South Carolina Drywall Contractors

Hiring a Drywall Contractor in South Carolina

Buildermuse currently lists 7 drywall contractors in South Carolina, averaging 4.6 stars across 231 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. Most of the crews above operate out of Blythewood, Boiling Springs, and Honea Path.

South Carolina requires licensing for all construction work. Five license group classifications (I through V) determine project monetary limits. Reciprocity agreement with North Carolina. Confirm credentials with the South Carolina Contractors Licensing Board at (803) 896-4686 before work begins. Licenses renew on a two-year cycle (June 30 of even years). Expect a $100 state application fee. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the South Carolina market sets the floor: construction workers here average $34.50 an hour — about $71,760 a year — across 119,051 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.
