FLAT-RATE PRICE BOOK FOR DRYWALL PROS

The hole is small.
The finish work isn’t.

A homeowner sees a fist-size hole and expects a five-minute fix. What actually happens is backing, a patch, tape, three coats of mud feathered wide enough to disappear, a texture match, and a day of dry time between coats. Quote it by the hour and the customer watches the clock during the parts that look like nothing. A flat-rate price book prices the finish, not just the patch — one number, set from your rate, before the first coat goes on.

WHY FLAT-RATE BEATS HOURLY

Nobody pays extra for dry time. They still need it.

Joint compound has to dry between coats, and that time can’t be rushed without it showing in the finish. The customer doesn’t see why a “simple hole” takes two visits — they see a small hole and expect a small price. A flat price sets the number before you start: it covers the backing, the coats, the dry time, and the texture match, so doing it right doesn’t cost anyone extra.

Drywall pros who go looking for flat-rate software mostly find the same two names, both built for a company with a dispatch board. ServiceTitan’s price book sits behind a sales demo at roughly $245+ per technician per month. Profit Rhino costs less on paper — $39–59 per tech monthly — until its Pro tier adds a separate $1,499 “Success Coaching & Implementation” package. Neither is priced or built for one drywall pro pricing one patch. QuoteIron is.

QuoteIron’s 50 drywall templates don’t guess at what a patch or a room hang is worth in your market and print that number as gospel. Each one carries a typical labor-hour range and a mid-grade materials cost, structure only. Your rate and markup do the actual pricing, and you can override any single row without rebuilding the rest of the book.

WHAT A BOOK ROW LOOKS LIKE

The book, one row at a time.

This is what a flat-rate price book for drywall pros actually looks like — a row per job, typical hours, what’s included, and a price. These nine come straight from the QuoteIron drywall catalog.

These prices are examples. Every row below is priced at a sample rate of $95/hr labor + 30% materials markup, rounded to $5 — the book-builder’s defaults, not market rates. In the builder you set your own three numbers and every row reprices in one second. Some folks call it drywall flat rate pricing; others want a drywall price list template. Same thing — a book of firm prices, built off your own numbers, that you own outright.

Templates carry structure — typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing; every number is editable in the builder and the app.

Every trade below has its own flat-rate book in QuoteIron — real residential jobs, priced from your numbers. There’s also the multi-trade book builder and the main QuoteIron page.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Fair questions.

Can I edit every price?

Yes — every number. The 50 drywall templates carry structure only: typical hours and mid-grade materials cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing, and you can override any single row. QuoteIron never ships “market prices” it can’t stand behind.

Does it work offline?

The book-builder runs right in your browser. The full QuoteIron app installs to your phone’s home screen and works with no signal at all — gutted renovation sites, basements with no signal. It’s an app that lives on your phone, not a website that dies with the bars.

What does it cost after the free sample?

The sample book is free, no signup. The full app — the whole 50-job book, editing, 90-second quoting, invoices, e-signatures, and follow-ups — is $14 a month flat, or $140 a year. Fourteen-day trial, no card up front, and you cancel online in one click.

What about a full room addition or a whole-house hang?

That’s a custom quote — add your own line and price the big job your way. The book is for the repeat work — the patches, the texture matches, the ceiling repairs — quoted in about 90 seconds so the big hangs get your full attention.

Do I have to build the whole book myself before I can start quoting?

No. Choosing Drywall during onboarding seeds your book with the full 50 drywall templates already in it. Set your labor rate, materials markup, and rounding once, and every row prices itself — you add custom lines only for the jobs that don’t fit a template.

Does the book handle fire-rating or sound-code requirements?

No. Confirming the right board type for a fire-rated or sound-rated wall, and passing inspection, stay your call, same as always. The book prices labor and materials structure for the repair or install — it doesn’t replace your code knowledge.
