Drywall Repair in Oswego

Drywall repair in Oswego that fixes the cause

A nail pop is a fastener that has backed out as the framing behind it shrinks and moves. Sanding the bump and painting it buys a few months, so we drive a new screw beside it to pull the board tight, reset or pull the old nail, and finish over both. Cracks at corners and seams get the same approach: cut out the failed tape, bed new tape and finish in three feathered coats. Holes are cut back to solid board and patched with new drywall. Every repair is sanded, primed and painted.

We cover Oswego across Kendall County, from Route 34 and Route 71 out along Orchard Road and Wolfs Crossing Road on both sides of the Fox River. Framing lumber dries out every winter when the furnace runs, and it moves again in humid summers. If your house shows pops in a row across a ceiling or cracks that open over a doorway, that movement is the reason. We point out which ones are cosmetic and which ones suggest something worth a closer look, like a sagging header.

How an Oswego repair is handled

We walk the house with you, mark each pop and crack, and leave a free written estimate that lists them. If one turns out to be a symptom of something bigger, like a leak or a framing problem, we explain it, price it in writing and do it only with your approval. Compound has to dry between coats, so the estimate gives you the number of visits. Before we leave, we look over every marked spot with you.

• New screws set, not paint over a bump
