Q: What is standard drywall thickness?

• <div><p>Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is <b>1/2-inch thick</b>. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications. </p></div>

Q: How much does wall installation cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: How much drywall do I need for a 1,000-square-foot basement?

• <div><p>The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You&rsquo;ll also need enough <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-nails-vs-screws.htm">drywood nails or screws</a> to install the drywall correctly.</p></div>

Q: Is 1/2-inch drywall OK for the ceiling?

• <div><p>Yes, 1/2-inch thick drywall is commonly used for ceilings in residential construction. It provides adequate support and is easier to handle and install compared to thicker drywall sheets. Thicker drywall, such as 5/8-inch, is typically used for ceilings in commercial buildings or areas requiring additional fire resistance or soundproofing. However, for most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely accepted.</p></div>

Brett did great. He was very good about cleaning up and making sure he didn't get dust everywhere. He worked with me to make decision and took the time to explain the the different options. If we ever needed someone to drywall again we would use him.
