Per square foot of floor area, depending on prep, ceilings, and trim. A full interior repaint lands lower per foot; heavy prep, accent walls, and detailed trim push it higher.

Smooth walls, invisible patches, a finish that lasts
Drywall and paint are the finish that everyone actually sees, and bad work shows from across the room: a patch that telegraphs through the paint, texture that does not match, seams that ghost in raking light. Florida's knockdown and orange-peel walls make a sloppy repair stand out even more, which is why texture matching is the part homeowners worry about most.
Hildebrand hangs, finishes, and paints drywall across Manatee, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties: new walls, repairs after a leak or a remodel, full re-drywalling, texture matching, and full interior repaints. We tape and finish to a smooth, even surface, match existing wall texture so a patch disappears, and prep properly before paint so the finish lasts. Stucco and textured walls common in Florida homes need extra prep, and we price that in honestly rather than rushing it.
Because this is finish work that follows the rest of a job, we most often do it as part of a remodel, addition, or restoration we are already running, so the walls are tied into one schedule and one standard.
What is included
- Drywall hanging, finishing, repairs, full re-drywalling, and texture matching
- Taped and finished to a smooth, even surface, with patches matched so they disappear

- Stucco and textured-wall prep priced in honestly, not rushed
- Folded into the larger remodel, addition, or restoration we are already running
Honest drywall and painting cost ranges
Drywall and paint pricing depends on prep, ceilings, trim, and how much wall texture has to be matched. These are typical Florida ranges to help you plan. Every project is quoted in writing after a free in-home consultation, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
Per square foot of board installed, hung and finished. New walls and full re-drywalling price by the board; texture matching and ceilings add to the finish work.
Repairs after a leak or remodel are quoted by the patch, not the foot. We match Florida knockdown and orange-peel texture so the patch disappears into the wall.
Where your project lands depends on the size of the space, how much prep the walls need, and whether stucco or textured walls have to be matched. Cosmetic drywall and paint is finish work, so it is most often folded into the price of the larger remodel, addition, or restoration we are already running. We walk all of that with you in person and put a firm price in writing, with no change-order surprises.

Drywall and painting questions, answered
Will the patch be invisible?
That is the goal, and it comes down to texture. Most Florida walls are knockdown or orange-peel, and a patch only disappears when the texture is matched and feathered out before paint. We finish the patch, match the surrounding texture, and prime and paint so it blends into the wall instead of standing out in raking light.
Do you match stucco and textured walls?
Yes. Stucco and textured walls are common here and they need extra prep to match cleanly. We price that prep in honestly up front rather than rushing it, so the repaired or new area reads the same as the rest of the wall.
How long until I can use the room?
It depends on scope. A small repair and repaint can be a day or two; new walls or a full re-drywall with texture and paint take longer because finishing, sanding, and paint each need time to dry. We give you a written timeline before we start and tell you when the space is ready to use.
Do you do drywall and paint on its own, or only as part of a remodel?
Both, but it shines as part of a larger job. Drywall and paint is finish work, so we most often run it inside a remodel, addition, or restoration we are already doing, which keeps the walls on one schedule and one standard. We also take standalone repair and repaint work.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. In-home consultations and written estimates are free. Call or text (941) 284-2218 to schedule.
