I'm looking at purchasing a home that is 1200 square feet. It is gutted down to the studs. How much might it cost to do drywall on the home if I did it myself? And what about if I hired a general contractor? I'm just looking for a ballpark figure, any contributions will help. Thanks a lot

I agree with littlecaesarsdad. Usually, you can find the drywall price by doing this little trick:
Take the floor square footage, which in your case is
1,200. Multiply the floorspace by about 5, to be safe.
(This would give you a ballpark figure of all your wall and
ceiling surfaces, and a little over to be safe). This gets
you at about 6,000. That's roughly how many sq ft of
drywall it would take to do your home throughout,
assuming you have 8' ceilings.
Then multiply your footage (6,000) by your area's going
rate for hanging and finishing. A good company usually
gets around $1.00/ft give or take 20 cents depending on
area. That brings your total to about $6,000, which may
be a high total just to be safe.
That being said, littleceasarsdad's answer of about $5,500 is right on. He must be a good drywaller. I'd hire him if he were local to you! Knock off $3500-4000 for contractor's labor if you want to do it yourself...but beware, everyone THINKS they can do it themselves, but it's not nearly as easy as it seems...

There is no way to answer this on here. What type of finishes are you going to use? What is the wall space? What type of flooring? How are they going to hook the water in for the bathroom? Take a copy of your plan to a full service lumber yard (NOT HD or Lowe's). They can do a material take off for you. You will probably need to go to a flooring store for that to get your floor coverings. Good luck.

A contractor would charge about $1.75 per square foot of wall and ceiling areas. Materials would be about $0.44 per square foot of wall and ceiling areas.

About $5000-$5500 to hire all out including materials.
About $1500-$1800 for materials to do yourself.

depends on where you live, contactors and supply stores prices vary from place to place. Call a contractor that does free estimates and have him come in and give you an estimate.
