What to write when a drywall repair price goes quiet
If $1,840 is why they have not replied, change the scope or explain the number. Do not invent a lower price in the follow-up.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Why the number is the number
A spot match is less money and more risk of flash. A full skim costs more and paints cleaner. The bid includes hang, tape, and a texture match on the water-stained ceiling and the two patched walls.
What you can take out
The line you can remove is paint, which your painter should do after the texture dries. Do not include paint in a drywall price unless you are actually painting it. Drywall bids seem small, so they wait behind larger projects, or behind a debate about whether to skim the whole ceiling.

What is in the drywall repair price
Hi Ivan, If $1,840 for the drywall repair looks high, here is what it covers: hang, tape, and a texture match on the water-stained ceiling and the two patched walls. I can take out paint, which your painter should do after the texture dries and send a revised number. I do not want to cut the work and leave the price looking the same. Thanks, Casey Nguyen Nguyen Drywall
