Our Verified Ceiling Repairs In Flower Mound, TX

You’ve probably noticed random fissures, stains, or spots on your ceiling but brushed them off. Of course, even if you don’t face the scenario of your roof collapsing in on you, you also face consequences of mildew and mold growth, for example, from a leaky roof which can spread like rapid-fire to other areas of your home, from the carpet to your personal belongings like clothing and furniture.

But no frets! Our handyman technicians can give you the quick fix you need to restore your ceiling to ship-shape order. Mr. Handyman is always ready to fix property damage before it gets worse with guaranteed workmanship and exceptional customer service.

Here are the steps involved in a small to medium-sized hole repair:

1. Prep: Our technician will toss on safety goggles and a dust mask, and may ask you to cover surrounding furniture with a plastic tarp to protect it from drywall dust and debris. Drywall dust can result in health problems for some, so for extra protection, you can also put on a mask.
2. Cut it Out: Our technician will use a utility knife to carefully cut out the looser part of the drywall by going over the edges of the hole. Enough drywall is removed so that a new piece of drywall can be matched against the ceiling. For anything smaller than 6 inches, a small patch will likely be all that’s needed. For larger holes, it may be necessary to cut a piece of drywall into a new patch that will be installed over the hole.
3. Peel and Place: We remove the backing from the drywall patch and place it securely over the hole front and center. The sticky adhesive will harden immediately.
4. Spackle Over: We will use Spackle to go over the patch and begin to sand it over, leaving a perfectly smooth and even surface where the hole used to be.

As you can see, ceiling repairs are a similar scenario to drywall repair, but again the type of ceiling repairs depends on the amount of damage and ceiling height. Mostly, for Flower Mound ceiling repairs, these are our specialty areas:

DRYWALL CRACK REPAIR

Any fracture snaking across your ceiling may make you feel uneasy but the reason may be totally out of your hands, like a shifting house. Nonetheless, you shouldn’t be complacent about any cracks or stains and should schedule an appointment with your expert handyman for Flower Mound ceiling repair at your earliest convenience.

For smaller to medium-sized cracks, as described above, sometimes removing the portion of drywall isn’t required. Sometimes it’s just simpler to spread some joint compound over the crack and lock it in with a strip of joint tape. An additional layer of joint compound is then added to the tape to make it compact. Our technician will set the repair using a sanding block and smooth over the surface. For larger cracks, of course, we’ll have to cut out the damaged drywall and install a new piece in place.

WATER DAMAGE REPAIR

Water damage is evident in brownish stains spotting the ceiling, unusually due to a leaky pipe and excessive moisture. Before we even begin ceiling replacement, we have to cut out the damaged piece of drywall, which must be removed completely. Your technician will also ensure the area is bone dry and no longer damp by using a fan.

Next, we’ll perform the actual repair by creating a patch by cutting it out of a new piece of drywall. We then proceed to nail-secure the patch atop the uncovered ceiling joists. For the finishing touch, we’ll cover the juncture with joint tape and mud and sand over.

TEXTURED CEILING REPAIR

At times our clients are concerned if their Flower Mound ceiling repair will turn out gaudy and obvious if the textures of the old and new drywall mismatch. But rest assured our skilled technicians have the tact to keep texture in place without entirely removing it from the ceiling.

Whether you love or hate your popcorn ceiling, we can do everything from complete removals to resurfacing the ceiling with fine, medium, or coarse grains. We’ll retexturize using a roller or spray-on product and because we are trained we have the know-how to create a finishing look that is smooth and blends well instead of it looking like it’s been tacked on.
