Drywall and Plaster Repairs with Professionals

The repairs can be a bit trickier than one may initially think, demanding a meticulous and experienced approach. Repairing your walls without the recommended methods can leave uneven and unappealing sections, or even structural damage. CertaPro’s experts have a long history in drywall repair, ensuring that the correct steps are taken to mitigate any form of disaster.

We’ve seen and heard an array of stories of those who have tried to complete their own repairs themselves. The end result is often a noticeable difference in the patched area compared to the rest of the wall or an inability to get the wall color uniform.

Common Drywall Issues

Damage on drywall can show through a painted surface if it’s not repaired properly. Here are a few of the most common issues we deal with here in Columbia.

Nail Pops

Sometimes nail heads can pop through the drywall causing annoying circles in your perfectly painted walls. This happens as screws or framing nails move from structural or settling tension in the walls. Do not grab a hammer to smack it back in, as you could cause more damage to the wall. Reset the nail or screw if needed and use the back end of a screwdriver to create a divot with the nail head in the center. Use joint compound to fill the area. Allow drying time, sand and paint.

Patches from Damage or Wall Hangings 

Any number of dings and bruises to the drywall can come out of everyday life. The repairs are similar in nature. Whether a chunk of wall was removed to make repairs behind the drywall, or a door swung open too quickly and made a quick punch through, or you just have paintings that you moved, the repairs are similar. For larger holes and cut throughs, use tape and cover the hole itself, then press a thick layer of joint compound onto it. For smaller, you may be able to do the drywall repair with only compound. Allow for dry time. Then sand and paint the wall. You’re sure to have a beautiful result.
