Solve Drywall Estimation Challenges with Our Professional Help
We understand the challenges you face in your business. That is why we have tailored our drywall estimating services to help you. Here is how our estimates will help you overcome common challenges.
Boost Bid-Winning Ratio Up To 96%
The pricing of drywall materials keeps fluctuating due to supply chain issues and market demand. For instance, drywall sheet prices can vary by 10-15% depending on region and time of year. For your estimates to be accurate, you need the current pricing along with historical data to predict the actual costs. Our estimating experts keep our local pricing data updated so you don’t have to search for the right data yourself.
Save Your Time
As a contractor, you face continuous pressure to meet tight bid deadlines. Research shows that contractors spend an average of 3-5 days per project just on estimating. Being busy with managing projects, you rarely have the time required to calculate accurate estimates yourself. With our support, you can stop wasting hours and energy on estimating.
Avoid Spending on Estimating Tools
Preparing drywall estimates accurately without access to the right tools is challenging. Estimating tools can cost between $1,700 to $3,000 annually. Additionally, the complexity of drywall manual calculations like sheet size (commonly 4×8 feet or 4×12 feet) and thickness (ranging from 1/4 to 5/8 inches), can increase the chances of errors. Do not spend on advanced estimating technology when we have your back. We have all the right tools you need to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
Reliable Access to Updated Pricing Databases
The pricing of drywall materials keeps fluctuating due to supply chain issues and market demand. For instance, drywall sheet prices can vary by 10-15% depending on region and time of year.

Our estimating experts keep our local pricing data updated so you don’t have to search for the right data yourself.

Drywall Repair Estimates
For residential and commercial projects involving drywall repairs, our bid estimate provides detailed cost breakdowns that consider the scope of damage, the type of drywall, and the complexity of the repair. We calculate the total length and costs based on industry-standard methods, including patching, re-taping, and re-texturing. We ensure compliance with GA-214 guidelines for gypsum board finish levels. Our drywall estimates also factor in the labor-intensive nature of repairs.
Drywall Finishing Cost Estimates
Under drywall finishing cost estimation, we evaluate finishing stages, from taping and mudding to sanding and texturing. We provide precise cost assessments based on finish levels 0 through 5 as per ASTM C840 and GA-214 standards. By considering factors such as the type of texture (e.g., smooth, knockdown, orange peel) and the total number of coats required, we ensure that our estimates reflect the true cost of achieving the desired finish quality.

We focus on the needs of general contractors and subcontractors who require accurate and competitive bids. We offer detailed material takeoffs and labor cost projections by focusing on compliance with project specifications.

Drywall Takeoffs Service for Construction Projects
Drywall is an essential part of residential and commercial unit construction. This construction material, also known as plasterboard or wallboard, is used to create interior walls and ceilings. Its composition comprises a gypsum core sandwiched between two sheets of heavy paper or fiberglass matting.
80-90% of all interior walls in U.S. residential and commercial construction utilize drywall. That’s why our residential and commercial drywall estimating service includes detailed material estimations covering everything from drywall type to specific installation requirements, ensuring that your project stays on schedule and within budget.
We Helped Contractor in Winning a $2 Million Drywall Project of Office
Premier Drywall was invited to bid on a $1.2 million commercial office renovation project in downtown Los Angeles. The project included extensive drywall work, fire-rated assemblies, and high-level finishes. The client came to us with tight bid deadlines and the challenge of balancing ongoing projects and wanted us to ensure an accurate and competitive bid.
Our estimators immediately began a thorough review of the project’s blueprints and specifications, focusing on all elements, such as wall and ceiling area assemblies, sound attenuation requirements, and specialty finishes. We used BlueBeam and PlanSwift for detailed material takeoffs, including quantities for gypsum board, metal framing, insulation, and finishing materials. We also incorporated local union labor rates and productivity factors specific to commercial renovations.
Finally, we delivered a detailed bid package that accounted for all project variables, enabling the Premier Drywall contractor to submit a proposal. We also provided valuable insights during the negotiation phase and helped the contractor justify their pricing.
A few days later, Premier Drywall was awarded the $1.2 million contract. Drywall-Estimating’s accurate estimates and strategic approach contributed to winning the bid and positioned them to execute the project efficiently and profitably.
