Tim's quote came in a little higher than the others, but I picked him because he seemed to be the most professional. I'm happy with my decision. The work was done well, on time, and on budget. I will use him again.

Philadelphia Drywall Installation
Since it is cost effective, durable, and easy to install, drywall is the building material of choice for interior walls across the country. Whether you are building an addition, finishing a basement or attic, or simply replacing walls that are past their prime, drywall installation will likely be an important part of the process. If you are thinking about any of these projects, it is good to know the pros, cons, and possible problems that might occur before you start your project.
Drywall Installation in Basements and Attics
Finishing a basement or attic is an excellent way to improve the value of your Philadelphia home and increase the amount of useable space, too. The task, though much less expensive than a traditional addition, is not what you'd call "cheap." This is the biggest reason why, for these types of remodels, drywall is the best choice for the new interiors.
One major concern you should have when putting in drywall in a basement or attic has to do with moisture. When drywall is exposed to frequent moisture, it can break down and become soft. A roof that leaks or a basement that is not properly waterproofed can cause huge problems and possibly put a damper on your new investment. Before beginning drywall installation, Philadelphia homeowners should have their roof or basement walls inspected to make sure there are no moisture issues present. Thorough inspection for leaks should also be done when installing drywall in or around a bathroom, especially if your home has the ancient plumbing so common in Philadelphia.
Drywall Installation in Other Areas
In places where moisture is not an issue, the next biggest concern is that of impact. While it might be a tall order to foresee all the possible bumps and bruises that might affect your new walls, certain areas might be more prone to contusion than others. For instance, installing a small door stop could save your new wall from getting beat up by a doorknob. Likewise, holding off on a new wall and simply patching up the old one might be a good idea until your 9 year old Phillies fan learns better bat control (or at least learns to keep the game outside). Actually, any household with kids should probably keep a putty knife and a bit of spackle around on general principle.
Drywall Finishing
When you do decide that it's time to install your drywall, you'll have a few different options to choose from on how it is finished. In a more modern setting, you might opt for an extra smooth finish that, though it takes more work to produce than some others, lends any room a very contemporary feel. To compliment the look of older homes in Philadelphia, drywall finishing can be made to look like a classic plaster wall.
After you're done with the drywall finishing, Philadelphia homeowners can further accent their new wall with some contemporary, or perhaps vintage, wallpaper. Before you adhere it directly to the drywall, however, you should make sure to apply a coat of primer/sealant designed for wallpaper (this will help tremendously when and if you decide to remove it).
Prices
For extensive drywall installation, Philadelphia residents might pay as much as $3,500. For most jobs, however, southeastern PA prices are closer to the national average of about $2,000. Drywall installation generally takes no more than a week or so, and smaller projects can often be finished in a day or two.
