Pricing
LR's published 2026 ranges. Every job is quoted on site.
| Where your job lands | Per sq ft of surface | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Simple rooms | $2.50 – $3.50 | Standard 8–9′ ceilings, few corners |
| Typical home | $3.50 – $4.50 | A mix of standard and feature ceilings, bulkheads, more corners |
| Complex & luxury | $4.50 – $5.50 | Coffered and curved ceilings, tall walls, Level 5 finish |
| Basements | $2.50 – $5.50+ | Can run higher: bulkheads, soffits and corners mean more taping |
| Commercial & multi-unit | $2.50 – $4.00 | Long straight partitions, Level 4 finish |
Drywall and taping together, materials included: board, compound, tape, screws and corner bead, hung, taped in three coats with drying time, and sanded. Homes $2.50–$5.50; commercial $2.50–$4.00. Per square foot of wall and ceiling surface (not floor area). Framing, insulation, primer and paint quoted separately. Your on-site quote is exact.
Rule of thumb: the drywall (material) you need is roughly your floor area × 3.5 in square feet of board. Multiply that by our rate, or simply multiply your floor area by $8.75–$19.25 ($2.50–$5.50 × 3.5). Your free site visit measures it exactly and turns it into a written price. Get your exact number →

Process
We walk the site, review drawings and scope, and send a clear written quote. No guesswork, no surprises.
Steel or wood framing and insulation installed precisely to spec: the invisible work that makes flawless walls possible.
Boards hung and screwed, then three coats of compound with proper drying time between every coat. We don't rush this stage.
Sanded and checked under raking light, then a final walkthrough. The job isn't done until every surface passes.

Straight answers
If something is holding you back, it's probably one of these. Still unsure? Call Luiz directly: (647) 680-6655.
Get my free quote →Very low drywall quotes usually mean thinner board, fewer coats or skipped sanding, and redoing drywall after paint costs far more than doing it right once. Our written quote lists board type, coats and finish level so you can compare line by line.
You get an itemised, written quote after a free site visit, with exactly what's included before any work starts. Ballpark: $2.50–$5.50 per sq ft of wall and ceiling surface, installed.
Real numbers: a basement's drywall takes 8–12 working days, a main floor 10–15. You get a written schedule. Drying time between coats can't be rushed, and we won't rush it.
