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® house 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, leaving behind holes, cracks, dents and damp patches of all sizes. Some of the most common types of damaged drywall include:
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.
Furniture Scuffs
Careless furniture handling can lead to pencil-like marks at best and holes in the drywall at worst.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Benefits of Repairing Drywall
For many homeowners, the main benefit of repairing drywall is simply cosmetic. Damaged drywall tends to be extremely noticeable and ruins the overall appearance of a wall. While some would prefer to simply cover the damage with a wall hanging or piece of furniture, there are other important benefits to taking the time to repair it instead.
For one, certain forms of damage like cracks and damp patches can lead to structural issues that can affect the integrity of your home. However, even smaller holes and dents will have to be repaired someday if you ever intend to sell your house or move your furniture. Leaving the repair for later is almost guaranteed to increase the damage over time, meaning you may end up paying more down the line.
Common Questions About Drywall Repair Projects
How do you repair drywall?
The type of damage will determine what drywall repair technique is needed. Small dents and dings can be smoothed over with spackle and paint. Water damaged or impact damaged drywall will be cut out and patched with new drywall segments. Repairs are then finished with light sanding and a fresh coat of matching paint.
How much does drywall repair cost?
The cost of drywall repair varies depending on the extent of damage. To get accurate pricing for your unique project, schedule an estimate appointment with CertaPro Painters® today.
Do all CertaPro Painters® locations offer drywall repair?
Drywall repairs are a common part of interior painting projects. Most independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters® franchised businesses offer drywall repair services, but some do not offer it as a stand-alone service. Contact CertaPro Painters® for pricing and information about your unique project.
How can I tell if my drywall should be repaired?
Repairs and replacements are generally only needed if some damage has been done to the wall. Impact damage, water damage, mold, and scrapes are the most common types of drywall damage. If you have any of these problems, repairs are needed to restore the look of the wall.
How do you fix cracks in drywall?
Cracks in drywall are usually repaired using drywall tape and joint compound. Once the compound dries the surface is smoothed over for an even finish.
Had a great experience with Don at CertaPro. The quoted price for painting our deck with a few small repairs was reasonable and the job was able to be scheduled quickly. Communication with the on-site manager was easy and the work was very good.
