How much drywall should one person hang per day?

Answer 1

You should charge a fee that will include a portion of your fixed costs for such things as insurance, storage, tools, gas, and vehicle expenses. Add to that a labor fee based on the expected amount of time you anticipate the job will take. The labor fee will be based on your experience, skill level, and demand for your work. Then add a profit percentage of 10-50%. Add in also any materials you provide and mark them up by whatever percentage you think is appropriate.

Answer 2

Depends how fast you want it done. I'd recommend just letting a hanger bid a job, otherwise you run into the risk of having him take his sweet time. I charge by the board so as fast as I want to hang it or as slow as I want to hang it depends on me. But you should pay them 60 an hour if they're putting up 5, 12 foot sheets an hour. A real journyman residential drywaller working by the foot can normally average about 25 bucks an hour. If you are on prevailing wage for a commercial job you will make alot more.

Answer 3

That depends where you are. Here in western Canada, an average sheet, 1/2 x 4 ft x 8 ft is around $12 retail. I understand it is much less in parts of US.

Answer 4

Drywall labour costs depend largely on where you do them. Labour costs across North America differ locally.
