You’re tired of contractors who ghost mid-project or leave seams you can see through the paint. You need someone who understands that your time matters and your home isn’t a practice space.
When we install drywall in Carroll Park, PA, you get walls that are smooth, seams that disappear, and a space that’s ready for paint without extra rounds of patching. Most jobs finish in a day. We cover your floors and furniture, contain the dust, and clean up completely before we leave.
You’re not dealing with change orders or surprise fees. The price we quote is what you pay. And because we’re licensed and insured, you’re covered if anything goes sideways—which it won’t, but it matters that you’re protected.
Sharpe Drywall exists because too many homeowners in Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia counties were getting burned by contractors who didn’t care. We saw neighbors dealing with gaps you could stick coins through, seams that showed through paint, and crews that disappeared mid-project.
We’ve been doing this for over ten years. We live in the communities we serve, and we treat every Carroll Park home like it’s our own. That means showing up when we say we will, using premium materials, and finishing the job without the drama.
Carroll Park has one of the highest concentrations of rowhouses in the country—79.9% of homes here are attached. That means shared walls, tight spaces, and drywall work that requires precision. We’ve done hundreds of these jobs. We know how to work in tight quarters without damaging your neighbor’s property or leaving a mess behind.
First, we come out to see the space. We measure, check for any issues with framing or moisture, and give you a detailed estimate. No guessing, no hourly rates that spiral—just a clear price for the work.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule a day that works for you. We show up on time with all the materials and tools. We hang the drywall, tape and mud the seams, and apply multiple coats to get everything smooth. Each coat needs to dry, so depending on the size of the job, we might finish in one day or come back for final sanding and touch-ups.
Before we leave, we sand everything down, vacuum up the dust, and walk through the space with you. You see exactly what you’re getting, and if something doesn’t look right, we fix it before we pack up. Then it’s ready for primer and paint.

The cost to install drywall in Carroll Park, PA typically runs between $1.50 and $3.50 per square foot, depending on the scope of the job, ceiling height, and whether we’re working around existing plaster or older materials. For most residential projects, you’re looking at $1,077 to $3,118 total, with the average landing around $2,095.
That includes labor, materials, taping, mudding, and finishing. We use mold-resistant drywall in kitchens and bathrooms, and we don’t cut corners on joint compound or fasteners. You’re not paying for the cheapest option—you’re paying for walls that won’t crack in six months.
Carroll Park homes were mostly built in the 1940s through 1960s, and many still have original plaster walls with drywall added during renovations. Matching textures and blending old and new materials takes experience. We’ve done it hundreds of times. You won’t see a line where the old wall ends and the new one starts.
We also handle cleanup as part of the job. That means covering floors, protecting furniture, containing dust with barriers, and vacuuming thoroughly when we’re done. You’re not spending your weekend cleaning up drywall mud.
Most single-room installations finish in one day. If we’re doing multiple rooms or a full-floor renovation, expect two to three days depending on drying time between coats.
The actual hanging goes fast. It’s the taping, mudding, and sanding that take time because each coat of joint compound needs to dry completely before we can apply the next one. We don’t rush it. Rushing leads to cracks and visible seams.
For Carroll Park rowhouses, we’re often working in tighter spaces with shared walls, which means we need to be more careful about noise, access, and protecting adjacent properties. That doesn’t slow us down much, but it does require more planning upfront.
For a standard 12×12 room, you’re looking at around $800 to $1,200 including materials and labor. Larger projects like finishing a basement or renovating a full floor can run $2,000 to $4,000 depending on square footage and complexity.
We price by the job, not by the hour. That means you know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and there are no surprise charges if something takes longer than expected. The estimate includes everything: drywall sheets, joint compound, tape, fasteners, labor, and cleanup.
If we find issues during the job—like damaged framing or hidden moisture problems—we’ll let you know before doing any extra work. You decide whether to move forward, and we adjust the price in writing. No one likes surprises on the final bill.
Yes, and it’s included in every job. We’re not the crew that leaves dust all over your furniture and mud tracked through your house.
Before we start, we cover floors with drop cloths and protect any furniture that can’t be moved. We set up dust barriers if we’re working in one room while you’re living in others. During sanding, we use vacuums with HEPA filters to contain as much dust as possible.
When we’re done, we vacuum the floors, wipe down surfaces, and haul away all the scrap drywall and packaging. You shouldn’t have to spend your weekend cleaning up after us. That’s part of doing the job right.
Yes. Most Carroll Park homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, and many still have original plaster walls. When you’re adding drywall during a renovation, the textures don’t always match, and that line between old and new can be obvious if the installer doesn’t know what they’re doing.
We’ve worked on hundreds of these projects. We know how to blend drywall into existing plaster so you can’t tell where one ends and the other starts. That means matching the texture, feathering the edges, and using the right joint compound to get everything level.
If your plaster is in rough shape, we’ll let you know upfront whether it makes sense to patch it or replace sections with drywall. Sometimes patching costs more than replacing, and we’re not going to sell you the more expensive option if it doesn’t make sense.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance that covers your property throughout the entire project. That protects you if something gets damaged, and it protects us if someone gets hurt on the job.
A lot of drywall installers skip insurance because it’s expensive, and they pass those savings on to you in the form of lower prices. That’s great until something goes wrong and you’re stuck with the bill. We’ve seen homeowners pay thousands out of pocket because their contractor wasn’t insured.
You can ask to see our insurance certificate before we start. We’ll send it over, no problem. If a contractor hesitates or says they’ll “get it to you later,” that’s a red flag.
We use standard half-inch drywall for most walls and five-eighths-inch for ceilings. In kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, we install mold-resistant drywall—sometimes called green board or purple board depending on the brand.
Mold-resistant drywall costs a bit more, but it’s worth it in spaces where moisture is an issue. Carroll Park homes are older, and a lot of them don’t have great ventilation in bathrooms or basements. Regular drywall can absorb moisture and grow mold behind the paint. Mold-resistant drywall has a treated core that stops that from happening.
We also use paper tape and setting-type joint compound for the first coat. It’s stronger than pre-mixed mud and less likely to crack over time. For the finish coats, we switch to lightweight compound because it’s easier to sand smooth. You’re getting materials that are designed to last, not just the cheapest option at the supply house.
