Expert Wall Repair
We hate cracks in walls. We hate water damaged walls. We hate holes in walls. We’re pretty sure you do, too. SNL Painting can repair cracked tape joints in drywall, holes in drywall from a minor picture anchor hole, to, well, whatever it was that damaged your drywall. You can explain if you want, but you don’t have to! Rest assured that SNL Painting can repair it to a like-new condition. Wall repairs typically include:
- Cracked tape joints and general drywall cracks are typically repaired with mesh tape followed by 3 coats of drywall compound. Then they are sanded smooth, spot primed, then painted with the topcoats of paint. If the walls are textured, we can reproduce most textures with great accuracy. Things like age, number of coats of paint, method of application, wear and tear, etc. may prevent the reproduced texture from being absolutely perfect, but when we are done, you will usually be hard pressed to find where the damage was.
- Water and smoke stains are coated with an oil based stain killer prior to painting to block the stain from coming through the topcoats of paint.
- Holes in drywall are repaired by removing the damaged drywall, replacing with new drywall and "taping" the new drywall in to the existing. Taping is the process of applying paper or mesh "tape" to the seams where the new and existing drywall meet, and applying drywall joint compound to smooth the transition between the new and old. This process usually requires three coats of drywall joint compound (commonly referred to as "mud") sanding, spot priming, and finally, painting.
