Restoration is a big part of what we do

Water damage can leave drywall stained, swollen, soft or crumbling. Painting over it doesn't fix it. Damaged drywall needs to be cut out and replaced so your walls and ceilings are solid again.

Signs your drywall needs to be replaced

  • Brown or yellow water stains
  • Soft or crumbling spots
  • Bubbling or peeling paint
  • Sagging ceiling drywall
  • Warped or swollen seams
  • A musty smell near the wall

How the repair works

First, the source of the water needs to be fixed and the area needs to be dry. Then we remove the damaged drywall, install new board, and tape and finish it so it blends in. The area is left smooth and ready for paint.

If you see signs of mold, have it checked and handled by a mold professional before drywall work begins.

Working with your insurance

If your repair is part of an insurance claim, we can give you a written quote for the drywall work to share with your adjuster.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you just paint over a water stain?

Usually not. If the drywall got wet, it can be weak or hold moisture. In most cases the damaged section should be replaced.

Do I need to fix the leak first?

Yes. The leak has to be fixed and the area has to be dry before we replace the drywall. Otherwise the damage comes right back.

Do you handle mold?

No. If there is mold, it should be tested and removed by a mold professional first. Then we replace the drywall.
