Vortex Air installs and repairs drywall for homes and businesses in Wichita, Derby, and the surrounding area. We hang and finish new walls and ceilings, patch holes and cracks, and replace drywall that has been damaged by water. As a licensed general contractor and IICRC certified restoration company, we handle the full job, not just the easy part. Call 316-272-6849 for a free estimate.

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.

Our process

We keep the job clean and predictable from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

  2. 2

    Prep and protection

  3. 3

    Hang or repair

    We install new board or cut out and replace damaged sections.

  4. 4

    Tape and finish

  5. 5

    Cleanup and walkthrough

A standard room takes about one to two days to hang and finish, with extra drying time before paint.

Recent work

We recently finished a basement that turned an unused space into a usable room, handling the framing, drywall, and finish work start to finish. We can do the same for your addition, garage, or spare room. Pair it with new luxury vinyl plank flooring and the space is ready to live in.

Signs You Need Drywall Repair or Installation

Visible Cracks or Holes

Doorknob dings, nail pops, stress cracks around windows and ceilings — every unpatched hole makes a room look neglected and can hide bigger issues underneath.

Water Stains or Damage

Brown rings, bubbling paint, or soft spots after a leak mean the drywall behind them is compromised and needs to be cut out and replaced, not just painted over.

Sagging or Bowed Walls & Ceilings

Ceilings dipping between joists or walls bowing outward point to failed fasteners or moisture damage that require professional drywall repair before finishes go back up.

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.

Why Fast Action Matters

Every hour counts. Here's why calling Vortex right away protects your home, your health, and your wallet.

Damage Spreads Quickly

Water, mold, smoke, and contamination all get worse by the hour. Waiting even a day or two can turn a contained problem into a full home restoration project.

Your Health Is on the Line

Airborne mold spores, bacteria, allergens, and indoor pollutants put your family and employees at risk. Fast professional action protects the people who use the space every day.

Costs Multiply Over Time

Small issues addressed early are dramatically cheaper than delayed repairs. Fast action limits structural damage, keeps insurance claims simpler, and protects your property value.

Our experience with Vortex was great. Techs were friendly, professional and thorough with our home and dryer vent cleaning. I paid what I was quoted on the phone.They left everything clean and I’m very happy with how easy it was to get this done. You know how some businesses make doing business with them very hard and painful? This is definitely is not one of those businesses. I would highly recommend them.
