Drywall Estimation Guide

Standard drywall sheets come in widths of 48 inches and varying lengths. Using 12-foot sheets reduces the number of joints to tape, creating a smoother finish.

Estimation Factors:

Screws: Use approx 35 screws per 4x8 sheet.
Tape: Approx 0.375 ft of tape per square foot of drywall.
Mud: Approx 0.14 lbs of joint compound per square foot.
