Methods used by contractors to repair drywall depends on the specific damage. Repairing holes in the wall involves clearing away loose debris, applying a patch or joint compound, and smoothing and sanding it over. Larger holes may require wooden or metal supports, new drywall pieces, tape, and compound.
Sheetrock® is the registered brand name for a type of drywall used in home construction, and it serves as a standard surface material for interior walls. The name is used interchangeably with drywall. Contractors repair Sheetrock in the same manner as generic drywall, applying quality patching materials. The cost to repair Sheetrock is about $12 to $20 per sheet and is comparable to the cost of repairing drywall since it uses the same patching materials. The actual sheets cost more than their generic counterparts, depending on panel size, type, and thickness.
There are several signs of water damage in drywall. Water stains, for example, can appear as yellow, brown, or black stains on the surface and grow larger as the moisture permeates the materials. Musty or moldy odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, and sagging or bulging are also often accompanied by moisture problems.
A handyperson can repair minor drywall damage on standard surfaces. However, if your wall is constructed from plaster or brick or there is extensive damage, hiring a mason or drywall contractor with specialized training is essential. Choosing the right professional based on the wall’s construction ensures a professional and lasting repair.
Hiring a painter for minor drywall damage is an option when the imperfections are limited to surface blemishes. Painters have the expertise to apply quality patching and refinishing that can restore the wall’s look. However, if the damage affects the integrity of the drywall or involves deeper structural issues, hire a drywall repair specialist who can make sure the repair is durable and blends into your wall.
