POV DRYWALL $350 1 HOUR

[@Mrstevejackson100]

Good looking job man. I do the same thing here in ms. That's about what I would have charged. Plus another $80 or so to paint it. Painting is my specialty as well. We don't do the skip texture here though. Just flat ceilings and matte or eggshell finish walls.

I love the plastic on the floor / toss the mud down idea. Saves so much time and mess later on. After seeing that cat (or dog) I thought you could always have a 2’x2’ square of plastic that you drape over your blob area if you’re leaving the site for a few mins so they don’t step in it and track it everywhere haha. That would SUCK

[@thedrywalltech]

@@heyb6268 I’ve a actually done that in some jobs, depends how crazy the dog is 😂

[@heyb6268]

@@thedrywalltech I can imagine haha I’ve worked around some pups that get into everything/constantly jump. Some people have no sense to put the dog up for the hour I’m there lol. Others are chill and just stare at you lol

@ exactly 😂

[@totallybonkers]

Man, im in TX and these contractors wanted $900 to do exactly what you just did. It made me learn how to diy (thanks KZbin) and tackled it for about $100 in material and equipment. It took me a day of working it step by step, but you can't even tell it was cracked. If they hadn't been so greedy i would have paid $400 or maybe even $450 for their hour... but they lost my business 😂

[@thedrywalltech]

@@totallybonkers My last company was in Austin! You out that direction? I know some people that might have charged you that 😂. Glad you were able to get it done without paying $900. That’s crazy!

I use a hand cream instead of gloves, you put it on in the beginning of the day and it keeps mud and paint (and roofing tar) off your hands all day.

[@thedrywalltech]

@@chriscolameco6850 never tried it. Have just been so use to gloves for years. What brand is it?

[@wise-man6832]

Any chance you could do a video showing how you texture like you did in this video? It’s crazy how you did it but I feel like just watching the video that it would just smooth out, you have great technique but I’d be curious in a more detailed video for just texturing? Another great video

[@thedrywalltech]

@@wise-man6832 When I was first moving out here I was looking up videos of this texture and I could not find anyone good ones . Besides a you tube short of a commercial guy doing it with a huge blade so I will definitely do that man 👍🏼 and thank you for the compliment on the video 🤙🏼

Whats the texturing tool brand for the hand pump one ?

Hey I love your work and im learning so much. I just starting my own handyman business and I have this dry wall job I need to do, I need patch 2 plumber hole and a pretty big ceiling water damage repair (about 2'x2') with paint match, also its on the stairwell. How would you price this job?

[@thedrywalltech]

@@itsdoncartagena6485 thank you ! Stairwell ones are a pain! What state do you live in?

[@itsdoncartagena6485]

@ MARYLAND, im otw to the client and thinking $1000 for everything

[@thedrywalltech]

@@itsdoncartagena6485 go for it man! The worst they could say is no. Just explain the process when you bid it so they know how much work actually goes into doing this kind of work. Good luck!

[@comixzone5524]

This may be a dumb question but what about paint? You leave it up to the customer to find a painter or do it on their own?

[@chriscermak3188]

Great videos. Were are you located that you can charge that much. I can't get that in Chicago , the market just won't go for it. There's to much of a non native born workforce in the trades here doing residential. Keeps prices lower.

[@thedrywalltech]

@@chriscermak3188 thank you brotha! I’m out in Arizona. My last company was in Austin Texas and I pretty much Charged the same there as well. It’s funny I get people from Chicago telling me I’m cheap.Maybe try to focus your advertising in the higher end areas. And I always have had a minimum and I dont sway from it. If the client doesn’t want to pay that then they are not right for me.

[@chriscermak3188]

@@thedrywalltech Ha, well i never said i was a good business man.

[@charleshairston4853]

Do you give your customers an option on painting and how do you handle that situation?

[@thedrywalltech]

@@charleshairston4853 Yes I always offer paint but most of the time I have to come back for another trip so the texture can dry. SoI tell them if they would like me to paint as well then it will be my minimum trip charge plus the cost of paint. If it’s small like in my next video Im posting then I will use a heat gun and fan to dry it and paint it in the same trip .

[@charleshairston4853]

Thanks for the quick response.

[@Mrstevejackson100]

​@@thedrywalltech damn...exactly what I do. Great minds think alike.

@ hell yeah man! 👊🏼

[@MGMG007]

You mentioned you’ve had a drywall repair company in 3 different states, how do you about marketing and getting jobs when you hit a new market? Drywall repair is soo niche it looks like it might be a grind to get consistent work until people know your name, seems like you’re right aside from doing great work like you do 🤔

@ Doing that I would for sure use go pro. I use go pro for my family channel a lot and it works fine. It’s just more durable to drop or rinse off.
