Labor Breakdown: Skilled vs. Unskilled

We separate the labor into skilled and unskilled workers. Skilled workers handle tasks like installing drywall and finishing. Unskilled workers do jobs like moving materials. This helps us figure out how much labor you need for the job.

Labor costs can change in different areas of California. For example, skilled labor costs more in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. We include this in our estimates to keep them accurate.

Cost Per Square Foot Calculations

100% Accurate estimates help you avoid mistakes and stay on schedule. We calculate drywall costs by square foot. This gives you a clear idea of the total cost. We include all costs, such as materials and labor. In places like Los Angeles and San Diego, drywall can cost $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot. Our estimates help keep your budget on track.

FAQ’s

To account for drywall waste, add about 10% extra material. This covers mistakes, cuts, and repairs. Drywall sheets need to be cut to fit around doors, windows, and corners, and some material gets wasted during installation. Adding 10% extra ensures you don’t run out of drywall. If the project has many cuts or complex designs, you may need to add more than 10%. For simpler designs, 10% is usually enough.

When estimating drywall, you subtract the area of doors and windows from the total wall or ceiling space. For example, if a door takes up 20 square feet, subtract that from the total. This helps prevent overestimating drywall. However, you still need to cover the framing around the openings, so don’t forget to measure that part. For small windows or trim, some contractors may not subtract them, but larger openings should always be accounted for.

To estimate drywall for a multi-story building, measure the walls and ceilings on each floor. Then, subtract the area for doors and windows. For each floor, calculate how many drywall sheets are needed using standard sheet sizes. Don’t forget to add extra for waste, stairways, and other openings. In multi-story buildings, you also need to plan how to deliver drywall to all floors efficiently.

The height of the ceiling also determines the amount of drywall required. The higher the ceilings, the more drywalls are required since there’s more wall space to cover. For example, on the same floor area, a 10-foot ceiling requires more drywall as compared to an 8-foot ceiling. Always look at the ceiling height for any estimation. For rooms with high or vaulted ceilings, you’ll need extra drywall. Complex ceiling designs, like textured or curved surfaces, also require more material.

To estimate drywall for an irregular room, start by measuring the walls and ceiling. If the walls are not straight, break them down into smaller sections. Measure each section’s length and height. Then, calculate the total square footage. Add up the areas of all the walls and ceilings. If there are windows or doors, subtract their area. Once you have the total square footage, divide it by 32 (the size of a standard drywall sheet, 4 x 8 feet). This tells you how many sheets you need. Be careful with any angles or curves in the walls, as they may need custom cuts or extra drywall.

Drywall finishing levels affect the cost and time of the project. There are five levels, from Level 0 (bare drywall) to Level 5 (perfectly smooth). Level 0 means no finishing, and Level 5 means the walls are highly smooth, often with multiple coats of joint compound and sanding. Most homes only need Level 1 or 2, but higher-end homes may need Level 4 or 5. Higher finishing levels take more time and labor, as well as materials like joint compound and tape. These extra costs should be included in the estimate.

Often a building has specific insulation needs, such as spray foam or fiberglass batts. The insulation affects the estimate for drywall in that it does occupy space. Sometimes this means you need less of it. Thicker insulation can sometimes require thicker drywall or energy-efficient materials. You measure the walls the same way when you estimate but remember how insulation will impact the space. It would be wise to consult experts in energy-efficient construction to ensure you use the right drywall. The final drywall count depends on the type and thickness of the insulation.

  • Measure the total area where drywall is needed.
  • Subtract areas covered by the fireplaces, like around the chimney or hearth.
  • Each fireplace might need special framing, so check if any spaces don’t need drywall.
  • If the fireplace is surrounded by brick or another material, only count drywall for the rest of the walls.
  • After measuring, calculate how many drywall sheets you need based on the area.

In places like California, there may be rules to use fire-resistant drywall around fireplaces. So, we make sure to account for that.
