What is the standard rate for hanging drywall?

Question:We estimated the job to be about 24 sheets. The ceiling peaks at 12' in the center. Nothing special. 4 light fixtures to cut and 3 can lights.

Answers:
It depends what area you live in. You can pay people by the job or by the hour. If you pay by the hour, some people take all day long.

In the Houston area, it runs about $8 to $10 per hour. No matter what city you are in I'm sure there are plenty of qualified people for the job.
