Drywall problems specific to South Florida

Water damage from AC and roof leaks

Air handler condensation lines, roof leaks during storm season, and window leaks are the big three. Wet drywall sags, stains, and grows mildew inside the wall. We cut out damaged material back to dry, sound board, check for mold, replace with new drywall, tape, mud, sand, and texture to match.

Settling cracks in newer homes

New construction in Palm Beach Gardens, Boynton Beach, and western Boca settles for years. Cracks appear at the corners of doors and windows and along ceiling seams. These need flexible mesh tape and a proper three-coat mud job, not a smear of spackle.

Texture matching

Most South Florida homes have knockdown or orange-peel texture, and a smooth patch on a textured wall is obvious from across the room. We match the existing texture with hopper-applied or hand-applied compound so the repair disappears after paint.

Our drywall repair process

  • Assess. Find the cause of any water damage before repairing the symptom.
  • Cut out and replace. Damaged drywall removed to sound material; new board fitted and fastened.
  • Tape and mud. Three coats of joint compound, feathered wide so the patch does not telegraph.
  • Sand. Dust-controlled sanding.
  • Texture. Matched to the existing wall or ceiling.
  • Prime and paint. Patches primed so they do not flash through the finish coat.

FAQ

Drywall Repair questions

Can you match my wall texture after a repair?

Yes. Knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, and smooth are all matched so the repair disappears after paint.

Do you repair water-damaged drywall?

Yes. We remove damaged material back to dry board, check for mold, replace, and finish. The leak must be fixed first or the damage returns.

Do you do drywall repair without painting?

We can, but most customers have us paint the repaired area or the whole wall at the same time since a patch always needs paint.

Why do my patches show through the paint?

Unprimed joint compound absorbs paint differently than the surrounding wall and flashes. We prime every patch before finish coats.

How long does drywall repair take?

Small patches take a day including drying time between coats. Larger water damage repairs take two to three days.
