About Drywall Repair & Installation
Drywall is the foundation of your home's interior walls and ceilings, providing a smooth, paintable surface that defines your living spaces. Over time, drywall can develop cracks, holes, and water damage that not only look unsightly but can also indicate underlying structural issues. Professional drywall repair ensures seamless results that blend perfectly with your existing walls, maintaining your home's value and appearance. Our South Florida team has the experience to handle everything from small nail holes to major water damage restoration.
Problems We Solve
Recognize these issues? Our experienced technicians handle them every day.
Cracks from Foundation Settling
South Florida's sandy soil and limestone bedrock can cause homes to settle unevenly, creating diagonal or stair-step cracks in drywall. These typically appear at door frames and window corners.
Water Damage & Staining
Florida's humidity and frequent storms can lead to roof leaks and condensation issues. Water-damaged drywall often shows brown staining, bubbling, or soft spots that require professional attention.
Holes from Accidents & Wear
Door handles, moving furniture, and everyday life create holes of various sizes. From small nail holes to large impact damage, each requires specific repair techniques for invisible results.
Texture Mismatch After Repairs
DIY repairs often result in patches that stand out due to improper texture matching. Professional technicians match orange peel, knockdown, and smooth textures seamlessly.

Helpful Tips & Advice
Knowledge from our experts to help you make informed decisions and maintain your home.
Act Quickly on Water Damage
If you notice water stains or soft spots, address the source immediately. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in Florida's humidity.
Use the Right Primer
Always use a stain-blocking primer over repaired areas before painting. This prevents patched areas from showing through as foggy spots.
Check for Mold Behind Damage
Before repairing water-damaged drywall, ensure the area is completely dry and free of mold. Professional moisture testing is recommended for significant damage.
Document for Insurance
For storm or water damage, photograph all damage before repairs begin. This documentation is essential for insurance claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about drywall repair & installation services answered by our experts.
Each coat of joint compound needs 24 hours to dry completely in Florida's humidity. Multiple coats mean repairs typically need 2-3 days before painting. Rushing this process leads to cracking and visible patches.
No. Repaired areas must be fully dry and primed before painting. Using a stain-blocking primer is essential, or the repair will show through as a different texture or sheen.
Recurring cracks in the same location, soft or spongy drywall, musty odors, or cracks wider than 1/4 inch may indicate foundation issues, ongoing leaks, or mold growth requiring professional assessment.
Drywall damage from covered events like storms, burst pipes, or fire is typically covered. Damage from neglect, wear and tear, or flooding (without flood insurance) usually is not. We provide detailed documentation for insurance claims.
Spackle is best for small holes (under 1 inch) as it dries quickly and doesn't shrink much. Joint compound (mud) is better for larger repairs as it's stronger and easier to sand smooth, though it requires more drying time.
