Longer sheets mean fewer joints to tape, but are harder to move through tight hallways.

Estimated range

$900 – $2,000

Typical Florida pricing, installed.

Walls (380 sq. ft.)
$550–$1,300
Ceiling (168 sq. ft.)
$350–$650

548 sq. ft. of board

About 19 sheets of 4 × 8 ft drywall, including 10% for waste and offcuts.

This is a preliminary estimate for budgeting, not a contractor quotation.

Contractors may quote per sheet, per square foot, by the hour or as a lump sum. Small jobs usually carry a minimum charge. After water damage, fix the leak and check for mold first.
