Subscribed from Littleton. I need texturing also. In my experience, it's hard to get experienced drywallers to take on small jobs.
Yeah, construction is crazy right now, let us know how it goes.
I just got roped into helping brother in law hang drywall in his sister's bathroom project. The guy she hired disappeared.
A competent handyman could make a killing in this town.
I'm sure he disappeared because competenace isn't required right now to do that.Quote:

Wish I had a contact to send everyone's way for drywall.
Well. Most drywall guys are charging $100+ per taped/textured sheet and getting it. A decent 3 guy crew can make thousands in a day on a new build. Its cutting their own throat taking small jobs
Wow! I need to charge more for this job.Quote:

That's exactly what I found when I tried to hire my drywall work out. I've finally reached a point where I can objectively afford to hire a few things out here and there and now I'm so appalled by the pricing that I end up continuing to do things myself! On the positive note, my drywall skills are improving with each sheet I hang!Quote:

Try Core 3 drywall, they did a good job for me and I think they don’t mind smaller jobs. As always YMMV.
It's the reason I can walk on stiltsQuote:
