    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are drywall finishing levels?
    Levels range from 0 (no finishing) to 5 (perfect smooth walls for high-gloss paint). Most residential work is Level 4. Our template explains each level so clients can make informed choices about quality and cost.
    How do I price drywall by the sheet vs. square foot?
    Both methods work—square footage is easier for clients to understand. A standard 4x8 sheet covers 32 sq ft. Include waste (5-10%) and remember that 4x12 sheets reduce seams but cost more.
