Drywall Repair: Common Problems, Effective Solutions

There’s a massive difference between a job well done, one done halfway, or a shoddy job. Professional drywall repair is a key step of a job well done.

If you plan to paint your interior walls, look at the drywall and check to see if you need drywall repair. Common problems can be addressed, such as dents, holes, cracks, and stains, just from normal wear and tear. These will show through a fresh paint job and detracts from your smooth finish if not repaired; for example, stains from spills from meals and dents from children playing.

Then there are more significant issues, such as impact damage, water damage, mold, and scrapes from moving furniture. Holes, popping nails, and places where removing a mirror or tiles have torn loose sections of drywall also create the need for drywall repair. Some of these can threaten your home’s structural integrity and increase utility costs.

In Northwest Florida, the high humidity and fluctuating temperatures can loosen the joint tape and eventually cause cracks. Cracks in drywall impact the energy bill because air leaks mean higher heating and air costs. Professional painters will urge clients that drywall needs to be repaired before painting so that high-quality work is produced with a longer-lasting finish.
