How long does it take to drywall a home?

It all depends on the size of the room. But on average, a professional sheetrock contractor takes 4-8 hours to hang drywall and finish a room ready for you to paint.

However, if you take this project on yourself, the time to hang drywall could be substantially more. More on that next.

Can you install drywalling yourself?

In theory, yes. However, you'll need some impressive DIY skills and an extra pair of hands.

A good set of tools is also important, and you might need to hire a plasterboard lifter to make the job easier. That's because drywall is a hefty piece of kit, with each sheet measuring 4 x 8ft and weighing between 20 - 35kg.

It's also worth noting that once the drywall is in place, a fair amount of prep is involved before your walls are paint-ready. Joints and screw holes are sealed with tape and joint compound. Then everything needs to be sanded down for a smooth finish.
