Baudman, figuring your square foot price should come to you quite easily for your normal 8' flat walls and ceilings. When considering vaulted, cathedral, or ceilings that are abnormally high figure what you feel your extra time will be. That extra time will include aquiring and setting up scaffolding (delivery included), probably an extra set of hands to help, and the awkwardness of handling sheets (or taping) up high on a scaffold.
Be generous with your estimate, that type of work takes extra time and care to accomplish. I did one years ago that cost me my business because I wasn't brave enough to charge properly for the extra work involved in the high work (I doubled my normal rate and should have quadrupled it). Good luck with your new venture!!!
You should talk to DaveH on this forum, he's the drywall estimating Guru...
