Montana Drywall Contractors

Hiring a Drywall Contractor in Montana

Buildermuse currently lists 3 drywall contractors in Montana, averaging 4.7 stars across 112 verified Google reviews. Every firm listed clears the 4.0-star bar, and with ratings this close together, review volume is the better tiebreaker — a 4.6 backed by hundreds of reviews usually beats a 5.0 with a dozen. The firms above are concentrated in Bozeman and Billings.

Montana requires construction contractor registration but does not require an exam. This is a registration system rather than a licensing system. Electrical and plumbing have separate licensing requirements. Confirm credentials with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry at (406) 444-6880 before work begins. Licenses renew on an annual cycle (January 1). Expect a $135 state application fee.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Montana market sets the floor: construction workers here average $33.33 an hour — about $69,316 a year — across 38,556 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
