thats about what I was thinking also. im not talking about asking 'joe' to come over and do some work. im talking a real deal company who comes in and rips shit out, and totally re-constructs the shitter area.

My friends dad use to run a dry wall company been in business 15+ years did great work. rate was 75 an hour.



Of course it sounds pricey but you have to figure there time ordering parts,loading trucks,clean up etc which most companies these days will cut deals on to make the deal happen.

I think just tear out the drywall and leave it. Give that sleeper look.

50-85 an hour for that. depends. right now, shits cheap. a few years ago, not so much.

Drywall is super easy, just dirty work.  Lowes or Homeboy Depot have free classes on DIY, start attending some.

There is a situation as to why I am asking. I am more than capable of doing the work.

I am not talking about it online.

Have you asked what they would like for compensation?

[Toysrme]

well... when we build a house we charge about $100-135 ft^2 under 2000ft^2. Goes up from there.


$75-100/h for someone competent. put down shit to wipe their feet off on too otherwise they'll track red mud all through the house and not give a shit.

  Drywall and framing are two different things. Framing is permit type, licenses and all that, and drywall is a natural skill of any mexi-melt.

  Single guy as side work who does drywall for a living should be around $20-30 an hour. Small company sending out one of their guys would probably be around $40-$60 an hour, and then if you call Goldman Sachs Drywall Inc. you should look to sew up your asshole when they're done with you.

  The framing, permit or no permit, licensing or not, could be anything, and I'm not qualified to speak on it.
