Addison, DuPage County

Drywall Repair in Addison

Straight, hard outside corners in your Addison home again, without the dents and chipped paint that vacuum and laundry basket hits leave behind. We replace the damaged bead and finish it so the corner holds.

Addison drywall repair, corners first

Outside corners take more abuse than any flat wall, and once the metal or vinyl bead under them dents or the compound cracks off, filler alone will not hold. We cut out the damaged section of bead, fasten new bead plumb, and run compound in three coats feathered back on both faces. After sanding we prime and paint the corner and the walls it touches so the patch blends. Flat-wall repairs get the same treatment, cut back to sound board instead of piling compound on top of damage.

We cover Addison every week, coming in on I-290 and I-355 and working off Lake Street, Route 53 and Army Trail Road. It sits in DuPage County with Villa Park, Lombard, Wood Dale and Elmhurst around it. If your house is a split-level or has half walls along the stairs, you have more exposed corners than a two-story of the same size, and those corners chip first. We can fix every dinged corner in the house on one estimate, and we can switch to a rounded bead if square corners keep getting hit.

How a corner and wall repair runs in Addison

Walk us through the house and point out every corner and hole, and we write a free estimate that lists them one by one. If a corner turns out to have framing damage behind it, we show you, price it in writing and do nothing until you approve it. Work can start same-day when the schedule allows, with return visits while the compound dries between coats. We protect the floors and stairs, keep the sanding dust contained and check each corner with you before we call it done.

  • Every corner listed on the estimate
  • Damaged bead replaced, not filled
  • Three coats feathered on both faces
  • Stairs and floors protected
  • Paint matched to the existing wall
  • Final check of each corner with you
FAQ

Drywall Repair in Addison: questions

Why does my corner keep cracking after it is patched?
Usually the bead under it is bent or loose, so filler on top breaks off again. We replace that section of bead so the new finish has something solid to hold.
Do I need a permit in Addison for drywall repair?
Not for patching and finishing in most cases. If the job turns into framing, electrical or plumbing work, we confirm with Addison's building department and pull the permit it requires.
How many visits does a repair take?
Most take two or three, since every coat of compound dries before the next goes on. Your estimate shows the visits we expect.
Do you work in towns around Addison?
Yes. We repair drywall in Wood Dale, Itasca, Villa Park and Elmhurst on the same terms.
