        "text": "Basement drywall costs depend on total square footage, ceiling height, framing layout, and the complexity of architectural features. Straight perimeter walls require less labor than basements with multiple partitioned rooms, closets, soffits, and stairwells. Wrapping steel support posts, boxing out low-hanging HVAC ductwork, and finishing window wells also increase cutting and taping labor. Choosing higher-grade moisture-resistant sheetrock or requesting smooth Level 5 drywall finishes instead of standard textured finishes will also adjust total project costs.",
