It sounds like you're asking about the price difference between drywall, a brand or typo version of "DrywaLL," and plaster. Let me break it down for you clearly:


🛠️ 1. Drywall (Standard)

Also known as gypsum board or sheetrock.

  • Cost (material only):

    • $0.40 to $0.65 per sq ft for standard 1/2" drywall

    • $10–$15 per 4x8 sheet

  • Installed cost (materials + labor):

    • $1.50 to $3.00 per sq ft


❓ 2. "DrywaLL" (Capitalized)

This seems like it might be a typo or a stylized brand name.
If you're referring to a specialty drywall product (e.g., mold-resistant, soundproof, fire-rated):

  • Cost range:

    • $0.60 to $1.25 per sq ft

    • Specialty boards can be $15–$25 per 4x8 sheet

  • Installed cost:

    • $2.50 to $5.00 per sq ft

Let me know if you meant a specific product name or brand.


🧱 3. Plaster (Traditional or Veneer)

Used in older homes or high-end finishes. Can be hand-applied or sprayed.

  • Cost (materials + labor):

    • $3.00 to $10.00+ per sq ft

    • Labor-intensive, hence the higher price


🔍 Summary Comparison (Installed Cost)

Material Low-End Price High-End Price
Drywall $1.50 $3.00
Specialty "DrywaLL" $2.50 $5.00
Plaster $3.00 $10.00+
