Drywall Installation in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Drywall installation covers hanging and finishing new board for remodels, additions, new walls, and rooms gutted down to the studs. It happens after framing, insulation and the rough plumbing and electrical are done and inspected, and before trim and paint.
Board choice matters. Standard board works in most rooms, moisture-resistant board suits bathrooms and basements, and fire-rated board is used where the code requires it, such as walls and ceilings between an attached garage and the house. Longer sheets mean fewer seams, and screws set to the right depth prevent nail pops later. For the finish itself, see drywall finishing.
What a proper job includes
- Walkthrough and material takeoff for each room
- Check that framing, insulation and rough inspections are complete
- Board type selected for each area: standard, moisture or fire rated
- Sheets hung with minimal seams and correct fastening
- Corner bead, tape and joint compound applied
- Sanding to the finish level agreed in writing
- Cleanup and debris removal
What drives the price
- Square footage of walls and ceilings
- Ceiling height, vaulted areas and stairwells
- Board type: standard, moisture resistant, fire rated or sound
- Finish level and any texture
- Carrying material into upper floors or basements
- Number of corners, openings and arches
- Primer and paint included or not

Permits and licensing in Michigan
New walls, additions and basement finishing usually need a building permit, and many communities inspect before drywall covers framing, wiring and plumbing. Michigan allows ordinary repairs without a permit, but that exemption does not cover adding or removing walls. Confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit).
Drywall is not listed as its own Maintenance & Alteration trade by LARA. For paid residential work above a threshold set by state law, look for a LARA Residential Builder license, or ask the contractor which license covers the job, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
