What we do
We cover the range of drywall work most homeowners and property managers need:
- New drywall for additions, garages, and basements
- Patching holes, dents, cracks, and nail pops
- Taping, mudding, and sanding to a smooth, paint-ready finish
- Texture matching so repairs blend into the existing wall
- Water-damaged drywall removal and replacement
Small nail holes are an easy DIY fix. But once a crack keeps coming back, a seam shows through paint, or water has gotten behind the wall, that is when it pays to bring in a crew that finishes it right the first time. If we find mold behind the board, we handle that too.

Frequently asked questions
How much does drywall repair cost?
A small patch is usually a low flat fee, while larger repairs or full sheet replacement are priced by the area and how much taping and texture work is involved. Water damage costs more because the wall has to come out and the cause gets fixed first. We give a firm price after we see the damage.
Should I repair drywall myself or hire a pro?
A tiny nail hole is fine to patch yourself with spackle. Hire a pro when the hole is larger than a few inches, a crack keeps returning, the texture needs to match, or water is involved. Those repairs are easy to do badly and obvious once the paint goes on.
What is the difference between drywall and sheetrock?
They are the same thing. Drywall is the general term for the gypsum panels used on walls and ceilings. Sheetrock is just a brand name that became a common word for it, the way people say Kleenex for tissue.
How long does drywall installation take?
Hanging and finishing a standard room takes about one to two days. Joint compound needs time to dry between coats, so add a couple of days before the wall is ready to paint. Bigger spaces and heavy repairs take longer.
Do you repair water-damaged drywall?
Yes, and it is one of our specialties. As a restoration company, we remove the damaged board, dry and treat the area, address mold if it is present, and install and finish new drywall. One crew handles the whole job.
