Did you know? The average Florida home contains over 7,000 square feet of drywall across walls and ceilings, making proper maintenance essential for long-term aesthetics and indoor air quality [Florida Building Commission].
Drywall can develop damage for many reasons, and identifying the type helps determine the right repair process. Our experience allows us to detect the cause and provide durable, lasting solutions that prevent recurring problems.
For homes with extensive moisture exposure, we coordinate with our mold remediation and flood cleanup services to ensure every area is completely safe and dry.
We’ve refined our repair process to deliver professional results every time, efficiently, dust-free, and done right.
We start with a full evaluation to identify the type and extent of drywall damage. From nail pops to severe cracks or water stains, you’ll receive a clear, itemized quote. View transparent options on our pricing page.
Before work begins, we protect furniture, floors, and fixtures using drop cloths and plastic covers. This ensures a spotless workspace and keeps dust under control.
We use materials such as drywall joint compound, fiberglass tape, or 6-inch drywall knives depending on damage severity. For structural repairs, we reinforce with scrap lumber backing for durability. Our approach ensures that even large drywall holes are smoothed and filled without visible seams.
After the compound dries overnight, we perform multi-stage sanding using fine-grit sandpaper to match your wall’s existing texture. This creates an even surface ready for priming and painting.
We complete a meticulous walkthrough with every homeowner to confirm quality. Once approved, our team cleans the workspace thoroughly. You can see our craftsmanship in the project gallery.
