Re: Sheetrock

Are you asking the cost to have someone come in and do it, or to DIY?


Average sheetrock is 4'x8'. 12'x13' room = 50 linear feet of walls.

50/4 = 12.5 sheets

Add some extra for "learning".... Chat Icon

14 sheets @ $9 = $126 for materials
Add more $ for tools (tape, knives, sanding equipment, etc)

In the neighborhood of $200 to DIY


Or, here's a calculator: http://www.csgnetwork.com/drywallcalc.html

Re: Sheetrock

by yourself or someone else? I just had my bathroom and bedroom - bedroom is about 11 x 17 and bathroom is small - the total for it all is $900 - he bought the sheetrock/tape/spackle, everything and did it.

I'm not not good at it and neither is DH.

Re: Sheetrock

12x13 room plus the ceiling? The average price is around 10-14 dollars a sheet to hang and 15 dollars a board to finish it(spakle).
