Had a fellow come by today to look at the house I'm remodeling. Want a quote on what it will cost to hang 1/2" drywall on the ceiling and walls and get it ready to paint. I figured he would measure the rooms, but instead all he wanted to know was the sq. footage of the house. Said he would call tomorrow with the quote.
Is this the normal way to figure a quote on drywall? The house is almost 1200 sq./ft., what would be a reasonable price?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
On a normal house without high ceilings, trays, cathedrals etc... Take square footage x .08 to get a reasonably close number of boards (4'x12'). An 1150 sq.ft ranch is usually 90 boards +/-. In this area figure $45-$50/board for labor and materials including scrapping out and disposal costs. If I'm buying material, $20/board materials and $20/board labor plus I supply the dumptruck and pay landfill fees ($45/ton)
Level 5 finish add $4-$5 more. Big cut up house I figure $55/board.
