What people praise

  • One reviewer had bathroom walls ripped out and replaced with new drywall, with a detailed quote and a tidy cleanup

Our take: The most-reviewed name here and a good fit when drywall is part of a bathroom or small remodel. It is a handyman and remodeling outfit, not a drywall-only crew.

Our take: Best when the drywall repair ends in fresh paint. Choose it for patch-and-paint jobs rather than hanging new board across a whole room.

Behind the scorecards

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from a couple of hundred people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What shapes drywall pricing in Philadelphia

Drywall quotes move with the size of the area, the finish level (a surface ready for paint takes more coats), whether old plaster has to be skim coated first, and whether the job includes paint or sits inside a larger remodel. Ask each contractor for a written, itemized quote before work starts.

Drywall help across Philadelphia and nearby suburbs

Mendr, Liberties Handyman Services and Hopkins work from Philadelphia addresses, Gresham’s Drywall comes to you without a street address, and Reliable Drywall is in Willow Grove. Liberties names Northern Liberties, Fishtown, South Philadelphia and Fairmount, and Mendr names several surrounding counties. Searching for drywall near me? Each listing below shows a phone number and directions.

What to ask before a drywall crew starts

  • Is this a patch, a skim coat or new board, and what finish level will you leave it at?
  • Does the price include priming and painting, or only taping and sanding?
  • How do you handle dust, and will floors and furniture be covered?
  • If plaster is behind the wall, how do you plan to repair it?
  • Is the quote written and itemized, and what warranty applies?

Frequently asked questions

Which of these are drywall-first crews, and which are handymen?

Gresham’s Drywall and Reliable Drywall LLC describe drywall work as their core business. Mendr Home Repairs, Liberties Handyman Services and Hopkins Painting and Restoration are Google-listed as drywall contractors but also handle remodeling, handyman jobs or painting.

Can new drywall go over old plaster in a Philadelphia rowhome?

One Gresham’s Drywall customer had drywall hung over old plaster ceilings and several plaster walls skim coated in a house with plaster more than a century old. How a wall is handled depends on its condition, so ask the contractor to explain the plan on site.

Who can repair drywall after a leak or flood?

A Reliable Drywall customer had a repair done after a water heater flooded the first floor, Gresham’s lists leak-damaged repairs on its site, and a Hopkins reviewer had decades of wall and ceiling damage repaired, primed and painted. Check that the source of the water has been fixed before walls are closed.

Is there a drywall contractor on this page based outside the city?

Yes, Reliable Drywall LLC is in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Gresham’s Drywall lists no street address and comes to you, so confirm service areas by phone.

Where to start

For a full basement room or a stretch of new board, start with Reliable Drywall or Gresham’s. For a bathroom or small remodel that includes wall work, Mendr is the most reviewed name here. Whoever you pick, get the finish level and paint scope in writing.
