KEY FEATURES
WALLBOARD SHEET COUNT
Calculate exactly how many wallboard sheets you need for walls and ceilings. Supports 4x8, 4x9, 4x10, 4x12, and 54" wide sheets. Enter room dimensions and automatically subtract doors and windows. Includes waste factor customization for cuts, corners, and spares.
JOINT COMPOUND, TAPE & SCREWS
Estimate joint compound in gallons or buckets, paper or mesh tape in linear feet, and wallboard screws by weight or count. Account for finish level (Level 1 to Level 5), joint spacing, and ceiling height. Avoid over-ordering or running short mid-installation.
