FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Do gypsum ceilings fall under this page?

Gypsum board ceilings and soffits are usually carried with drywall. We state the boundary in each estimate.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?
