$1,500 to Re-Sheet This Ceiling: Is the Contractor Overcharging?

Installing drywall isn’t simply a matter of attaching boards to the exposed wood.

A professional ceiling replacement can involve several stages:

* Removing remaining damaged drywall
* Preparing and inspecting the exposed framing
* Checking for damaged wiring, insulation, or other problems
* Measuring and cutting multiple drywall sheets
* Lifting heavy sheets overhead
* Screwing the drywall securely into the framing
* Taping every joint
* Applying several coats of joint compound
* Sanding between coats
* Matching the existing ceiling finish
* Cleaning up and disposing of construction debris
* Potentially priming and painting the repaired area
