Common questions about drywall services, costs, and timelines in Denver and the surrounding area

New drywall installation typically runs $1.50–$3.50 per square foot installed, including materials and labor. A standard 12×12 bedroom runs $600–$1,600 depending on ceiling height and finish level. We offer free on-site estimates.

Small patch repairs (under 6 inches) start around $150. Larger repairs or full panel replacements range from $300–$800. We charge by the job, not the hour, so you always know your cost upfront.
