Drywall Installation for Remodels & Raised Homes in Gulfport, MS | Hung, Taped & Finished for Coastal Conditions
When the framing inspection is signed off, the room needs board. Gulfport Drywall Repair hangs and finishes new sheetrock for kitchen and bath remodels, additions, garage conversions, and the enclosed spaces under raised homes across the coast. Homeowners hire us directly; remodelers bring us in as their drywall sub.
Hung and finished to level 4, figure roughly $1.90 to $3.60 per square foot in the Gulfport market. We quote the room with board type and finish level in writing.
Board choices on the coast
Half-inch standard on interior walls, five-eighths on ceilings so it holds flat in a hot attic, mold-resistant on bathroom, laundry, and exterior walls, cement board behind tile, and five-eighths Type X on any wall or ceiling separating a garage or an under-house enclosure from living space. Putting the right sheet in the right room is most of what keeps us from coming back for a water damage call later.
Raised homes and the space below
Post-2005 elevation rules put a lot of houses on pilings or tall stem walls, and owners enclose the space below for storage, a workshop, or a game room. Those enclosures are the wettest spaces on the property. Mold-resistant board goes in held off the slab, with fire separation where the floor above is living space, and we tell you plainly what the flood rules allow before we start.
Hanging it tight
Ceilings before walls. Sheets run horizontally with staggered joints. Screws set just under the paper, never through it. Boxes cut clean enough that the cover plate hides the edge. Bead on every outside corner. A tight hang is what makes the finish fast and flat instead of a week of fighting ridges.
Additions on older houses
Tying new board into a 1960s ranch in Mississippi City or Handsboro means dealing with out-of-plane walls and old orange peel texture. We shim to flush, tape the transition with a flexible detail, and re-texture across the joint so the new room does not announce itself.

What does it cost to drywall a room in Gulfport?
Roughly $1.90 to $3.60 per square foot hung and finished to level 4. A 12 by 14 bedroom with 8-foot ceilings is about 580 square feet, so somewhere around $1,100 to $2,100 before paint. Ballpark; we quote the room.

Yes. Tape-and-finish only is routine, and we flag hanging problems before we start.
