Before You Hire A Drywall Company
Consider these points and choose the right Drywall Contractor:
- Decide whether you want to repaint the whole wall or just touch up patched areas. If we’re patching tiny nail holes, we can cover up the repairs by dabbing on touch-up paint with a soft cloth.
- If we’re patching a large number of holes and other damage, prime the patched walls before repainting -- especially if you’re choosing a semi-gloss or shinier finish. The higher the gloss, the more different surface textures appear between the patch and the surrounding paint.
Before we begin repair work, it's important to know the utility placement in your home. Typically, electric wires are attached to wall studs. Locate the wall studs before you begin cutting, drilling or nailing drywall.
Drywall Specialist Patches Small Dents and Dings
Scrape away loose debris from the hole. Cover the hole or dent with fast-drying spackle to bring the spackle level with the drywall surface and let it dry 24 hours -- or the time recommended by the manufacturer’s instructions. Sand smooth.
We Repair Popped Nailheads
A popped nail isn't holding in the stud and backs out of the drywall, creating a popped nail head.
How We Repair a Popped Nailhead
Step 1: Reattach the Drywall to the Stud
Drive a drywall screw 1 1/2 inches above the popped nail head into the stud to reattach the drywall to the stud. Sink the screw head just below the surface of the drywall so it can be covered with spackle.
Step 2: Drive in the Popped Nail
Step 3: Cover, Sand and Smooth
