This method allows homeowners to estimate the number of sheets needed for their entire project. This will help to determine a reasonable drywall cost and ensure the homeowner does not overspend.


Because larger rooms might require more sheets, smaller rooms might need fewer. This is because there are more chances to use full sheets and scraps to fill in gaps and save materials. To ensure that sheets are properly hung, the total sheet count will not be based only on the area. It will also consider other factors like the number of corners and specialized cuts as well as ceiling cutouts.

Ceiling Difficulty and Corners

A higher ceiling will mean that you need to use more drywall. Cost of drywall can also be affected by the number of corners or specialized cuts. These factors can affect the time and labor needed to complete the project.

The cost per square foot of drywall depends on how rough the drywall is. Some contractors will texture the wall with their hands while others will use sprayers to apply the gypsum. Texturing is a time-consuming and more expensive task. To ensure you get the best service, you should view examples of their work.

It is always a good idea to purchase drywall from a local drywall supply store as opposed to the big box stores such as The Home Depot or Lowes. Large projects are often discounted because the drywall suppliers are knowledgeable about their products. It is also a good idea to have the drywall supply company prepare a quote for your drywall project, since this will allow you to budget more accurately. This is an important step to prevent costly mistakes during installation, such as buying the wrong product.
