Estimate Your Drywall Materials

Drywall (sheetrock) is the interior wall and ceiling surface in virtually every home built since the 1950s. The material itself is inexpensive — sheets run $10–$15 each — but the ancillary materials (joint compound, tape, screws, corner bead) add up quickly. The Drywall Calculator estimates all of it from your room dimensions: sheets, mud, tape, and fasteners.

Drywall Calculator

Sheets, joint tape, mud, and screw estimates for walls and ceilings. Accounts for doors, windows, and waste.

Ceiling Calculator

Sheet count for ceiling installation with joint compound and screws.

Drywall goes up after insulation is installed in the wall cavities. Once finished and primed, you'll need the Paint Calculator to estimate gallons for the finished walls. And if you're doing a full renovation, tile for the bathroom and carpet for the bedrooms are usually estimated in the same planning session.
