Tell them that sounds fair, then tell them you plan on doing all the mowing and edging yourself, you just need them to clean up the flowerbeds & blow the concrete off. How does $10 sound?
Poof......They gone...
Same principle applies to the OP.
But to charge me more because I did some of the work as almost like a penalty for not using you, nah. Not cool.
The guy above said he is going to charge a person double assuming its hung just like he would do it. Why, if its just like you would do it? you charging me more because you didn't get that work?

It’s easier to do a job right from the beginning than fix crappy work. The OP may do a bang up job, but if he doesn’t do it for a living, I doubt a contractor will appreciate his work.
I guess I was reading that even if it looked fine as if you hung it, double charge is still happening.

10-4. I'm on the other side of town near Boerne but might be able to come help you one or two weekends coming up. I haven't worked in Drywall for years and my hanging skills are prolly a little rusty but I'm good with finishing (tape/float/etc). Shoot me your number in a PM and I'll ping ya today or tomorrow.

watch this guy and the whole series, I think its one the best out there.
And if you're hanging sheetrock on the ceiling, get you a lift. They are pretty cheap and you can always resell it and get your money back when you're through.

It can work out but not very often.
Going in behind someone else who did not do the job correctly, or up to my standards creates more work therefore more $$$.
