What Drives Your Drywall Quote
Five factors set the price of any Greenville drywall project: square footage of walls and ceilings; finish level (Level 4 standard, Level 5 skim coat for raking light or dark paint); ceiling height (anything over 9 feet adds 15–25%); access (second-story, basement, vaulted ceilings); and texture (smooth, knockdown, orange peel, or hand-applied). We walk every job to confirm these before writing a quote.
Materials typically represent 35–45% of a typical Greenville drywall project. A standard 4x8 sheet of 1/2" drywall runs $14–$18 in our market; 5/8" Type X (required for garages) runs $18–$22. Add tape, mud, screws, corner bead, and primer, and a typical 2,500 sq ft home consumes about $2,800–$3,500 in materials.
Labor is the rest. Hanging on standard 8-foot walls runs about $0.40–$0.60 per square foot of board, finishing $0.70–$1.20, plus texturing, prime, and cleanup. We pay our crews above-market wages because consistent quality requires consistent crews — that's reflected in pricing, but it's also why our work doesn't have to be redone.
How Our Pricing Compares
Drywall Greenville sits in the middle of the Upstate market — we're not the cheapest, and we're not the most expensive. Cheap drywall bids in our market typically reflect either unlicensed labor, no insurance coverage, or a finish level (Level 2 or 3) inappropriate for residential work. The most expensive bids usually reflect overhead structures that don't add value to your wall. We aim to deliver high-end finish quality at fair, transparent pricing.
Payment & Financing
We accept cash, check, all major credit cards, and ACH. Standard payment terms are 25% deposit on jobs over $2,000, with the balance due on completion. For projects over $2,500 we partner with Hearth and Synchrony to offer home improvement financing with terms up to 84 months.
