There is no honest single number for drywall work — but there is a short list of factors that determine the price of almost every job.
Two rooms of the same size can differ widely in cost. Understanding what drives the price helps you compare estimates and ask the right questions.
A per-sheet or per-square-foot number sounds simple but hides the real cost drivers: corners, openings, ceiling work, finish level and drying time between coats all change the labour involved.
A small bathroom with moisture-resistant board, a fan duct and a high finish can cost more per sheet than a large open basement.
Repairs are priced differently from new work. A patch needs backing, tape and several coats with drying time, so several small repairs can still mean multiple visits.
Grouping repairs into one visit is usually more economical than calling them in one at a time.
Photos and rough measurements let us give a meaningful estimate rather than a generic range. A written scope — what is included, what is excluded — is the only fair way to compare two quotes.
Estimates from Drywall Ottawa are free and do not commit you to anything.
Clear expectations. A considered plan.
A finish that brings the room together.
Call or use the enquiry form. Share the address or community, the rooms involved, photos and approximate measurements.
Confirm the walls and ceilings, board type, finish level, protection, access and what is excluded, such as painting or disposal.
Board is hung or damaged sections are repaired, then joints and fasteners are taped and finished in stages with drying time between coats.
Walk the space together, check the surface under normal lighting and confirm any remaining items before the job is closed.

It depends on area, ceiling height, board type, finish level and access. Share photos and measurements for a free, project-specific estimate.
Scope differences: finish level, protection, disposal, number of coats and what is excluded. Compare written scopes, not just totals.
It can be. Painting is part of our service, so priming and painting can be added to the same estimate — just confirm in the written scope whether they are included.
No. Estimates are free and start a conversation about scope and timing.
