It is used euphemistically. The common but rather rude expression is 'it scared the shit out of me'. Rather than saying that, they changed the word to be another similar sounding word. A similar one is when people say Firetruck - when they mean a word that starts with F and ends with the same last three letters!

It means it scared you a great deal. I think that 'sheetrock' is a euphemism for another slang word not used in polite society!
