Sheetrock
I have hired 3 men to do sheetrocking in my home. They could only work today
and charge by the hour. I have three rooms that need to be done (each approximately 13 x 20). Approximately how long would it take to do these rooms? They are perfectly square, no odd cuts. Thanks!! Meleah |

Plus you need to figure in door and window openings which require extra time. 3 guys who know what they're doing, assuming no ceiling work and bare studs on the wall (and no oddball framing) should be able to do an 8ft high 20 foot wall in about 1-2 hours depending on existing openings. I'd say a room a day without taping and mudding. Best, Marc, who's only moderately skilled at drywalling and would take a week/room without help. |

Sheetrock
It totally depends on the crew. If this is an "top notch" crew they
be throwing up 12' sheets every few minutes with the third member driving screws every couple seconds. I'd be surprised if any one room takes more than an hour. Make sure you supply them with lots of sheetrock. The "pros" waist lots of sheetrock in order to avoid time consuming cutting and tapping work. It'll be worth the price just to watch them work. Just stay out of there way or you might end up being trapped inside a wall!! "Meleah Foreman" wrote in message ... I have hired 3 men to do sheetrocking in my home.

Sheetrock
From what I have learned from 3 brothers in the drywall trade at one time or
another. Drywall is usually bid by the square foot. There are so many variable in hanging rock, for example is the drywall already stocked in the room, are they internal walls where they can be glued and screwed or outside walls where they have to be screwed every foot along the wall stud. Do the rockers have to do the ceiling, how tall. Is it posible to get a couple bids to give you a ballpark? Best of Luck. Mike J. "Meleah Foreman" wrote in message ...
