Sheetrock, gypsum board, and drywall are essentially the same material, with slight differences. Sheetrock is a brand name for gypsum board, and both consist of a gypsum core sandwiched between paper layers, used for interior walls and ceilings. Drywall is the general term for these panels. Plaster, however, is a different material applied wet over a base (like lath) and hardens to create a smooth, durable finish. Plaster is more labor-intensive and time-consuming to install compared to drywall.

1. Small Holes: For small holes, use a patch kit. Sand the area around the hole, apply the adhesive patch, and cover it with joint compound. Smooth it out, let it dry, then sand and paint.

2. Medium Holes: For medium holes, cut out the damaged area into a square. Cut a new piece of drywall to fit. Attach the new piece to wall studs or a backer board, secure it with drywall screws, and cover the seams with joint tape and compound. Smooth, let dry, sand, and paint.

3. Large Holes: For large holes, you may need to cut out and replace a larger section of drywall. Follow the same steps as for medium holes but with a larger patch and more support.

For all repairs, ensure surfaces are smooth and dry between each step for the best finish.

Cracks in drywall can start small but grow over time, leading to bigger structural issues. They can be a sign of settling, moisture damage, or even foundation movement. Repairing them early keeps your walls looking great and prevents more costly repairs down the line.

You have plenty of options! Popular textures include smooth finish, knockdown, orange peel, and popcorn removal. Each texture gives a different look and feel to your space. If you want a modern update, we can smooth out old textures or apply a fresh new look that suits your style.

Small holes, minor cracks, and dents can typically be patched and blended. However, if you have large holes, water damage, or extensive cracking, replacing sections of drywall is often the best solution for long-term durability and a flawless finish.

Small nail holes or minor patches can be DIY, but for larger cracks, texture matching, or seamless repairs, hiring a professional ensures a high-quality, long-lasting finish. We have the tools and expertise to blend repairs perfectly with your existing walls.

Keeping drywall in good shape prevents further damage, improves the appearance of your home, and increases its value. Proper repairs also help maintain insulation and soundproofing. A well-maintained wall makes painting and future upgrades much easier.
