Drywall & Plaster Repair in Myrtle Beach

Doorknob holes, old anchors, a cut-out from a plumbing repair or a ceiling stain after a summer storm all end the same way when they are fixed well: you cannot tell where the damage was. We cut back to solid material, back-block or replace the board, tape and feather the joint, and match the texture that is already on the wall, whether that is a light orange peel, knockdown or a smooth plaster finish.

Humidity on the coast is hard on drywall. We find out why a wall got wet before we close it up, so the patch does not come back.

A professional patch costs less than repainting a whole room twice. We prime every repair so the sheen does not flash through the finish coat, and we protect floors and furniture before sanding.

• Holes from doorknobs, anchors, wiring and plumbing access
• Water-stained ceilings and swollen drywall replaced
• Texture matching: orange peel, knockdown and smooth
• Plaster skim coating and corner bead repair

These are the drywall problems we see most often in coastal homes:

• Holes from doorknobs, removed anchors, old TV mounts or plumbing and electrical access cuts
• Brown rings or sagging spots on the ceiling after a roof, AC drain or upstairs plumbing leak
• Nail pops and cracked seams caused by humidity swings and settling framing
• Bubbling paint or soft drywall near tubs, showers and exterior doors

Small patches are the cheapest repair because they can be finished in one or two short visits. Cost rises with the size of the damage, the number of rooms, ceiling height, and whether the texture is a simple orange peel or a hand-troweled finish. Water-damaged ceilings cost more because the wet material has to come out, the framing has to dry and stains need a sealing primer. Paint is included when we can blend a small area; larger areas are painted corner to corner so the color matches. See the starting prices below.

Along the Grand Strand, humidity and the occasional tropical storm are the usual cause of ceiling and wall damage. We always ask where the water came from and recommend the right trade if a roof or AC issue still needs fixing, so you do not pay to patch the same ceiling twice.
