Professional Drywall Repair in Charlotte, NC

Small repairs (< 6 inches) take 2-4 hours same-day. Medium repairs (6-24 inches) take 1-2 days for drying time between coats. Large repairs or full section replacement take 2-3 days including demo, installation, multiple coats, texture, and paint.

Yes. Texture matching is our specialty. We've done hundreds of repairs across Charlotte—every texture type, every era of home. We bring samples, test on scrap material, and dial in the exact pattern before applying it to your ceiling. Common textures we match: orange peel (most common in Charlotte), knockdown, skip trowel, smooth finish, and popcorn (acoustic ceiling).

Yes. Drywall repair without paint is an unfinished job. We always prime the repair (required for proper paint adhesion). Then we can spot paint just the repaired area if you have matching paint, paint the entire wall or ceiling for uniform color, or do full room painting if your paint is aged or faded. We'll recommend what looks best.

For urgent repairs, yes. If you have water damage (active leak stopped but drywall soaked), a security issue (hole exposing exterior), or an emergency situation, call (980) 391-6833 before noon and we'll prioritize same-day service when possible. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within 2-3 days.

Repair (patching) works for small to medium holes (< 12 inches), isolated cracks, and surface damage with solid backing. Replacement (full section) is needed for water-damaged drywall (soft, warped, or mold present), large holes or extensive damage (> 12 inches), compromised structural integrity, or damage affecting multiple studs or ceiling joists. We'll assess for free and be honest about what you need.

Price depends on size of damage, number of repairs (multiple small repairs in one room can often batch for slight discount), texture complexity (smooth finish or custom texture takes longer than standard orange peel), whether paint is included (spot painting vs. full wall), and accessibility (high ceilings, cathedral ceilings, or tight spaces require additional time and equipment).

Yes, once the water source has been fixed. We repair the ceiling, not the pipe or the roof that let the water through, so if the leak is still active it needs the trade that handles that system first. Patching over a live leak just puts the same stain back in a few weeks. Once the source is handled and the cavity is dry, we cut out the stained or soft section, replace it, tape and float it flat, match the texture, and prime and paint it.

Yes. Sagging usually means the drywall has lost its grip on the joists (failed fasteners, old adhesive, or moisture that softened the board) and cracks along a ceiling line are often the house settling. We cut back to solid material, re-secure or replace the section, reinforce the seams, and re-texture. If the sag traces back to something structural rather than the drywall itself, we tell you that at the free estimate instead of hiding it behind a patch.

Yes, but only AFTER the water source is fixed. We cut out the damaged section (water-damaged drywall is compromised and likely holds mold), dry the cavity completely, install fresh material, tape, texture, and prime. If there's visible mold or a musty smell, we remove the affected drywall completely. For major mold issues, you may need a remediation specialist first.
