Drywall Estimating Best Practices
Always Add Waste Factor
Include 10% waste for experienced crews, 15% for complex layouts with lots of cuts. Waste accounts for mistakes, breakage, and odd angles that increase material needs.
Specify Finish Level Clearly
Level 3, 4, and 5 finishes require different labor and materials. Define the finish level in your estimate to avoid disputes about smoothness and quality expectations.
Account for Ceiling Difficulty
Ceiling work takes 25-30% longer than walls due to overhead position and difficulty. Price ceiling labor separately at higher rates to protect margins.
Include All Supplies
Don't forget corner bead, fasteners, sandpaper, and cleanup materials. Small items adds up quickly and can erase profit if not included in estimates.
