You’re not looking for the cheapest quote. You’re looking for walls that don’t crack six months later, seams that don’t show through paint, and a crew that shows up when they say they will.
That’s what installing drywall the right way looks like. No gaps you could slide a coin through. No texture mismatches that make your walls look patched together. No dust covering every surface in your home because someone didn’t bother with proper prep or cleanup.
When the job’s finished, your walls are ready for paint or wallpaper. The space is clean. And you’re not dealing with callbacks or touch-ups because corners were cut the first time around. You’re getting exactly what you paid for—smooth, professional drywall installation in Horsham, PA that holds up.
Sharpe Drywall exists because homeowners in Montgomery County kept getting stuck with unreliable contractors. Crews that disappeared mid-project. Quotes that doubled once work started. Finishes so bad you could see every seam through the paint.
We’re locally owned, and we live in the communities we serve. That means our reputation isn’t just online—it’s at the grocery store, the gas station, and everywhere else we run into the people whose homes we work on. We don’t cut corners because we can’t afford to. In Horsham, where the median home was built in 1974, older properties need drywall installers who understand how to work with settling foundations and aged framing. That’s what we do.
First, we cover your floors and furniture. Not because it looks good in photos, but because drywall dust gets everywhere if you don’t prep right. Then we measure, cut, and hang the sheets with attention to stud placement and proper fastener spacing—details that matter when you want walls that don’t sag or crack.
Once the drywall’s up, we tape and mud the seams. This step takes multiple coats and proper drying time between each one. Rushing it is how you end up with visible lines and texture problems later. We sand everything smooth, check for imperfections, and make corrections before calling it done.
Before we leave, we clean up completely. All debris gets hauled away. Dust gets vacuumed. Your home doesn’t become a construction zone you have to deal with after we’re gone. The average cost to install drywall in the Philadelphia area runs between $1,077 and $3,118 depending on square footage and project scope, and our quotes break down exactly what you’re paying for—no surprise fees once we start.

You get material delivery, complete installation, taping, mudding, sanding, and cleanup. We’re licensed and insured, so if something goes wrong, you’re covered. Our quotes are fixed—the price we give you is the price you pay.
In Horsham, where property values average $388,500, your home is a significant investment. That’s why we use quality materials and proper techniques that protect that investment. Soundproof drywall makes sense if you’re in a neighborhood where homes sit close together. Fire-resistant options add safety in older construction where wiring and insulation may not meet current standards.
We handle residential and commercial projects. New construction, renovations, additions—if it involves installing drywall, we’ve done it. The cost to install drywall depends on your project size and material choice, but we’ll walk you through options that fit your budget and timeline. You’re not getting upsold on things you don’t need. You’re getting a clear explanation of what works for your specific situation.
The average cost to install drywall in Horsham, PA typically ranges from $1,077 to $3,118 for most residential projects, with the average landing around $2,095. That breaks down to roughly $1.50 to $3 per square foot when you factor in materials and labor together.
What affects that range? Square footage is the biggest factor—a single room costs less than finishing an entire floor. Ceiling height matters because anything over eight feet requires more material and labor. If you’re adding soundproof or fire-resistant drywall, expect to pay more than standard half-inch sheets, but those upgrades make sense in many Horsham homes where properties sit close together or were built in the 1970s.
Our quotes include everything: materials, delivery, installation, taping, mudding, sanding, and complete cleanup. No line items that suddenly appear once we start working. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope of work.
A standard 12×12 room usually takes one to two days from start to finish, but that timeline depends on whether we’re just hanging drywall or also handling taping, mudding, and finishing. Hanging the sheets goes quickly—often just a few hours for a single room. The finishing work takes longer because mud needs to dry between coats.
If you’re doing multiple rooms or an entire floor, plan on three to five days for complete installation and finishing. Larger projects move faster per square foot because we’re not constantly setting up and breaking down equipment, but the mudding and sanding steps still require proper drying time. Rushing those steps is how you end up with visible seams and texture problems.
Weather affects drying time too. High humidity slows everything down, which matters in Pennsylvania where summer moisture levels can stretch timelines. We’ll give you a realistic schedule based on your specific project and current conditions—not an optimistic guess that leaves you waiting around.
We handle both. Drywall repair is actually a bigger part of our business than most people realize because it’s harder to do well than new installation. Matching existing texture is tricky. Getting a patch to blend seamlessly takes skill and the right materials—it’s why most handyman repairs look obvious once they’re painted.
Common repairs we handle include holes from doorknobs, cracks from settling foundations (especially common in Horsham’s older homes), water damage from roof leaks or plumbing issues, and outdated popcorn ceiling removal. Most repairs get finished in one visit unless we’re dealing with extensive water damage that requires structural work first.
The cost to repair drywall runs significantly less than full installation, but it depends on damage extent. A small hole might cost $150 to $300 to fix properly. Larger repairs or multiple problem areas cost more but still beat replacing entire walls. We’ll assess the damage and tell you whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter move long-term.
Standard drywall works fine in most rooms—bedrooms, living areas, hallways. It’s gypsum sandwiched between paper, and it does the job for normal indoor conditions. Moisture-resistant drywall (often called green board because of its color) has a water-resistant coating that holds up better in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements where humidity levels run higher.
Here’s what matters for your decision: if you’re finishing a bathroom or basement in Horsham, moisture-resistant drywall costs slightly more upfront but prevents problems down the road. Regular drywall in a bathroom will eventually develop mold or start breaking down from constant moisture exposure. That means you’re either living with a mold problem or paying to rip it out and replace it later.
For kitchens, it depends on ventilation. Good exhaust fans mean standard drywall usually holds up fine. Poor ventilation or a kitchen that generates lots of steam? Moisture-resistant makes sense. We’ll look at your specific space and recommend what actually fits your situation—not just default to the more expensive option because it pads the quote.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured to work in Horsham, PA and throughout Montgomery County. That licensing means we’ve met Pennsylvania’s requirements for construction work, and our insurance covers both liability and workers’ compensation.
Why does this matter to you? If something goes wrong—a worker gets injured, we accidentally damage your property, or there’s a dispute about the work—you’re protected. Unlicensed contractors leave you holding the bag if problems come up. Their lower quotes look appealing until you realize you have zero recourse if the work is subpar or something gets damaged.
We’ll provide proof of insurance before starting any project. You can verify our credentials independently if you want—we encourage it. Too many homeowners skip this step and end up dealing with contractors who disappear when issues arise or don’t have coverage if someone gets hurt on the job. Checking credentials takes five minutes and can save you thousands in liability down the road.
Clear the room as much as possible. We’ll cover and protect what stays, but the less furniture and belongings in the space, the easier and faster the job goes. If you’re doing multiple rooms, consider moving valuables and breakables to an unaffected area—drywall work creates dust even with proper containment.
Make sure we have clear access to the work area. That means a path from our truck to the room without obstacles, tight corners, or anything that makes carrying 4×8 sheets difficult. If you have pets, plan to keep them in a separate area during work hours. Drywall installation involves noise, unfamiliar people, and open doors—stressful for animals and risky if they bolt outside.
Check with us about electrical and plumbing work. If you’re adding outlets, moving switches, or running new plumbing, that needs to happen before we hang drywall. Once the walls are up, making those changes means cutting holes and patching—extra work and cost that’s avoidable with proper sequencing. We’ll coordinate with other trades if needed to make sure everything happens in the right order.
