That Old Drywall Repair Doesn't Have to Stay That Way

Some drywall damage is obvious. Other problems are technically repaired, but you can still see exactly where the work was done.

Maybe there is a raised patch on the wall. A ceiling repair catches the light every afternoon. The edges around an old repair were never blended far enough into the surrounding surface.

Those areas can be worth taking another look at.

Carolina Drywall Tech is a father-and-son team focused on drywall repair and finishing. We repair new damage and can inspect older repairs that still stand out.

When the Patch Becomes the Problem

A drywall patch can close a hole and still leave you unhappy with the wall.

Raised edges, visible tape, uneven joint compound or a repair that was not feathered far enough can become easier to notice after the wall is painted.

Correcting an existing repair depends on what is already there. Sometimes the surface can be worked and refinished. Other times part of the previous repair may need to be removed before it can be corrected.

We can look at the area and determine what makes sense instead of simply adding another layer over the problem.

Ceiling Repairs Leave Little Room for Mistakes

You may not stare at your ceiling very often, but an uneven repair has a way of getting your attention.

Light moving across the surface can expose ridges, rough edges and transitions that would be less noticeable somewhere else.

Carolina Drywall Tech repairs holes, cracks, damaged sections and previous repairs on drywall ceilings.

The repair may require removing damaged material, installing a new section and finishing it into the surrounding ceiling. What needs to be done depends on the size of the area and what caused the damage.

Repairing Drywall After Water Damage

Water-damaged drywall needs more than a fresh coat of paint.

First, the source of the water needs to be found and corrected. We do not want to close a wall or ceiling while an active leak or moisture problem is still behind it.

Once the underlying issue has been handled and the area is ready for drywall work, we can look at the damage.

Depending on the condition of the material, that may involve removing the affected drywall, installing a new section and finishing the repair into the existing surface.

The Plumber Fixed the Pipe. Now What About the Wall?

Getting behind a finished wall sometimes means cutting through it.

Plumbers, electricians and other contractors may need access to pipes, wiring or equipment hidden behind drywall. Their part of the job can be completely finished while an opening remains in the wall or ceiling.

Once their work is done, we can step in.

Carolina Drywall Tech can replace the missing drywall and finish the seams so the area becomes part of the wall again instead of looking like an access point that was covered up.

A Good Repair Should Fade Into the Background

You should not walk into the room and immediately notice where the drywall was fixed.

Getting there takes more than fitting a piece of drywall into the opening.

The seams need to be taped. Joint compound has to be built out beyond the repair and feathered into the existing surface. Each stage needs time before the next one begins.

Finishing is one of the main parts of our work, and it is where a repair starts to disappear into the wall or ceiling around it.

One Hole or a Larger Damaged Section

Drywall repair does not have to mean replacing an entire wall.

We handle smaller holes and damaged areas along with repairs that require sections of drywall to be removed and replaced.

If new drywall is needed, we typically handle installation for smaller projects around 10 sheets or less.

For larger hanging projects, we prefer to let professional drywall hangers handle the installation. We can then come in for the taping and finishing.
