General
Interior and exterior panels are $1/sf. Are there any other options?
Indoor
Beadboard - 3/8" interior, $22. [1]- Prepainted, but 1/6" - $20 - [2]
- Prepainted beadboard - 3/16" - $11, but 3'x8' in sise [3]
- Prefinished 1/8" - 4'x8' - $15 - [4]
- MDF finish panels - $10 -
MDF + Wood Lath
- lathing strips - $33/50 of 4' long [5]
Drywall
- Cost is $1/2 per sf for materials, and $1/sf for labor. [6]. But that's just to hang. For finishing up to painting - it is $2-3/sf. Compare to beadboard industry standard of the Seed Eco-Home, at 75 cents/sf materials and DIY technique - and it's 3-4 times less costly.
- Compare to costs for an entire house - [7] - and note that drywall at $5-19k for a whole house - compared to $1.5k in beadboard for all the walls and ceilings. Drywall appears to be 3-12 times more expensive if you hire out, than if you do beadboard DIY.
