Drywall Repair in Westmont

Patching the holes other trades leave in Westmont

We work in Westmont every week on drywall repair: access holes, doorknob holes, cracks, popped screws, damaged corners and ceilings hurt by a leak. Each repair starts at solid board, so we square up ragged edges and add wood backing where a hole is too wide to bridge. New board is screwed in, taped, and covered in three coats of compound feathered wide. Then we sand, prime and paint the patch to match the wall.

We get to Westmont on Ogden Avenue and Route 83, with Cass Avenue and 55th Street covering the rest of town in DuPage County. Plumbers, electricians and cable installers are there to fix what is behind the wall, not the wall itself, so their repair often ends with a rough square cut in a hallway or a ceiling. The same goes for a TV mount or a heavy shelf that comes down and leaves a row of torn anchor holes. If the opening has a valve or a junction box behind it that might need service again, we can set an access panel instead of closing it for good. Otherwise we fit new board, finish it, and paint it so the hole does not show.

From opening to finished wall in Westmont

Tell us what the other trade fixed and text a photo of the opening, and we will give you a read from the photo, then set up a free visit to put the price in writing. That estimate covers backing, board, finish and paint. If we open further and find a problem, like a pipe still dripping, we stop, tell you, and do not continue until the fix is approved in writing. After that, we book around the days we said and end with a walkthrough of the finished wall.
