Professional Drywall Repair & Replacement
Drywall repair and replacement restores walls and ceilings damaged by water, fire, impact, or age. Quality drywall finishing is both art and science—proper technique produces invisible repairs matching surrounding surfaces.
We repair everything from small holes to full room hangings. Our finishers achieve level 4 or level 5 finishes (smooth wall or paint-ready) appropriate to each application. Texture matching restores consistency with existing walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can water-damaged drywall be saved?
Depends on extent. Brief exposure (hours) may dry successfully. Extended saturation (24+ hours) or water above 18" requires removal—drywall wicks water higher than the visible line and harbors mold.
How do you match existing texture?
We sample your existing texture, test matching techniques, and apply matching material and pattern. Knockdown, orange peel, popcorn, and smooth finishes each have specific application methods.
Why does drywall finishing take multiple days?
Joint compound requires 24 hours dry time between coats. Three coats minimum are required for invisible seams. Rushing this process results in visible repairs and cracking.
