DRYWALL REPAIR

We repair common drywall issues such as holes, dents, cracks, nail pops, damaged corners, water-damaged sections after the source of the moisture has been addressed, and areas opened for plumbing, electrical, or other home repairs. The exact repair method depends on the size and condition of the damaged area.

Yes. Larger holes usually require cutting out the damaged section, installing new drywall, securing it properly, taping the seams, and applying joint compound before sanding and finishing the surface. We’ll determine the best repair method based on the size and location of the damage.

In many cases, yes. We can work to blend the repaired area with the surrounding texture so the patch is less noticeable once it is painted. Texture matching can vary depending on the original finish, age of the wall, and how the texture was originally applied.

Our goal is to make the repair blend as naturally as possible with the surrounding wall or ceiling. Proper patching, sanding, priming, texture matching, and painting all play a role in the final result. Some older or heavily textured surfaces can be more challenging to match perfectly, but we take the time to create a clean, consistent finish.

Yes. Because Avitar Painting is a full-service painting company, we can take the repair through the finishing stage rather than leaving you with a patched area that still needs to be painted. We use Sherwin-Williams products exclusively and can paint the repaired area or the full wall, depending on what will give the best finished appearance.

Yes, repaired drywall and joint compound generally need to be properly primed before the finish coat is applied. Primer helps seal the repaired area and creates a more consistent surface so the finish paint does not absorb differently over the patch.

Yes, but the source of the water must be corrected before the drywall repair is completed. Once the area is dry and the underlying issue has been resolved, we can remove damaged material, repair the drywall, and restore the surface for painting.

Yes. We can repair many types of drywall ceiling damage, including holes, cracks, damaged sections, and areas opened for repairs. Ceiling work may require additional attention to texture and finishing so the repair blends with the surrounding surface.

Small repairs may be completed relatively quickly, while larger repairs can take longer because joint compound may need time to dry between coats before sanding, priming, and painting. We’ll give you a better idea of the timeline after seeing the damage and understanding the scope of the repair.

Yes. Drywall repair is often part of preparing a room for painting. Nail holes, dents, cracks, and other surface defects are much more noticeable after fresh paint is applied, so addressing them beforehand helps create a smoother, more professional final result.
