Good to Know

Drywall repair may require more than one visit because joint compound must dry between coats. Texture matching and painting can be included or quoted separately depending on the project. Exact texture matches cannot always be guaranteed on older or previously repaired surfaces.

FAQ's

Can you match my existing wall texture?

Do you paint after the repair?

Painting can be included in the project or quoted separately.

Can you repair drywall after water mitigation?

Yes. Rebuilding lower sections of basement drywall after mitigation is a common type of project for us

How long does drywall repair take?

Small repairs may be straightforward, while larger patches often require multiple drying and finishing stages.
