Common Drywaller Invoicing Mistakes

Real pain shows up in unclear bills; these fixes prevent disputes and keep cash moving.

Mistake
How to fix it
Bundling labor and materials together confuses value and slows approvals.
List labor and materials separately with quantities and units so clients can follow the math.
Skipping deposit terms leads to delays and cash gaps.
State the deposit amount, due date, and when work begins; apply it on the final bill.
Record square footage, room names, and layers per area and keep those notes with the invoice.

Note what prep is included and what is not, like paint removal, wallpaper, or wet drywall remediation.

Missing compliance identifiers blocks inspections and payment.
Add your license number and any permit or inspection numbers where required; check local rules.
Not stating warranty coverage invites callbacks and chargebacks.
Specify what is covered, for how long, and what voids coverage to set fair expectations.

Drywall Invoice FAQs

Estimate to final, T&M vs per-sq-ft, mud levels, texture, change orders, bead types, haul-off, retainage, inspections for drywall pros: line items, markup, terms, clear answers.

How should I price hanging and finishing: per square foot or hourly?

Use per-sq-ft for standard hang and tape. Switch to hourly for repairs and weird angles. Example: “Hang 1/2" gypsum board, 1,200 sq ft @ $2.10 = $2,520; Taping Level 4, 1,200 sq ft @ $0.90 = $1,080.”

Do I list Level 5 finish as a separate line?

Yes. Level 5 is extra labor and mud. Example: “Upgrade to Level 5 skim, 1,200 sq ft @ $0.60 = $720.”

How do I handle a change order when the owner adds sound control or niches?

Price the delta, not the whole job. Get sign-off before you mud. Example: “CO#2 Add sound board to bedrooms, 520 sq ft @ $1.10 = $572.”

What’s the best way to charge for small patch jobs?

Set a trip minimum, then add time and materials. A taper can add a return visit fee for dry time. Example: “Service minimum 2 hr @ $95 = $190; Joint compound 1.5 gal @ $12 = $18.”

Can I add an after-hours or weekend rate?

Yes. Call it a shift differential. Example: “After-hours premium, 12 hr @ $15 = $180.”

Do I include permits and fire-rated inspections on the bill?

Only when required by the city or the building. Rules vary—check local rules. Example: “Fire-rated assembly inspection coordination, lump sum $150.”

How do I structure progress invoices with retainage on commercial work?

Bill by percent complete and note retainage held. Use the Drywall Invoice Template to show each area’s schedule of values. Example: “Level 2 North Wing, 60% of $8,000 = $4,800; Retainage 10% = −$480; Net this period $4,320.”

Can I bill for debris haul-off, lift, or scaffold rental?

Yes. List equipment and disposal as their own lines. Example: “Drywall lift rental, 3 days @ $35 = $105; Debris haul-off, 1 load @ $140 = $140.”
