Walls that look effortless never are — someone measured, hung, taped, and sanded them into that condition. Tallahassee Drywall installs drywall across Tallahassee and the Big Bend, from a single remodeled room to whole-house new construction, and we carry every job through the full sequence: delivery, hanging, taping, mudding, sanding, and texture, ending at a genuinely paint-ready surface.
Installation Projects We Take On
- Remodels & additions — new board tied invisibly into existing walls, so nobody can point to where the old house stops.
- Garage & lanai conversions — Tallahassee's favorite square footage play. We handle the board selection and fire-rated details that make a conversion legal and comfortable.
- New construction — complete hang-and-finish packages for builders and owner-builders, on the schedule you were promised.
- Home offices & flex rooms — framed, hung, and finished so the new room reads original to the house.
- Commercial build-outs — offices, retail, and medical spaces, usually over metal studs, from Midtown to Capital Circle.
- Ceilings — real ceiling board on a proper fastening schedule, hung flat and finished to survive Florida's raking afternoon light.
Board Selection Matters More in Florida
In a market this humid, choosing drywall is climate engineering. Standard 1/2" board handles most living spaces; 5/8" Type X goes into garage walls and fire-rated assemblies; and moisture- and mold-resistant board earns its premium in bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and any wall that backs up to an AC closet. We spec board room by room — because the cheapest sheet in the wrong room is the most expensive one in the house.
How We Get Walls Actually Flat
- Framing checked first. Bowed or proud studs get corrected before board goes up — drywall reports whatever it's screwed to.
- Layout that minimizes joints. Sheets run perpendicular to framing, seams staggered, butt joints kept scarce and out of the light.
- Fasteners set right. Dimpled just below the surface with the paper intact — overdriven screws become next year's pops.
- Full three-coat finish. Tape, fill, and finish coats with real drying time between — which we respect even in August, when humidity stretches every cycle.
Drywall Installation Cost in Tallahassee
Most installed-and-finished drywall in the Tallahassee area runs about $1.90–$3.40 per square foot of board, depending on ceiling height, room complexity, finish level, and access. A standard 12×12 room typically lands around $1,400–$2,300 finished; garage conversions vary with insulation and ceiling scope.
