Drywall Repair in Wheaton

Wheaton drywall and plaster repair

We repair holes, cracks, popped fasteners and water damage in drywall, and we handle plaster walls when a house still has them. Drywall damage gets cut back, patched, taped and finished in three wide coats, then sanded, primed and painted. Plaster calls for a different approach, and we explain which one your wall needs at the estimate. Every repair is priced in writing before work starts.

Wheaton is on our regular route. We work across town by Roosevelt Road, Naperville Road and Main Street, from the Metra station and Wheaton College out to the Illinois Prairie Path. It is the DuPage County seat, with Glen Ellyn, Warrenville and Carol Stream around it. Where a Wheaton house still has plaster on wood lath, a crack often means the plaster has pulled loose from the lath behind it. We screw it back with plaster washers, tape the crack and skim it, and where a section has failed, we patch with board shimmed to the plaster's thickness.

How a Wheaton wall repair runs

At the free estimate, we press on the walls, check for loose plaster and tell you which repair makes sense. The written scope lists each wall and the method for it, and anything hidden we find later is priced in writing and approved by you first. Dust stays behind plastic at the doorway, and the visits are scheduled around drying time. When the last coat of paint is on, we walk each room with you.
