Residential Drywall Takeoff Service

Before you begin a bid for your next framing and drywall construction project, it is important that you are fully prepared with the accurate quantity of materials, types of materials, as well as estimated costs. Done manually on paper, this process can be time-intensive, taking anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. In addition, there is an increased likelihood of errors when this process is done manually; errors in quantifying the number of materials needed or relevant measurements can result in inaccuracies in your drywall project bid. With other competitors potentially bidding on the same framing & drywall project, inaccuracies in your project bid can reduce your chances of winning. As such, you should utilize whatever tools are necessary to ensure the accuracy of your bid.

Types of Drywall

To make drywall last for many years, choose the right type of drywall for the project. There are four basic categories of drywall to choose from, each offering its own benefits. 

Standard Drywall

Standard drywall doesn’t have any special features added to the design. It is popular inside residential construction.

Mold Resistant Drywall

This drywall features a paperless backing and special coating to help prevent the build-up of mold in moist or humid areas.

Moisture Resistant Drywall

Areas prone to moisture and humidity are ideal for moisture-resistant drywall. This drywall features a special paperless backing and an additional coating to prevent mold and moisture.

Fire Resistant Drywall

Fire-resistant drywall is made with glass fibers in an extra-thick design. This makes them ideal for use in utility rooms, garages, and areas near a furnace or wood stove.

Soundproof Drywall

Soundproof drywall is designed to reduce noise from traveling between walls. It’s thicker than most standard drywall sheets and often has two gypsum layers that are glued together with a special noise-dampening adhesive.
