Drywall Repair in Charlotte, NC

What we repair

• Holes — doorknobs, furniture, a foot through the ceiling, anything from a nail hole to a section several feet across.
• Cracks — settling cracks above doors and windows, corner bead cracks, seams that have opened up.
• Nail pops and screw pops — the little round bumps and dimples that show up in rows across a ceiling.
• Water damage — stained, sagging or crumbling drywall from a roof leak, a burst pipe or an overflowing tub upstairs.
• Bad previous repairs — the patch someone else left flat, shiny or the wrong texture.
• Corner bead damage — dinged outside corners from moving furniture or a vacuum.

Why the texture is the whole job

Anyone can fill a hole. The reason most patches still look like patches is texture. Charlotte homes are mostly knockdown, orange peel or a light hand texture, and if the patch is smooth where the wall is textured, your eye finds it instantly — especially in daylight from the side.

We match the surrounding texture before we paint, then paint corner to corner or to a natural break so there's no halo of fresh paint sitting in the middle of an older wall. That last part matters more than people expect: a perfectly matched patch can still be obvious if it's painted as a square.

How long it takes

A single hole with matched texture and paint is usually one visit. Larger repairs, or anything where the drywall has to dry out first, get a schedule up front so you know what's happening and when. If a repair needs two visits because a compound coat has to cure overnight, we tell you that before we start, not after.

Repair or replace?

Patching is almost always cheaper and faster, and for holes, cracks and pops it's the right call. Replacement makes sense when a sheet is soft from moisture, when there's mold behind it, or when the damage covers most of a panel — at that point cutting out the sheet is less work than trying to save it. We'll tell you which one you're looking at when we come out, and we'll tell you if you don't need us at all.
