Professional Drywall Repair Services We Offer
Our comprehensive repair services cover all types of wall and ceiling damage, from minor cosmetic issues to major structural problems. We bring the right tools and expertise to handle any repair challenge in your home or business.
Hole and Puncture Repair
We fix holes of all sizes, from small nail holes to large punctures caused by doors, furniture, or accidents. Our team uses different repair methods depending on the hole size to ensure the strongest and most invisible fix.
Small holes get filled with compound and sanded smooth, while larger holes require patch panels cut to exact size. We always prime and prepare the repaired area so it's ready for your paint color.
Crack Repair and Prevention
Wall and ceiling cracks develop from house settling, temperature changes, or structural movement over time. We identify the cause of cracks to prevent them from returning after repair.
Our repair process includes cleaning out loose debris, applying reinforcing tape, and using flexible compounds that move with your home. We also check surrounding areas for potential crack development and address issues before they become visible.
Water Damage Restoration
Water damage can weaken drywall, cause stains, and create conditions for mold growth if not handled properly. We remove all damaged sections and test moisture levels in surrounding areas before starting repairs.
Our team uses moisture-resistant materials in areas prone to water exposure like bathrooms and kitchens. We also coordinate with other professionals if plumbing or roofing issues need attention before completing the drywall repair.
