Why Should You Hire a Professional for Drywall Repair?

Hiring us for residential or commercial drywall repair means getting results that last and look professionally finished. DIY repairs or rushed jobs often leave behind seams, sagging areas, or textures that don’t match. But with us, we make sure everything looks seamless and clean, no matter the space.

We go beyond surface fixes by checking for underlying issues like moisture damage or structural concerns before we begin repairs. We have the experience to repair walls and ceilings, including those with extensive damage from water or impact. Our focus is always on preserving as much of your existing drywall as possible while reinforcing it for long-term durability.

How Long Does Drywall Repair Take?

The duration of a drywall repair project depends on several factors, like the size of the damaged area, the finish level you're after, and how quickly materials can dry between steps. Small touch-ups are usually completed in a single visit, while more extensive repairs—especially those involving water damage or multiple coats—may take a bit more time.

We also consider factors like humidity and drying conditions before moving forward with each phase. That said, we always aim to work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of quality. Don’t worry—we’ll give you a clear turnaround estimate before we begin so you can plan your day with confidence.

Is It Better To Repair or Replace Drywall?

While repairs are always our first choice to help you avoid the cost and disruption of a full replacement, there are situations where replacing the drywall is the better option. We typically recommend installing new drywall when the board’s integrity is compromised. This includes cases of significant water saturation, visible warping, structural separation, or microbial contamination.

In most other scenarios, we can cut out the damaged section, reinforce the framing, and apply a solid patch that blends seamlessly and holds up over time. Replacement may also be necessary for high-end Level 5 finishes where patching would stand out or when code upgrades make a full install the more practical solution.

What Are The Common Drywall Problems We Fix?

Drywall problems can occur for a variety of reasons, including framing movement, moisture, and even poor installation.

Here are some of the most common issues we’re called to fix:

  • Nail pops and screw heads pushing through the surface
  • Cracks along seams, corners, or the ceilings
  • Water damage from leaks or high humidity
  • Tape joint failures and loose corner beads
  • Holes or dents from impact or previous renovations

Can Water-Damaged Drywall Be Repaired?

Water-damaged drywall can be repaired if the gypsum core has not crumbled, delaminated, or molded. Minor surface stains or damp patches can be cut out and patched after moisture readings return to safe levels. For drywall over insulated exterior walls, we need to confirm that the insulation isn’t retaining moisture before repairs. If water damage is from plumbing leaks or roof failure, we also inspect adjacent framing for rot or corrosion before patching.

Does Moldy Drywall Have To Be Replaced?

Drywall with active mold growth must be removed to prevent further contamination. Because mold spores are invasive, they quickly penetrate the porous gypsum core and cannot be fully eliminated with surface treatments alone. Industry best practices call for removing all visibly affected drywall, along with surrounding material, as needed, to ensure thorough remediation.

If your drywall has mold, there's no need to juggle multiple contractors to get the job done. We offer mold removal services and drywall repair in one streamlined service. From cleanup to restoration, we take care of everything, so you don’t have to coordinate with anyone else.

How To Repair Drywall on the Ceiling

Ceiling drywall repairs take a bit more care because of the added challenge of working against gravity. The goal is to create a secure, sag-free patch that blends in smoothly with the rest of the surface.

We use proper support behind the repair area to keep everything in place, then patch, tape, and apply the compound in stages to reduce the risk of cracking. If the ceiling has texture—like popcorn or knockdown—we’ll match it as closely as possible for a consistent look. Once everything is dry, we sand it smooth and prep it for the paint to ensure a clean, finished result. If you’re planning to paint the drywall, ask us about our in-demand painting services.
