We can visit your property to assess the specific scope of work, discuss your needs, and provide an accurate estimate. There are no hidden fees or surprises. Project-Based Pricing: For most drywall repair and interior painting projects, we provide a fixed, all-inclusive price based on the specific job. This allows you to know the total cost upfront, helping you budget effectively. Our pricing considers: Scope of Damage/Area: For drywall, this means the size, type, and complexity of the damage (e.g., small patch, large hole repair, water damage restoration). For painting, it's the square footage of walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Material Costs: This includes the cost of high-quality drywall materials, joint compound, tape, primer, and premium interior paints. We use professional-grade products for superior results. Labor: Our skilled technicians and painters provide efficient and meticulous work, which is factored into your quote. Preparation & Finishing: The quote covers all necessary prep work (e.g., sanding, cleaning, masking, minor caulking) and finishing touches. Factors Influencing Cost: While we offer a fixed price, certain factors can influence the overall cost of your project: Extent of Damage: Larger, more complex drywall repairs (like extensive water damage or structural issues) will naturally incur higher costs than small dings or nail pops. Surface Condition: Walls or ceilings requiring extensive preparation, multiple layers of old wallpaper removal, or significant patching beyond standard wear and tear may affect the final price. Paint Choices: While our standard quotes include quality paints, choosing premium brands, specialty finishes (like high-gloss, metallics), or low-VOC/zero-VOC paints may slightly adjust the material cost. Height & Accessibility: Projects involving very high ceilings (vaulted ceilings), intricate trim work, or hard-to-reach areas may require more time and specialized equipment, influencing labor costs. Color Changes: Significant color changes, especially from dark to light, might require additional coats of paint, which will be discussed and included in your quote. What's Included in Your Quote: Materials: All necessary drywall products, paints, primers, and standard supplies. Labor: The expertise and time of our licensed and insured professionals. Preparation: Covering furniture, protecting floors, patching minor imperfections, sanding, and cleaning surfaces. Application: Expert application of drywall compounds and paint coats for a flawless finish. Cleanup: Thorough cleanup of the work area upon completion. Discounts & Promotions: Seasonal Offers: Keep an eye on our website and social media for potential seasonal discounts or promotions on our drywall and painting services. Multi-Service Discount: Customers combining drywall repair with interior painting in the same project may be eligible for special pricing. Be sure to ask us during your consultation!
