​Repairing Small Holes

Repairing small holes in drywall is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it helps to maintain the appearance and functionality of the wall. Even a small hole can be unsightly and can detract from the overall look of the room. Additionally, small holes can become bigger over time if left unrepaired, which can lead to more significant damage and higher repair costs.

Repairing small holes in drywall is also important for the structural integrity of the wall. While a small hole may not seem like a big deal, it can weaken the overall structure of the wall if left unfixed. This can potentially lead to more serious problems down the line. Another reason to repair small holes in drywall is to prevent pests and other unwanted creatures from entering the wall cavity. Small holes can provide an entry point for insects, rodents, and other animals, which can cause damage to the wall and create a potential health hazard.

In addition to these practical reasons, repairing small holes in drywall can also improve the value of your home. A well-maintained and attractive interior is an important selling point for potential buyers, and small holes in the walls can be a major turnoff. Overall, while small holes in drywall may seem like a minor issue, it's important to address them promptly to prevent further damage and maintain the integrity and appearance of your home.
​
If the hole is less than 6 inches wide we consider this a small hole repair, it is covered with a drywall patch, and a joint compound is then applied over the patch. The area is then sanded and painted to give it a seamless look. When the hole is more than 6 inches wide, we refer to this as a medium sized hole and in the case of larger drywall holes from substantial damage we may replace the entire section instead.​

If it was caused by a door handle, to ensure that this problem does not occur again in the future, we can install a wall guard over the previously damaged area. This is a hard round disk that prevents the doorknob from damaging the wall. Other alternatives include using a hinge doorstop or a door stopper placed on the baseboard of the wall at risk. As a side note: In a commercial application we often recommend a hydraulic system which makes it harder for the door to open hence slowing the speed at which it can crash into the wall. This is also helpful in preventing doors you want to stay closed from remaining open. 

When having new plumbing installed or updating electrical fixtures we can repair the gaps that will have been created during the renovations. These are easy fixes that our team is well-equipped to handle. Reach out to our estimators if you have questions regarding the size of your drywall repairs.

​Repairing Medium and Large Holes

Sometimes, using a drywall patch may not be as effective as it should be. It is for this reason we will sometimes recommend the replacement of a whole section of drywall board. We take a large board and cut it into a square shape that is at least 2 inches wider than the damaged section. We then measure and draw the outline on the wall before then using a drywall saw to cut out the traced area. We are a drywall company that believes in measuring twice and cutting once. Every repair is handled with care as not to damage any other areas nearby. After installing the replacement board we will tape, mud, sand and paint the wall back to its original state and leave it looking new. 

Repairing a Corner Bead

​A corner bead is an area in which two drywall sections meet to form a corner. This is the most tricky part to repair; thus, it requires exemplary drywall skills to properly complete a smooth finish. Though every drywaller has their way of doing things, we prefer to use a conservative approach. We vertically cut the damaged area on the top and bottom parts of the bead. A utility knife is then used to cut the plasterboard vertically to remove fragments of the damaged board. We will then measure and cut a new corner bead and attach it using a manufacturer's recommended adhesive. Inward corner damage is more uncommon than the protruding corners. 

We Repair Water Damaged Drywall

When drywall gets wet, it can become damaged and compromised, leading to a variety of issues that require repair or replacement.

​Commercial Drywall Services

​What is Drywall?

​This is a term used to referrer to panels made of calcium sulfate dehydrate. It is sometimes known as plasterboard, gypsum panels, or sheetrock. Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral found in more than 85 countries around the world. It is a powdery like substance that is packed down into hard boards that are glued together between a paper like material. Plasterboard is used in the construction industry to create ceilings, walls, arches, and other architectural designs. Drywall is a versatile medium that can be used to cover your walls and ceilings regardless of design.

Mold is a type of fungal growth that spreads easily in humid areas such as the bathroom and kitchen. It is also common to find mold where water damage has occurred. If you think you've have a potential area in your home that could have water damaged drywall we recommend getting this looked at immediately. Mold can be black, green or white and poses health risks to all. For example, if you do not use a mold-resistant gypsum board, you risk having a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, or skin irritation. If you are asthmatic or have other health concerns, then the reactions can be more severe.

​Custom Drywall Concepts
Gypsum boards are versatile because they can accommodate any architectural design, concept, and theme. For example, you can have a Jurassic park gypsum theme installed in your child's room to teach them about history. Other ideas include a custom desk built into your wall, a unique bar with added LED lighting features, or a 3D sculpture on the wall.

It is important to consider the building codes for your residential area as well. Various types of boards have different features as well such as added levels of insulation your home and assisting to lower your energy bills. They are not recommended as a substitute for insulation.

Sound Proofing Services

Is the sound in your home often too much? If this is the case, then you need to think about soundproofing. Soundproofing is done to block unwanted noise from either leaving or entering your property. Before we soundproof your property, we try first to understand the type of sound you require to be blocked. This will help us know the kind of soundproofing service required to fix the issue.

There are two ways in which sound can be blocked. These are:

• Using a sound-absorbing material
• Using a sound blocking material

​A sound-absorbing material soaks up sound vibrations ensuring they do not bounce off again. On the other hand, a sound blocking material prevents sound energy from passing through it. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Some types of drywall will help reduce the sound in your home.
