Davey had a good question about Alberta rates. I see crazy prices also. What do you pay a legal guy to hang board? Not tape & finish, just hang.

[Brockster]

.17 to .21cents. Cut-out, scraped and swept clean.

[James Boyd]

Broctologist! That is a scream, man! Thanks for the numbers. They sure have come down, lately...

[Tim0282]

Iowa is paying .21 hung, beads hung, scrapped and swept out. I furnish all material.

[James Boyd]

Thanks guys.

I get about .26 normal housing and warehouses. About 55+ with the custom housing, theres a big jump there. This is in Montana.

[James Boyd]

you get charged $0.55 a foot for residential? To hang board?

[BattleRidge]

i charge that much, just more custom homes though. We do a lot of projects in the yellowstone club and such, but there is a big high end market here. I've gotten more then that before but thats about average in the club.

the homes are pretty rediculous though

[James Boyd]

Whew!!!

[Tim0282]

I bet you're talking high ceilings, chopped up cubby holes. Real hard, slow hanging. You need .55 to break even because of the time factor.

[BattleRidge]

yeah for sure in some spots. I definitely make more up there, but sometimes the things you have to do are pretty rediculous and slow you way down. Definitely not a typical residential hang.

piece workers here are making about .14/sqft to hang and about .16/sqft to finish which is around $7.00/hang $7.50/finish. hanging price not including scrap out..scrap out & swept is an extra dollar a board.

All this is for a standard spec home. Customs can get up to $9.50-$10.00/board

I've heard as low as $5.50/board to hang. I know one drywall contractor that won't pay more than $8.00 for hanging & finishing togeather!! problem is people will work for it, so he can get away with it.

I do everything in house, so I don't deal with piece workers to much. But the couple I do use once in awhile I am paying $8.50/board for standard 8' ceilings & $10.00 for anything above 10'. But we have no ceilings to deal with either & it is all stood up.

While I was in central Texas last month visiting wife's family I ran into some buddies who were telling me that they( illegals and some legals) are hanging board in the area for as little as .07 cents a sq/ft. not even worth getting out of bed for.

[tnt specialty]

Avg. .125/sq. ft. to hang here on the Colorado front rangs, (Denver metro).

[BamaDrywall]

I charge .12 for 8ft
.14 for 9 ft
and 10 foor or above it is depending on how bad cut up the house is and what else is in it..trey celings....box...octagons etc.This is for hanging.Finishers get about double the hanging.
Illegals are killing it right now..doing the hanging and finishing for $14 to hang and finish

[buletbob]

here on long Island I'm paying $18.00 -$20.00 per 4x12 Cut hung and beaded. same to spackle.

[Tapingfool]

When I price jobs with hangers, we charge the same per board price: with not supplying materials we charge $18.00-20.00 per 16/12ft board for 8 ft ceilings, and extra depending on any high or custom work..for puzzle 8 ft boards with lots of butt semas, about 22.00..with me getting materials it is the same plus material cost..
