Drywall & Framing in Lombard

Drywall patches and repairs in Lombard

A patch that shows through the paint is usually a finishing problem, not a drywall problem. The joint was not feathered wide enough, the compound shrank, or the texture did not match. We cut damaged areas back to clean edges, back the patch with wood or clips, then feather the compound out well past the repair in thin coats so it reads flat in side light. On textured walls and ceilings, we match the texture before primer.

Lombard is on our regular route, off I-355 and Roosevelt Road, with St. Charles Road and Main Street running through the village near the Metra station and Lilacia Park. It is a DuPage County village between Glen Ellyn and Villa Park. Houses move a little with the seasons, and drywall shows it at the weak spots: diagonal cracks off the top corners of doors, nail pops across a ceiling, and split tape at inside corners. We fix the cause where we can, fastening loose board back to the framing, before we refinish the surface.

How a patch and repair job runs

Text photos and we can often tell you from the pictures what the repairs involve, or we walk the house and write the list room by room. Each item is priced in writing, and anything new that turns up gets priced and approved before we do it. Patching takes return visits for drying time between coats, so we set those days with you up front. Floors are covered, sanding is done with a vacuum sander where it fits, and we check every patch in side light with you at the end.
