Free Drywall Contract Template

How to Use This Template

1. 1

   Fill in your company’s name, contact information, insurance details, and the client’s full name and property address. For new construction, note the general contractor’s information and confirm that framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins have been inspected and approved before drywall installation begins.

2. 2

   Specify the finish level using the industry-standard GA-214 scale (Level 0 through Level 5). Level 3 is standard for textured walls, Level 4 is standard for flat paint or light textures, and Level 5 (skim coat) is required for high-gloss paint or critical lighting conditions. The finish level determines the amount of labor and directly impacts the price, so both parties must agree on this upfront.

3. 3

   Include texture specifications if applicable. Instead of "match existing texture," write "Apply knockdown texture using hopper gun at medium density to match existing texture in adjacent rooms. Contractor will apply test patch on a 4x4 area for client approval before full application." Texture matching is subjective, so requiring an approved sample patch prevents disputes.

4. 4

   Add a warranty clause addressing the most common drywall callbacks: nail pops, joint cracking, and seam visibility. State that minor nail pops and hairline cracks within the first year are normal settling and will be repaired once at no charge. Cracking caused by structural movement, foundation settling, or moisture intrusion is not covered under the drywall workmanship warranty.
