A drywall patch shows through paint when it is rushed. The difference is in the sequence: cut back to sound board, fit the patch, tape and coat in thin passes, then sand flat enough that the repair disappears under a raking light.
Silva Handyman Contractor repairs and installs drywall for homeowners in Salisbury and nearby Maryland and Delaware communities, from a doorknob hole to a full room of new board.
What this includes
- Hole and crack repairDoorknob holes, anchor damage, hairline cracks at corners and seams, cut back and patched to a paintable finish.
- Water and moisture damageStained or swollen board removed once the source has been dealt with by the right trade, then replaced and finished.
- Ceiling repairSagging or cracked ceiling sections, including the harder work of finishing overhead without leaving ridges.
- New drywallHanging and finishing board for partitions, closets, basements and repairs after other trades have been through.
- Corner bead and trim returnsMetal or paper corner bead set straight so outside corners stay crisp instead of rounding off.
- Texture matchingOrange peel, knockdown and light hand textures blended into the surrounding wall as closely as the existing finish allows.
Scope note
Drywall repairs are finished to a paint-ready surface. Painting can be included, and it is priced as a separate line so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Water damage is repaired once the leak has been fixed and the cavity is dry.
What to send us
- Photos of every damaged area, taken straight on and from a few feet back.
- A rough width and height for each patch, plus how many patches there are.
- Whether the cause was an accident, a leak, settling or a previous repair.
- Whether the wall or ceiling is painted or still bare, and whether it has texture.
- Your ZIP code and whether the room is currently in use.
Questions we will ask
- Has the source of any water damage been repaired and fully dried?
- Is the damage cosmetic, or is the board itself soft, crumbly or loose?
- What texture is on the surrounding wall, and how far does a repair need to blend?
- Will the area be painted by us afterwards, or by someone else?
- Does the work need to happen around a move-out date or another trade's schedule?
