Quick, honest answers to what most people want to know before booking an install.
How much will my drywall install cost?
Most install jobs in Will County fall into these ranges:
Single small room: $800 – $1,500
Average garage or medium room: $1,500 – $3,500
Basement or large space: $3,000 – $6,000
Whole-home or multi-room: $5,000 – $12,000+
Final price is set after we see the space (in person or by photos + square footage). Most jobs land in the middle of these ranges. Send us the details and we'll send a written quote back, usually within 1-2 business days.
Do you handle the painting too?
No — and we do that on purpose. We focus on hanging, taping, and finishing drywall to a paint-ready surface. By not bundling painting, we keep your price lower and our work faster.
When we leave, your walls will be smooth, primed, and ready for your color. You can paint it yourself or hire any painter separately. Most homeowners save hundreds — sometimes thousands — by handling paint as its own job.
If you need a painter recommendation, just ask. We work with a few good ones in Will County.
How long will the install take?
Timing depends on size. Rough ranges:
Single small room: 2-3 days
Average garage or medium room: 3-5 days
Basement or large space: 5-8 days
Whole-home or multi-room: 1-3 weeks
That includes hanging, taping, mudding (typically 3 coats), and final finishing to a paint-ready surface. We confirm exact timeline with you when you approve the quote — no surprises mid-project.
What stage do I need to be at before you can start?
For us to hang drywall, the space needs to be at the "ready for drywall" stage:
✓ Framing is complete and inspected (if required)
✓ Electrical rough-in is done and inspected
✓ Plumbing rough-in is done and inspected
✓ HVAC ductwork is in (if applicable)
✓ Insulation is installed (if applicable)
Not sure if you're ready? Send us photos of where you're at right now. We'll tell you what's left before we can start, and we can usually quote the drywall work even if you're a few weeks out.
What types of install jobs do you take?
We handle most residential drywall install work:
✓ Basement finishing
✓ Garage drywall (insulated and finished)
✓ Room additions
✓ New construction (single-family homes)
✓ Whole-home rebuilds after damage
✓ Bonus rooms, finished attics, in-law suites
We don't currently take large commercial jobs (offices, retail buildouts) or multi-unit apartment projects. If you're not sure if your project fits, just describe it when you send your quote request — we'll let you know honestly.
How do you handle dust and cleanup?
Drywall install creates more dust than repair — we plan for it. We hang drop cloths over doorways, cover any flooring that could collect dust, and use HEPA-friendly vacuums during sanding.
When we're done, we clean up our materials, sweep the work area, and leave the space ready for your paint. We don't move your furniture or restore landscaping outside — but the drywall work area will be tidy.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully licensed and insured. Xpress Drywall and Taping LLC is a properly registered Illinois business with general liability coverage, so you're protected if anything goes wrong on the job.
We're also background-checked through Angi Approved and HomeAdvisor's screened & approved network. Certificates of insurance available on request before any job starts.
What's your guarantee on the work?
Every install is backed by a 1-year written workmanship guarantee. If a seam shows through, a corner cracks, or anything we did fails within 12 months of completion, we come back and fix it at no charge.
No fine print, no "settling" excuses, no fees for the warranty visit. You call, we come back, we make it right.
