The crack up by the foyer ceiling or the hole high on the stairwell wall in your Hoffman Estates home, repaired and painted so it is gone, however tall the wall.
High drywall damage needs the same repair as anything at eye level, plus a safe way to reach it. We set up ladders and planks or a stair platform that sits level on the steps, then cut the damage back to sound board, patch, tape and feather three coats. Seams high on tall walls get extra care, because a long wall in afternoon light shows every ridge. Once the finish is sanded, we prime and paint, and on a tall wall we usually paint corner to corner so the patch does not leave a square.
Hoffman Estates is on our regular route, reached on I-90 and Route 59 and worked off Higgins Road, Golf Road and Barrington Road. It spans Cook and Kane counties, with Schaumburg, Palatine and Hanover Park nearby. If your house has a two-story foyer, an open stairwell or a vaulted family room, seams up high can crack as the framing moves, right where nobody can reach to fix them. Those rooms are also where you notice every flaw, since light from tall windows rakes across the wall. We pad the stairs, the railing and the floor below before any ladder goes up.
Cracks on two-story ceilings opened, re-taped and finished from staging set up for the job.
Damage over the stairs patched from a platform that sits level on the steps.
Ridged or cracked seams on tall walls refinished and sanded flat.
Cracks where sloped ceilings meet walls re-taped with corner tape.
Dents and gouges along the stairs filled, sanded and primed.
Tall walls painted edge to edge so the repair does not show as a patch.
We look at the damage, note how we will reach it, and write a free estimate that covers the setup, every repair and the paint. If the crack turns out to come from a framing problem, we explain it, price the fix in writing and wait for your approval. Work starts same-day when the schedule allows, and tall repairs take return visits while each coat dries. We pad the stairs and railing, cover the floor below and walk the finished wall with you from the bottom and the top.
