a perfectly reasonable price depending on the size of the ceiling and exactly what is included.
For example, a current 2026 cost guide estimates that replacing drywall on a ceiling can run around $5–$7 per square foot when materials, labor, supplies, equipment and disposal are included, although real-world prices vary by market. (BuildX)
Other estimates put a typical 12×12-foot ceiling replacement around $300–$600, while larger ceilings can easily reach $1,000 or more. (HomeGuide)
So the important question isn’t simply:
“Is $1,500 too expensive?”
The better
