With so many homes in our area needing sheetrock, you will have to pay a premium. The material is in high demand and deliveries are made as soon as new materials are shipped in.
Expect to pay more than $80 a panel installed. In many cases, contractors are charging $100 on average.
If you plan to install the drywall yourself or even buy the materials to have someone else install, expect to pay $8 to $14 a panel for the half-inch drywall materials at retailers like Lowes or Home Depot.
To calculate the price of materials and installation, we found a helpful calculator at HOMEWYSE.COM. You plug in estimated square feet of space and it calculates it for you.
