Hanging and taping drywall requires patience and skill, which is why most people choose to hire a professional. Hanging requires some muscle and precision, while finishing requires a lot of time and attention to detail.<\/p>\n
Hanging drywall, the first step, involves attaching the drywall to ceiling joists and wall studs with nails or screws. Taping involves many steps, including:<\/p>\n

The goal with taping drywall is that is looks completely seamless when complete, which is why it\u2019s best to hire a professional if you\u2019ve studied the process but still don\u2019t feel comfortable trying it. After taping, the only remaining tasks are priming, painting and trim work.<\/p>\n
The cost to hang and tape drywall depends on the amount of drywall to be hung, the thickness and quality of the drywall, who supplies the drywall (you or the contractor), the difficulty of the job and your geographic location (this matters a lot). Some contractors charge by the square foot to hang and tape; others by the hour or the sheet. <\/p>\n
