Repairing Small Holes
Small drywall holes, such as those caused by drywall screws or nails, are the easiest type of drywall damage to fix. For this reason, many homeowners choose to do this repair on their own. However, if you're short on time or you just want to ensure that the job is done as professionally as possible, we encourage you to give us a call.
A nail hole in drywall can be filled using a small putty knife and some spackle. Your technician will fill the hole and allow it to dry for between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the product. Once dry, a sanding sponge will be used to create a smooth finish. If you desire, your technician can also apply a fresh coat of paint.
Repairing Large Holes and Cracks
Holes larger than those caused by nails can be repaired using a variety of methods. Medium-sized holes are generally repaired using a mesh patch, which helps provide structure and support.
Once the patch has been placed, your handyman will apply spackle or joint compound to the wall in a crisscross pattern until the hole is filled and covered. In some cases, a second coat may be required.
Larger holes may require something even stronger than mesh, such as a patch made from a piece of drywall. A drywall knife will be used to cut away damaged drywall, and a scrap piece of lumber may be used to attach the drywall patch to the existing drywall. An alternative method involves using joint tape to secure the new patch to the wall.
Regardless of which supplies and steps are taken by your handyman, you can rest assured that our talented team knows exactly what they’re doing and will repair your drywall according to the highest standards.
Repairing Corner Damage
Unbeknownst to many homeowners, the edges of their walls are reinforced with a product called ‘corner bead.’ A corner bead is a strip of metal that is applied to the area where two pieces of drywall meet and create a right angle. Although the corner bead is very strong, it can sometimes be damaged by moving furniture.
To do this repair, the old, damaged piece of corner bead will be removed and a new piece will be applied. After being secured, the corner bead will be covered with a joint compound and sanded down. A professional hand is required here to achieve a seamless finish.
