Sheetrock installation costs in Denver range from $1.70 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on project specifics. This variance can lead to substantial differences in overall project costs. For example, a mid-size basement finish could see a swing of thousands of dollars. Understanding these costs is crucial for construction professionals aiming to provide accurate estimates and maintain profitability.
Standard 1/2-inch gypsum board is common, but specialized boards like fire-rated or moisture-resistant options can increase costs. Denver's location can add up to 8% to material costs due to shipping fees.
Labor accounts for 50-65% of total costs. Factors like tight spaces or high ceilings can slow down installation, impacting overall expenses.
Finish levels range from Level 3 to Level 5, with each level requiring additional labor and materials. Higher finish levels are often requested for aesthetic reasons, impacting costs.
These prices include materials, labor, and basic site protection but exclude additional tasks like framing or painting.
