Hello. if you can find out how many sheets or sqft of drywall you will need it will help find out the cost. Material pricing is based off Home Depot in Toronto,ON.

MATERIAL for drywall and finishing the drywall ready for prime is around $0.50sqft of drywall. If you have a shower or bathtub to drywall, add Denshield drywall which is around a $1.28sqft.

Im not sure if the 600sqft you gave us is floor area or drywall sqft, but for the sake of the example, I will say it's drywall sqft.

600sqft of drywall x $0.50sqft= $300.00+$123.00(denshield my estimate for one bathtub)=$423.00 TOTAL COST OF MATERIAL estimated but we will round that to $450.00

Now for labour. Since it's a small job, most trades will just charge a flat fee and not charge per sqft. My guess would be

Drywall installer $500.00 to $1000.00

Drywall finisher $1000.00 to $1500.00

best case $1950.00

worst case $2950.00

or it could be anywhere in between.

Don't forget you have to either pay for delivery which has an additional cost or pick it up yourself. Also, either you carry it down or you pay someone to carry the material inside. Also, you have to keep in mind the cost of disposing the material waste.

Now, if you install drywall and finish it yourself, you will save on the labour costs:). But keep in mind you may need a helper to install the drywall and you will need to buy tools and drills if you don't have them already which will increase your cost.

I hope this helps!!!!!
