Drywall Contactor

augen blich asked:


I’m currently soliciting bids to have some drywall installed in a house that I just bought. I need 4 rooms done; drywall installed, taped, sanded, finished. Everything, but I purchase and deliver the materials and paint it when finished. I probably want smooth finish walls instead of textured, unless textured is cheaper.

What can I expect to pay? Do the installers charge by the sheet, or the square foot?

What kind of questions should I be asking the guys who bid on the job, to help me select the right one?

What kind of problems might I encounter in this type of job, that I can watch for and try to prevent?

Thanks a lot for whatever advice you give me!
