Residential Drywall Repair and Finishing in Richmond, VA

Our drywall services include drywall repair and finishing. We will first assess the condition and structure of your drywall to confirm that it can be repaired rather than replaced. We can fix all drywall problems, no matter how big or small. We specialize in drywall repair of these common drywall issues:

• Popped nails. These occur with the natural expansion and contraction of the wood behind your drywall. As the temperature changes, the wood "breathes," forcing nails outwards until they are visible on the surface of your wall. To repair them, we need to remove them or drive them back under the surface. We'll smooth the area over with drywall mud, sand it, and paint it to match your existing wall color.
• Water damage. When leaks happen behind your walls, or flooding occurs within your home, your drywall–which is essentially made from paper–soaks up the moisture. The result is a soggy-looking and feeling wall that will begin to fall apart. To repair it, we'll need to cut away the affected area and apply a drywall patch or an entirely new sheet if the moisture has spread far enough.
• Drywall cracks. Cracks can occur because of the natural expansion and contraction in your home, but they can also be a sign of foundation damage. If your home does have foundation damage, this pressing issue needs to be addressed right away so that your home does not suffer structural damage, too. If the cracks have occurred for another reason, we can fix them by filling the gaps, sanding, and repainting the affected area.
• Holes. Whether there is a pinhole in your wall or a gaping hole the size of a refrigerator, it's no secret that drywall can be damaged relatively easily. In most cases, we can use a drywall patch to cover a hole, but larger areas may need an entire sheet. Holes can let in drafts, pests, and insulation, so it's always a good idea to repair these right away.
• Loose joint tape. Joint tape supports the corners of drywall sheets. If it's loose, the drywall can sag. This can happen when drywall tape gets wet, so we'll need to check that you don't have a leak behind your walls. If you do, we can point you in the direction of a certified plumber to resolve this issue before we repair your drywall.
• Dented corner beads. Corner beads are L-shaped metal strips that cover sheets of drywall. They aren't visible after you have applied enough compound, though with regular wear and tear, they may begin to dent and those dents can become visible on the surface of your walls. These will need to be sanded and smoothed out with plaster. 
• Marks from furniture or dents from door knobs. These cosmetic flaws may seem small, but if you have enough of them, they can impact the look of your room. Get them taken care of with a quick drywall repair. We'll sand down dents and scratches and apply drywall mud or filler to create a smooth, bump-free result.
• Termite or other pest damage. Because drywall is made from paper, pests make it their daily meal. Once they get into the areas behind your walls, they'll begin eating your drywall and creating holes. This isn't just a disaster because of the way it looks, but it also invites the pests to come through your walls and into your home. Who knows what else they'll eat next?
• Tight joints. If there is not enough space between the drywall sheets, cracking will occur. This mistake normally happens after an improper installation, which is just one of the reasons why hiring a professional service provider is so important.
• Bad drywall finishing. Does your wall look unfinished and messy with obvious gaps or mesh? You have been the victim of a bad drywall finisher. Let us help give you the flawless look you were initially dreaming of by re-finishing your walls.
• Poorly cut drywall around outlets or switches. Uneven cutting around your outlets can look messy and leave gaps. These gaps, though small, can let in pests–plus, they just don't look great.
• Bubbles. You will see bubbles in your drywall when there is a lack of joint compound on your drywall tape. Without enough compound, the natural expansion and contraction of your wall will cause that tape to stretch, resulting in bubbles that show on the surface of your walls. To fix this, we will need to scrape or sand away the bubbles and apply a primer before painting over with your existing wall color.
