Common Drywall Issues We Repair

At DreamWood Construction & Renovation, we handle a wide range of drywall problems with precision and care. Whether it’s small patches or full-room repairs, we’ve got the experience and tools to get the job done right.

• Water Damage: Leaky pipes or roof issues can lead to stained, sagging, or crumbling drywall. We’ll remove the damaged sections, check for mold, and professionally repair the area.

• Cracks & Settlement Lines: Homes naturally settle over time, which can cause cracks in walls or ceilings. We assess the root cause and provide a clean, lasting repair that blends in seamlessly.

• Holes from Wear & Tear: From doorknob dents to larger holes caused by accidents, we can patch and finish damaged drywall so it looks like new.

• Nail Pops & Loose Tape: These common issues are not only unsightly but can grow worse if ignored. We remove old compound, re-secure, and refinish for a smooth, solid surface.

• Poor Past Repairs: If your previous drywall work wasn’t done properly, we can rework and restore the finish so it matches the rest of your home.

What’s Included in Our Process?

Site Evaluation

We begin with an on-site visit to assess the condition of the area, identify any repairs needed, and discuss your goals. From there, we provide a clear, honest estimate including labor and materials.

Site Preparation

We prep the workspace by protecting floors, furniture, and adjacent surfaces. This ensures a clean and safe worksite from start to finish.

Drywall Installation

We install high-quality drywall sheets to walls or ceilings, properly cut and secured with screws for a tight fit.

Taping & Mudding

We apply tape over all seams and joints, followed by multiple coats of joint compound to ensure a smooth transition between sheets.

Dustless Sanding

Once the final coat of mud is dry, we use a HEPA-filtered dustless sanding system to keep the worksite clean and safe. This step creates a smooth, paint-ready surface.

Primer & Prime Check

We prime the entire surface to seal the drywall and bring out any final imperfections. If needed, we do touch up to minor flaws before paint is applied.

(Optional) Painting Service

If requested, we can professionally paint the finished drywall using premium low-VOC paints. This ensures a durable, even finish and saves you time by keeping everything under one contractor.

Final Cleanup & Walkthrough

After completing the work, we do a full cleanup of the workspace and perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure satisfaction. Your space will be left clean, smooth, and ready for paint or final finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does drywall installation or repair cost?
Minor drywall repairs typically start at $400, depending on the scope and complexity. Larger jobs are priced individually, with most medium-sized projects ranging from $2,000 to $4,000. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin.

2. How long does a drywall job take?
The timeline depends on the project size and finish requirements. Medium to larger jobs can take as little as 3 days and up to a couple of weeks. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.

3. Do you handle ceiling drywall as well as walls?
Yes. We install and repair both wall and ceiling drywall, including flat ceilings, cathedral ceilings, and popcorn ceiling removal. Whether it's a simple patch or a full ceiling replacement, we have the tools and experience to get it done right.

4. What kind of drywall do you use?
We use high-quality, standard ½-inch drywall for most residential applications. For areas where fire-rating or soundproofing is a concern, we use ⅝-inch drywall, and can double-layer where specifications call for it. For wet areas like bathrooms, we use appropriate moisture-resistant drywall to ensure long-lasting performance.

5. Is drywall dust a problem during the job?
Not with us. We use professional-grade HEPA-filtered dust extractors and a dustless sanding system to control airborne dust throughout the job. This helps keep your home cleaner and reduces the amount of post-project cleanup.

6. Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?
Yes, we ask that furniture be cleared from the workspace ahead of time. If any items cannot be moved, let us know. We’ll assess and protect them using drop sheets and plastic sheeting as needed.

7. Can you paint the drywall after finishing?
Yes. Painting is an optional service we offer upon request. If you choose to include it, we use premium, low-VOC primer and paint to ensure a clean and professional finish.

8. What level of drywall finish do you provide?
We typically finish drywall to a Level 4 finish, which is ideal for most applications and ready for paint. In areas with significant natural light or high-end expectations, we recommend a Level 5 finish, the smoothest and most premium option available. If you prefer only drywall installation without taping or mudding, we can tailor the service to fit your specific needs.
