to choose where to begin. We suggest you choose something you like to do. It will motivate you to work harder and reduce procrastination. Also, try to avoid places that require a lot of maintenance. You should avoid redecorating your living room if it is always covered in dirt and dust.
