Sounds like a slammin' deal. Better jump on it before they get busy.
When I started in this working world, the price was 4.
I tried to do some once for ten and couldn't make wages
That was twenty years ago too
only way to know for sure is to get another price from someone. Here, it can range from 1.50 to 3 per foot including the materials depending on time of yeaar and job situation.
and you have a unique layout, if I remember right from the floorplan sketch I just deleted yesterday, with lots of angles upstairs
Welcome to the
Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime.
where ...
Excellence is its own reward!
You can get it done around my area for 1.00 to 1.25 SF including material. For small jobs I charge 2+. I think that your price is a bargain. DanT
Sounds pretty much in line with what's charged around here.
The fact that you've found a drywaller who's actually willing to clean up is significant. (-:

Sounds like you got a good deal... Run with it.... Less than a buck a foot...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Last summer, I paid a buck a foot for materials and labor(SoCal). They go by the square footage of the sheets they use, not the actual squarefootage of the walls/celing.
I've some heated arguements with drywaller/homeowners over the "unnecessary waste of drywall jst to get paid more money" These guys that did my work had less than 2 sheets of waste in a pile. That was for a 460 sqft "granny house" consisting of a livingroom, bedroom, closet, dining room and kitchen.
I think you got a good price, as long as they do good work
Hasbeen,
Up North (Denver) on the Townhome projects we pay about $30-$32 a sheet for turn key drywall. Materials & labor. The price of screws & bead is at an all time high, so the drywalls have been asking for more $$. I think the $30 a sheet is a fair price.
On the texture end of it have you considered a knock down texture? I think that the knock down hides more & has a better look , (IMHO) . Will you prime before texture? We don't prime on my projects ( suits our to cheap) and have had good luck so far!
Happy for you that you our close to texture. Always have liked the tail end of the project, as in after texture.
Hey Joe, he brings gifts too!
Hasbeen,
I live outside of Castle Rock. Used to be a small town,but not any more. Went to college @ Adams State in the late 70s. Lived in Alamosa for one to many a cold winter.
Doug & Imerc were up a few weeks back , spoke highly of your project. Might have to head south for some fresh air & drown a few worms. If you ever get up to the Big City let me know. Still would like to see if we could get the Colorado chapter of Bt together for a few frosty ones & chew the fat.
Yeah, that drywall dust will give you a rough, raspy voice.
Man, all you Colorado guys are making me homesick. I was born in Boulder and raised up above Colo. Spgs. in Woodland Park, just a few miles from IMERC. I worked framing all over the state but it was long, long ago. I still miss those high mountains. But anyway, all the guys out here in Idaho prime before texturing. I'm not sure of all the reasons, I'm a framer and trim carpenter, I can't know all that stuff.
