Drywall Repair in Central Florida

Most drywall repair calls in Central Florida are one of four things: a doorknob or furniture hole, a corner crack above a window or door, a failed patch somebody else did, or a whole section cut out for a plumber or electrician.

The repair itself is straightforward. We cut back to sound board, back it properly rather than relying on mesh tape over a void, set the patch flush, and tape and coat it in three passes with drying time between them - not one thick pass that shrinks and telegraphs the outline later.

The part that decides whether you can see it afterwards is the texture. Nearly every home here is finished in knockdown or orange peel, and a smooth patch in a knockdown wall is visible from across the room no matter how good the paint is. We spray and knock the texture to match the surrounding wall, feathered out far enough that there is no hard edge.

Small repairs are usually one visit. Anything needing three coats of mud runs across two visits because the mud has to dry properly - anyone promising a large patch in a single trip is planning to rush that.
