Common questions

Helpful details before you request an estimate.

Is painting included with drywall repair?

Only when painting is included in the written estimate. Drywall finishing, primer, and final paint are listed separately so the agreed scope is clear.

Can you repair drywall after a leak?

Yes, after the leak or moisture source has been corrected and the affected area is dry. We do not close a wall while an active moisture problem remains.

Will the repaired texture match exactly?

We work to blend the repair with the surrounding finish, but existing texture, previous repairs, aging, and paint sheen can affect the final match. The condition is reviewed before work begins.

How many visits will the repair require?

That depends on patch size, compound depth, drying conditions, texture, primer, and paint. Our manager explains the expected stages when confirming the estimate.
