Drywall installation in Los Angeles runs $2.50 to $4.50 per square foot of installed drywall, including materials, tape, texture, and primer coat. A 500 sq ft ADU drywall package runs $4,000 to $8,000. A full kitchen remodel drywall scope (new walls after demo and rough-in) runs $1,500 to $3,500. Knockdown and orange peel are the most common textures in Los Angeles residential construction.
What drywall texture is standard in Los Angeles homes?
The two most common drywall textures in Los Angeles residential construction are knockdown texture and orange peel texture. Smooth drywall (level 5 finish) is used in high-end and modern homes. Popcorn ceilings (stipple texture) are common in pre-1980 homes and are typically removed during remodels -- popcorn applied before 1978 may contain asbestos and requires testing before disturbance. APLA matches the existing texture in any remodel scope.
Do I need a permit for drywall work in Los Angeles?
Drywall installation itself does not require a separate permit, but the work that precedes it does. Framing, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins all require inspections before drywall is installed. APLA schedules all required rough inspections before closing walls on any project.
Does APLA do drywall for ADUs and remodels in Los Angeles?
Yes. APLA Construction handles complete drywall packages -- framing, hanging, taping, texture, and primer -- as part of ADU, remodeling, and addition projects throughout Los Angeles. We match existing textures for seamless results on remodel projects. Call (818) 818-4419 or email info@aplaconstruction.com.
