Drywall Repair in Lombard, IL

Lombard drywall repair after water and wear

We repair drywall that has holes, cracks, popped screws, damaged corners or water damage. Wet or soft board does not get patched over. We cut it out to a straight line above the damage, replace it, tape it and finish it in three coats. Sound board with a stain gets a stain-blocking primer before paint, and the repair is written up and priced before we start.

Lombard is on our regular route, and we reach it by I-355, Roosevelt Road and St. Charles Road, working from Main Street and Lilacia Park out to every edge of the village. It is a DuPage County village between Glen Ellyn and Villa Park. If your basement is finished and a sump pump quits or a pipe leaks, water wicks up the drywall from the floor. We cut the board at a level line above the wet area, check the bottom plate and insulation, and replace what is wet so the new wall is not built over a problem.

Drywall repairs we do in Lombard

Wet board cut to a clean line

Damaged drywall is cut at a level line above the water mark so the new piece goes in straight.

Bottom plates and insulation checked

With the board off, we check the wood plate and the insulation and replace what is wet before closing up.

New board hung and finished

Replacement board goes up, the joints get tape and three coats, and the wall is sanded flat.

Baseboard reset

Base trim comes off before the cut and goes back on, or gets replaced if it swelled.

Stains sealed upstairs

Ceiling and wall stains from a fixed leak get a stain-blocking primer before paint.

Holes and dents through the house

Everyday holes, cracks and popped screws in the rest of the house get the same three-coat repair.

How a Lombard drywall repair runs

We come out for free, confirm the water source has been fixed, and write up what needs to be cut out and replaced. If the open wall shows more damage than we expected, you get a written price and decide before we continue. Plastic goes up at the basement stairs, floors are covered, and the visits are scheduled around drying time between coats. We finish with a walkthrough of the repaired walls.

FAQ

Drywall Repair in Lombard: questions

My basement drywall got wet. Does it all have to come out?

Only the part that got wet or soft. We cut at a level line above the damage and replace that section, then check the framing and insulation behind it.

Do you dry out the basement too?

Yes, we remove the water and run the drying equipment ourselves. Once the area reads dry, we rebuild the walls.

Do I need a permit for basement drywall repair in Lombard?

Replacing a section of drywall usually does not. If the basement repair involves an outlet, a pipe or the sump, we pull the permit where the village requires one.

How long does a basement wall repair take?

A few days for most, so each coat of compound can dry. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will give you dates with the estimate.

Do you work outside Lombard?

Yes. We repair drywall in Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Downers Grove and Addison too.
