Drywall contractors typically pay tax on materials (drywall sheets, joint compound, tape, screws) while installation labor and finishing labor may be tax-exempt. Tear-out and disposal of old drywall may have different tax treatment depending on your jurisdiction. EstimatePro's per-item taxable checkbox lets you handle mixed tax scenarios. After the drywall goes up, someone has to paint it — use our free painting contractor estimate template for finishing coats. Enter your local rate and the app calculates Subtotal → Tax → Total instantly.
