We are the one-stop solution for everything on your to-do list, including answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about drywall services.

How do I know if my drywall needs repair?

Drywall continues to be one of the most popular wall coverings because it is long-lasting and durable. However, dings, scrapes, and other damage are inevitable. A few signs your drywall needs drywall service include:

  • Cracks often appear near windows and doors when a structure has settled or moved. While drywall cracks should be repaired to restore your drywall's looks and protect it from further damage, it's essential to address the underlying causes.
  • Whether your wall has a substantial hole, multiple nails and screw holes, or gouges and dings, professional drywall services can restore your walls.
  • Discoloration and stains on drywall are caused by moisture or water, typically from leaks. If the drywall is salvageable, it can be repaired. It's important to fix the water or moisture problem before the drywall is repaired.

How long does a typical drywall repair take?

Because every drywall repair is unique, the degree of damage, required repair methods, drying time for compounds and primers along with other factors determine how long the repair will take:

  • Screw and nail holes can usually be repaired in about an hour; however, the drying time for patching with spackle or joint compound varies and will determine when you can sand and paint.
  • Holes that are a few inches across require a more complex and layered approach and usually take one to two days. The drying time between drywall mud or compound coats takes up much of the repair time. Each layer needs to dry before it’s ready for sanding and painting.
  • Repairing large holes or drywall replacement across a wall can take three days or more. After securing the drywall, you need to apply compound and drywall tape over the seams. Each layer requires drying times before you reach the desired finish, can sand, and paint.

Can you match the texture of my existing drywall?

Yes. Our professional drywall repair service relies on specific tools, from skip trowels to texture spray guns, for a perfect match of your existing drywall finish. Whether we need to fix a hole in your wall or perform other drywall repairs, we will blend the edges so that the repair will blend seamlessly with your existing drywall texture.

What is the best way to paint new drywall?

To ensure a beautiful finish for your new drywall, follow these steps:

  • Drywall is porous, so applying a coat of primer before painting is essential. Primer made specifically for drywall helps the paint stick better for an even, more durable finish.
  • Choose high-quality acrylic or latex paint and use professional-grade brushes and rollers for the best results.
  • We recommend applying two coats of paint for full coverage and a uniform finish. Ensure the first coat is dry to the touch before applying the second.
