What the ad should of said is. looking for a starving drywall crew to work for peanuts.

No way in I would touch that job for less than .65 per foot

GPI

Exactly!!!!!

I'll place odds that you find someone who is hungry enough....not sure how it will turn out, but you will find someone.

That price is consistent with what I pay, though I cover the insurance or pay extra. The price comes out to about $200 per man per day. Either you guys work slow or $200 per man day isn't enough in your markets.

I had one hangar hang a single story 1500 square foot house with 9' ceilings in one weekend, no helper. His part of the job earned him $900. I'm guessing you guys are slow because $900 for a weekend job isn't to shabby anywhere.

The going rate in my area is .90 to 1.10 to hang tape texture material included. depending on how high the ceilings are and how much bead.

I never really look to see if we are slow.
Just did a job of 460 4x12 sheets 11' walls steel studs three men 5 days to hang

jett_painting

Did I interpret that right? Hang AND Finish for 27/31 cents a foot????? You have GOT to be joking........ I enjoy what I do, but I don't do it strictly for the fun of it!

price seems very low to me, here in the UK fixing price for an 8x4 sheet would be 10,11 bucks and jointing would be about the same, so about $20 per sheet finished based on 8x4

Mater

I don't know where this guy is from, but I charge $20/board to finish, $30/board to hang and finish for 4x8. This is 4x12, which is 50% more, so I would run $45/board to hang and finish. So $45 x 230 = $10,350 What was he thinking

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you have time to rush through your work and come back and fix it later, then you have the time to do it right the first time

Plus flat ceilngs,what a joke.This job is a half hour away from me.

Drywall1

Darn near a buck a foot just for labor. Wow thats awesome. I could make some bad a55 bank at that price. But at that price here I would starve with no work. Hell thats even good money with materials included.
