Benefits of Repairing Drywall

For many homeowners, the main benefit of repairing drywall is simply cosmetic. Damaged drywall tends to be extremely noticeable and ruins the overall appearance of a wall. While some would prefer to simply cover the damage with a wall hanging or piece of furniture, there are other important benefits to taking the time to repair it instead.

For one, certain forms of damage like cracks and damp patches can lead to structural issues that can affect the integrity of your home. However, even smaller holes and dents will have to be repaired someday if you ever intend to sell your house or move your furniture. Leaving the repair for later is almost guaranteed to increase the damage over time, meaning you may end up paying more down the line.

Priming Drywall for Paint

Priming drywall after a repair is an extremely important step which should never be overlooked. Due to the natural texture of drywall, painting directly over the skim coat will not leave a fully even surface. Drywall priming involves sanding down, wiping, cleaning, and finally applying a drywall primer/sealer. This sticks to the drywall to create a perfectly smooth surface for painting as well as prevents the paint from being absorbed into the drywall.

Our CertaPro Painters® drywall repair services will always include all these necessary steps for a perfect finish. Of course, the drywall priming process will vary depending on the size of the repair. If we are only repairing a small hole, the primer will be applied directly onto the spackle or drywall compound with a paintbrush or roller. Larger repairs and replacements will usually mean re-repriming the wall entirely.

Common Drywall Problems

Drywall damage is a common problem for many homeowners and one that can be tricky to fix at home. It is a meticulous repair that requires time and attention to detail. If not properly taken care of, it can result in an uneven and unappealing appearance or, worse, structural damage to your walls. Our CertaPro Painters® house painting experts have years of experience in drywall repair, making it easy for them to deliver impeccable results quickly and efficiently.

There are many factors that can damage drywall, leaving behind holes, cracks, dents and damp patches of all sizes. Some of the most common types of damaged drywall include:

Holes

Holes are usually caused by accidental forceful impact, like a door being slammed open or someone falling into the wall. Depending on what made the impact, you could be looking at anything from a small puncture to a worrying crater.
Removals

Removing anything attached to the wall, whether it be tile, wallpaper, or even objects like mirrors, can lead to pieces of drywall coming off.
Water damage and moisture

Usually caused by leaking pipes, water damage weakens the structural integrity of the drywall and can even be a health hazard. Even if there are no visible water patches, moisture in the walls or ceilings can lead to other problems like cracks and loosened joint tape.
Popping Nails

This happens most often when a nail is not securely attached to a joint or stud and pops through the drywall.
Dented corner bead

The corner bead is a piece of metal used to join two sheets of drywall at a corner. It can become dented with impact or regular wear and tear.
Furniture Scuffs

Careless furniture handling can lead to pencil-like marks at best and holes in the drywall at worst.
Ceiling Stain Repairs

Stained ceilings from water damage can be brough back to life. Its important to fix the cause of the leak prior to repairing the ceiling.
Tension Crack Repairs

Cracks in the wall from tension points like doors and windows are common and can be patched and repaired.
Loose Drywall Tape Seam Repair

Sometimes drywall tape peels away over time causing lines to show on walls or ceilings.
