Our Drywall Repair Service
Drywall is a common interior building material for most modern homes built these days. It’s sturdy and fire-resistant, making it a perfect building material for most homes. However, like most things, nothing is perfect, and drywall is not immune to damage from external sources. A pipe could have busted, resorting to an emergency call from your plumber, or your home needs electrical repairs done. Either way, sometimes contractors tend to leave a series of holes behind after these repairs are fixed.

Common Drywall Problems
Before you are looking to repaint the interior of your home, it’s best to fix any drywall damage for a smooth painting application and finish. Our CertaPro Painters® painting experts have years of experience in drywall repair, making it easy for them to deliver impeccable results quickly and efficiently. There are many factors that can damage drywall. Some of the most common types of damaged drywall include:
Removals
Removing anything attached to the wall, whether it be tile, wallpaper, or even objects like mirrors, can lead to pieces of drywall coming off.
Holes
Holes are usually caused by accidental forceful impact, like a door being slammed open or someone falling into the wall. Depending on what made the impact, you could be looking at anything from a small puncture to a worrying crater.
Cracks
If there are cracks in the drywall, it can either be plastered over so they are not visible or the entire drywall panel should be replaced.
Water Damage
Usually caused by leaking pipes, water damage weakens the structural integrity of the drywall and can even be a health hazard. Even if there are no visible water patches, moisture in the walls or ceilings can lead to other problems like cracks and loosened joint tape.
Furniture Scuffs
Careless furniture handling can lead to pencil-like marks at best and holes in the drywall at worst.
Dents
It happens often. When someone knocks into the wall, it can create a dent. Usually, the dents can’t be repaired, but the panels need to be replaced. This is the only way to make the paint job look flawless.

Priming Drywall for Paint
Priming drywall after a repair is an extremely important step that should never be overlooked. Due to the natural texture of drywall, painting directly over the skim coat will not leave a fully even surface. Drywall priming involves sanding down, wiping, cleaning, and finally applying a drywall primer/sealer. This sticks to the drywall to create a perfectly smooth surface for painting as well as prevents the paint from being absorbed into the drywall.
Our CertaPro Painters® drywall repair services will always include all these necessary steps for a perfect finish. Of course, the drywall priming process will vary depending on the size of the repair. If we are only repairing a small hole, the primer will be applied directly onto the spackle or drywall compound with a paintbrush or roller. Larger repairs and replacements will usually mean re-repriming the wall entirely.
