Drywall Holes and Cracks Repair
Damaged drywall that is left unrepaired has a higher chance of developing more holes and cracks. Not only will holes and cracks in your walls allow the wind to come in, but welcome unwanted wildlife and moisture. A home that loses heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer because of damaged drywall may become less energy efficient and cost you more money in energy bills.

Water damage and mould
Once the source of the water damage has been fixed, you may notice signs of damage on your drywall, such as water stains, bubbling paint, etc. That means it's time to replace your drywall as soon as possible. Wet drywall can lose its structural integrity quickly and can lead to a serious risk of your walls or ceilings collapsing.
Water-damaged drywall becomes a breeding ground for mould and should be addressed quickly. If left alone, wet drywall can become a health risk for those inside your home. This can lead to health symptoms such as coughing; worsening asthma symptoms; and eye, nose, and throat irritation.
We understand that every home and situation is different, so if you are still unsure after reading these tips on if your home needs drywall repaired, we are here to help you.
Types of Drywall Repair for walls and ceiling
There are many different types of drywall repair depending on the location of the repair and the type of finish you are looking for. As we've gone over, there can be various reasons drywall becomes damaged or uneven. It seems to never end — an overflowing bathtub, a leaky roof, a large or small kitchen fire, removing a ceiling fan or light fixture, etc. The list goes on and on. But we have the services to fix it for you.
Patch repair
- It's important to find a reputable drywall contractor who has the skills needed for your repair. Every job can be different and pose its own challenges. Even a small patch repair, like fixing a hole in your drywall from hockey practice that should have been outside, requires quality taping, mudding, and sanding.
- This requires you to cut a clean hole in the wall, cut a patch to fit the space, screw the patch into place on the wall, and tape around the joint before mudding. It may seem straightforward, but our experts have the knowledge and skills to do it right and leave you with a seamless finish.
Ceiling drywall repair
- Ceiling crack repairs caused by your home settling are common but an eyesore. Thinking of repairing something so high off the ground can be dangerous for those who are untrained and painful on your neck. While we are up there, we can do our popcorn ceiling removal service to give the room an aesthetic facelift or match the texture to the rest of the room.
Textured drywall matching
- If you take a look at the walls and ceilings in your home, do they all have the same finish and texture? Most homes have textured walls or ceilings, like popcorn ceilings. This can pose an additional challenge when a drywall repair needs to happen. No matter the finish, we guarantee our contractors will provide a seamless finish by matching the different drywall textures in your home. No one will know a repair was done.
How much does drywall installation cost?
You might be worried that drywall repair or installation may be too expensive and out of reach for your project. We take into account the size of your room, the height of the ceiling, the type of drywall that needs to be used, and the finishing texture. We also consider the size of the job that must be finished and the age of your home. The age of your home might mean we need to take extra care, like the removal of lead paint or asbestos.
Our specialists at DNR Drywall will evaluate the space and price out your job before we start. That way you will know more accurately what you can expect to see on the final bill after the installation. Sometimes there is unexpected damage behind your drywall that may increase the overall cost of the service. We will be sure to work closely with you should our team find any unforeseen issues.
