FAQs
How much does drywall repair cost?
The cost depends on the size of the area and the extent of the damage. We’ll assess the walls or ceiling and provide a free estimate for the necessary repairs.
What does the drywall repair service include?
Our services include filling holes, smoothing surfaces, taping seams, sanding, fixing popped nails, and repairing edges. We also offer painting and texture-matching services.
How quickly can my drywall be fixed?
We offer express repairs for most drywall issues, including cracks and holes. This can be especially helpful if you’re moving or selling your home.
How do I know if I have settlement cracks in my drywall?
Settlement cracks in walls, usually found around doors and windows, are common in most homes. While some may indicate foundation issues, most are cosmetic and can be repaired by a drywall repair professional. Normal settlement cracks include hairline cracks, diagonal cracks from door and window corners, drywall cracks around wall openings, and nails popping out of the drywall.
What are the most common plaster defects?
Cracks—including stress cracks—uneven surfaces, blistering, bubbling, and softness, are all common plaster issues.
What’s the difference between plaster and drywall?
The main difference between plaster and drywall is the composition. Drywall consists of dried gypsum with a paper backing and uses spackle that dries by evaporation, which must be sanded and coated multiple times. Plaster can be applied to wood lath, masonry, or gypsum lath, and it sets through a chemical reaction rather than evaporation.
What can damage a ceiling?
Ceilings can become damaged for several reasons, such as roof leaks, plumbing problems, or air conditioning systems. Other common causes include normal wear and tear and material breakdown.
When is it time to call a professional for ceiling repairs?
You should contact a professional if you notice large areas of mold, potential asbestos, serious problems like big cracks or sagging, or if you’re unsure about handling complex repairs on your own.
What should I do if my ceiling has asbestos?
If asbestos is in your ceiling, DO NOT try to fix it yourself. It can be hazardous to your health and increase the risk of lung cancer. You should hire a professional to remove it safely.
What is your corner-to-corner paint matching service?
We utilize corner-to-corner paint matching to ensure a seamless blend on the affected wall or ceiling after repairs. This takes the guesswork out of paint matching and saves you multiple trips to the paint store.
What's the hardest part about drywall and plaster repairs?
Matching wall or ceiling textures and paint is the most challenging part of repairing drywall or plaster. Getting the new surface to blend with the existing texture and paint perfectly requires specialized expertise.
Do you handle the entire repair process or just the texture and paint matching?
We handle the job from start to finish, from cleaning and prepping surfaces to applying new texture material and paint, plus the cleanup afterward.
Do you offer any warranties on your popcorn ceiling repair work?
We provide a complete satisfaction guarantee, which includes a 1-year craftsmanship warranty on all popcorn ceiling repair work, giving you confidence and peace of mind in the quality of our services.
Why might repairing a popcorn ceiling be better than removing it entirely?
Repairing popcorn ceilings can be more cost-effective than removing them, especially when the ceiling is in good condition with only minor issues like stains or cracks. The popcorn texture can help hide imperfections, such as drywall panels that weren’t properly taped. This makes repairs the smarter choice in many situations.
What steps do you take to protect homes during popcorn ceiling repair?
Our crew treats your home as if it were their own by thoroughly covering walls, floors, and furniture before, during, and after the project. They also protect crown molding, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and other home features and clean the entire room afterward for a mess-free finish.
What's included when you handle a painting job?
When you hire us for painting services, we clean and prep your surfaces, apply paint, and clean up afterward. This provides professional results while saving you time and energy.
What do you paint?
Our professionals ensure a flawless finish, whether you need wall painting, ceiling painting, or cabinet painting.
