Drywall Repair Savannah, GA

You can determine if your drywall needs repair or replacement by examining the extent of the damage. Small holes, cracks, or minor water damage can often be repaired.

However, is your drywall damaged from extensive water leaks, large holes, or severe structural damage? If so, replacing the sheets of drywall will be best for a durable long-term solution.

We’ll take the time to thoroughly examine the issue and offer the best solutions for you.

It's important to know that drywall is a porous material, meaning that it's highly susceptible to water damage. Even if you utilize a water-resistant material and take the time to have it properly waterproofed, it's still not going to be 100% water-resistant. Once the water has saturated your drywall, your drywall will start to warp, swell, and sad. You'll also likely start to notice a musty odor, as mold and mildew begin to grow in the material—feeding off of the paper materials used in its manufacture.

The duration of a typical drywall repair depends on the size and complexity of the damage. Minor repairs, such as small holes or cracks, can usually be completed within a few hours. Larger repairs may take a few days to ensure proper drying and finishing for a seamless result.

We’ll be up-front with how long we expect your project to take. We’ll also be more than happy to work around your busy schedule.

While it's possible for savvy homeowners to repair their own drywall, we don't often recommend it. Drywall damage can occur from incidents you're aware of, such as accidental impact; however, it can also occur when you have a leak or foundation damage.

One of the most valuable benefits of professional drywall repair comes from our expert inspection. Homeowners may try to patch up damage on their own, and they may do it successfully, but they may be overlooking a more serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately. Choosing a professional for drywall repair ensures that the job is done correctly and that you have total peace of mind over the safety of your home.

Every drywall job is different, and drywall repair costs range from home to home. Small cracks are much easier to fix than larger sections of water damage and will take less time. It's difficult to provide exact cost estimates for drywall repair without first seeing what we're dealing with. What we can give you now is a guarantee on our workmanship and an accurate drywall repair cost estimate.

The first part of our Savannah drywall repair service begins with a thorough inspection in which we will be able to determine the exact issue with your drywall. Because the severity of issues differs from home to home, you may be dealing with a simple crack, but you may also be dealing with a 5-foot crack resulting from foundation damage. One of these issues is much more costly to repair.

If you notice ceiling damage or are in need of Savannah drywall repairs, then you might be wondering if a patch can solve your problems or if you need to completely replace your drywall. Again, that depends on the extent of the damage. If the damage is limited to a small area or is particularly minor in nature, then repair is typically the best option and what's most recommended. However, if the damage is extensive, in a visible area, or involves water or mold damage, then replacement is the better choice.

If you are planning to handle the painting yourself, rather than hire the experts at Mr. Handyman, then it's important to know what steps to take to ensure you enjoy a seamless repair. If the repairs done were small or minor, then you don't necessarily need to purchase a primer. Rather, you can apply a light coat of paint over the repaired area, once the spackle or joint compound has dried. This is a process known as "spot priming." Now, if you already have primer on hand, then simply use a little bit of primer on the repaired areas and then paint over them.

When it comes to Savannah drywall repair or ceiling damage, you can usually have your drywall recycled once it's been removed. Although it might take you some digging to find a recycling service in your area that will accept it—particularly if it contains asbestos. If that's the case, you might be better off just having it discarded rather than recycling it.

One important thing to note about drywall recycling is that moldy drywall cannot be recycled and needs to be handled with particular care. Ensure that it's disposed of properly. If you have hired a professional drywall contractor, they can likely handle the process for you if you ask.
