Flat, smooth walls again, without the row of bumps from popped screws or the crack running off the corner of a door. We fix drywall in Minooka homes and paint each repair to match.
We work in Minooka every week, repairing drywall holes, cracks, popped fasteners, dented corners and ceilings damaged by a leak. Each repair is cut back to sound board, taped where it needs tape, and built up with three coats of compound feathered wide. Sanding is done with the room masked off, then the patch is primed and painted. You end up with a wall where you have to hunt to find the repair.
Minooka sits where Grundy, Kendall and Will counties meet, and we get there on I-80 and Route 6, with Ridge Road and McLindon Road getting us around town. If your house is only a few years old, the framing lumber is still drying and shrinking, and that movement pushes screw heads out through the paint and opens hairline cracks off the corners of windows and doors. Filling the bump does not fix it. We drive a new screw beside each popped one to pull the board tight to the stud, then coat the spot flat, and cracks get opened and re-taped instead of smeared over.
We sink or pull the popped fastener, drive a new screw next to it to hold the board tight, and coat it flat.
Stress cracks at the corners of openings get cut open, taped with paper tape and feathered out.
Where two walls or a wall and ceiling meet and the tape has split, we re-tape the corner and finish it straight.
Holes from doorknobs, wall anchors and moving day get a backed patch or new board, then three coats.
Stained, cracked or sagging ceiling board is cut out and replaced, and the texture is matched where there is one.
Repairs are primed and painted, or the whole wall gets painted when touch-up would show.
Send a photo or book a free visit, and we will walk the house with you and mark every pop and crack you want fixed. The written estimate lists those repairs by room. If more pops show up once we are working, we point them out and add them only after you approve the price in writing. We book around the days we said and finish by checking each room with you under good light.
Call or text (815) 585-1750 and tell us what you are seeing on your walls. We will look at it, write the repairs down and give you the price before we start.
