Drywall Takeoff Services USA

Every drywall job starts with one question: how much material do I actually need? Get it wrong and you're either over-ordering sheetrock that sits on-site until it gets damaged, or you're running short mid-installation and delaying the entire schedule. Neither outcome is good for your margins or your reputation. At USA Estimating Solutions, our Drywall Takeoff Services are built specifically to solve that problem — giving drywall contractors, general contractors, and subcontractors across the USA the precise material quantities, accurate labor hours, and zip-code-based pricing they need to bid with total confidence and build without costly surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a drywall takeoff include and what materials are quantified?

A professional drywall takeoff quantifies every material component of your drywall scope, organized by floor, wall type, partition section, and ceiling area. This includes gypsum board sheets (measured in square feet and converted to panel counts), metal or wood framing studs and tracks, drywall screws, joint compound and mud, corner beads, acoustical insulation, sheathing, and any specialty boards required by the project specifications — such as moisture-resistant drywall in bathrooms and kitchens, fire-rated Type X gypsum for UL-rated wall assemblies, or impact-resistant panels in high-traffic commercial areas. All openings including doors, windows, and mechanical penetrations are measured and deducted from the gross quantities. Our takeoffs are organized in Excel spreadsheets by CSI Division 09 and include color-coded plan markups so your team can visually verify every measurement before ordering materials or submitting a bid.

Why should I outsource my drywall takeoffs instead of doing them in-house?

Drywall takeoffs are time-intensive and detail-sensitive. A single commercial project with multiple floors, dozens of wall types, and specialty assemblies can take an in-house estimator several days to measure and price accurately — time that your team could be spending on project management, client relationships, and business development. Outsourcing your drywall takeoffs to USA Estimating Solutions means you get a complete, accurate, and bid-ready deliverable in 24 to 48 hours, without carrying the overhead of a full-time estimating department. You also eliminate the risk of measurement errors that come from estimators who are unfamiliar with US framing standards, UL assembly requirements, or local material and labor pricing. Our team has handled thousands of drywall takeoffs across residential, commercial, and industrial projects nationwide — so every estimate we deliver reflects real construction knowledge, not just software-generated numbers.

How much do professional drywall takeoff services cost in the USA?

The cost of drywall takeoff services depends on the size of the project, the number of wall types and ceiling systems involved, and the level of detail required in the estimate. A small residential project with straightforward partitions and standard gypsum board will cost less than a large multi-story commercial development with fire-rated assemblies, acoustical ceiling systems, and specialty finishes across multiple floor plates. At USA Estimating Solutions, our pricing is transparent and competitive, and we provide a free quote within minutes of reviewing your project plans. Most drywall takeoffs are completed and delivered within 24 to 48 hours, including a complete Excel spreadsheet with material quantities, labor hours, zip-code-based pricing, and color-coded plan markups. Contact us with your project details and we'll get pricing back to you immediately.

What file formats do you accept and how do I submit my drywall plans?

Submitting your plans is straightforward. We accept all standard drawing and document formats including PDF, DWG, DXF, DWF, TIFF, JPG, and more — so whatever format your architect or engineer provides, we can work directly from it without any conversion on your end. Simply upload your drawings through our website, email them to our team, or share a Dropbox or project portal link and we will access them directly. Once we receive and review your plans, we send you a quote that includes our service fee and the estimated turnaround time for your specific project scope. After confirmation and payment, our drywall estimating team begins work immediately. You receive your completed takeoff via email as an Excel spreadsheet with detailed material quantities, labor costs, and color-coded plan markups — everything your team needs to submit a bid or place a material order with confidence.
