Step-by-Step Procedure for Drywall Water Damage Repair

Step 1: Assess the Damage

• Activity: Inspect the affected areas to determine the extent of water damage.
• Cost: Generally included in the overall project assessment; may incur a small fee.

Step 2: Demolition

• Activity: Team Demo removes all compromised drywall and any damaged fixtures.
• Labor Cost: Varies based on the area; for example, if you use 2 laborers for a day:
  • Price: $200 each laborer x 2 = $400

Step 3: Insulation Replacement (if necessary)

• Activity: If the insulation is compromised, it should be replaced.
• Team Insulation Cost: $450 per day.
  • If one day of insulation work is needed: Price: $450

Step 4: Drywall Installation

• Activity: Hang new drywall sheets in the affected area.
• Team Drywall Cost: $12 per sheet.
  • If you need 10 sheets: Price: $12 x 10 = $120

Step 5: Mud & Tape

• Activity: Apply joint compound (mud) and tape to the seams.
• Team Mud & Tape Cost: $12 per sheet.
  • If you have the same 10 sheets to mud and tape: Price: $12 x 10 = $120

Step 6: Primer Application

• Activity: Apply PVA primer.
• Team Painting Primer Cost: $275 for each laborer.
  • If using 2 laborers: Price: $275 x 2 = $550

Step 7: Final Painting

• Activity: Apply final paint.
• Team Final Painting Cost: $550 – $1,200 per room.
  • Assuming a moderate estimate of $800 for the room: Price: $800

Example Total Budget Breakdown

1. Demolition: $240 (2 Laborers)
2. Insulation Replacement: $450
3. Drywall Installation: $120 (10 sheets)
4. Mud & Tape: $120 (10 sheets)
5. PVA Primer: $550 (2 Laborers)
6. Final Painting: $800

Total Estimated Cost:

• Total = $240 + $450 + $120 + $120 + $550 + $800 = $2,280

Notes:

• The total estimated cost varies depending on the number of laborers, the extent of the water damage, and the square footage involved.
• Projects can start from $1,500 to $3,500 based on your initial statement, but extensive damage could escalate to $10,500.
• Always consult a professional for a precise estimate based on your specific situation.
• All material used is accounted for and charged separately, with rising and changing costs in the industry, all material will be detailly assessed and accounted.
