What is a reasonable price to pay for someone to tape & mud a standard double car garage?
To mud and tape a standard two vehicle garage, including all the materials the price range may vary from $ 700 to $ 850, depending the location and how many corner beads has.
That can vary on several factors. Ceiling height, type and linear footage of cornerbead, whether you are painting or texturing the ceiling, how well the drywall was installed etc. If you're paying under $1200 you're getting a good deal. Make sure they at least have wcb coverage.
To tape and mud a 24'x24' double garage (1,344 sq. ft) should cost somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1800.
If finished taping ready for paint anywhere between $1200-$1500 is fair its mostly the trips the taper has to make that justifies the pricing. If your just looking for a single coat known as firetaping it shouldn't cost more than $800.
Approximately 75 cents a square foot.
