Drywall subcontractor jobs near you
Builders post drywall packages once insulation passes, and remodelers post basements, additions and repairs. Listings show square footage or board count so you can price hang and finish.
The drywall work contractors post
- New home hang and finish
- Basement finishes
- Additions and remodels
- Ceiling texture and repairs
- Light commercial partitions
Every project is posted by a builder or general contractor we've reviewed, with the town and ZIP code, bid due date and files. You see how far each job is from your shop.
How it works
- Set up your profile. Pick drywall and any other trades you do, your home ZIP code and how far you'll travel.
- Find and watch projects. Open the plans and photos, ask the contractor questions, and watch the ones you're pricing.
- Send your bid. Your price, earliest start date and notes, from your phone or computer. Only that contractor sees it.
No lead fees and no cut of the job. You agree on the contract and payment directly with the contractor.
Pricing drywall work from a listing
What contractors compare, and where drywall bids usually differ.
Check the listing for
- Square footage of board, or number of sheets
- Ceiling heights and any vaulted or tray ceilings
- Level of finish and texture
- Fire-rated or moisture-resistant board locations
- Who supplies board and stocking
How it's usually priced
Usually per sheet or per square foot of board, with texture, high ceilings and fire-rated assemblies priced separately.
Contractors compare bids side by side, so naming your units and what's included makes yours easy to pick.
Say what's in or out
- Level of finish
- Corner bead type
- Scaffolding for high ceilings
- Cleanup and disposal of scrap
Licenses and insurance for drywall subcontractors
Drywall usually falls under a general or home improvement registration where one is required. Contractors usually ask for liability insurance and workers' comp.
On Contracting Bridge you can add your certificate of insurance and license to earn the Insured and Licensed badges, which show on every bid. Some projects require them. You can still see those projects and get your badges in place before you bid.
This is general information, not legal advice. Requirements change by state and city, so check with your state's licensing board and your insurance agent. What insurance subcontractors need
Questions from drywall subcontractors
What level of finish should I bid?
Bid what the listing asks for. If it doesn't say, state your level in the notes, such as level 4 smooth, so your bid can be compared with others.
Can I bid hang only or finish only?
Yes. Say so clearly in your notes. Some contractors split the package between two crews.
Is it really free?
Yes. Posting, bidding, messaging and reviews are free while we launch, with no limits. General contractors will stay free. When a Pro plan for trades arrives, Founding Members get a lower price, and the free plan stays.
Where does Contracting Bridge work?
Anywhere in the United States. Projects are matched by distance from each trade's home ZIP code, so you'll see more activity as more companies join near you.
Do I pay to bid on an invitation?
No, and you never will. When a contractor invites you to bid, seeing the project and bidding on it is free on every plan.
