Wallboard Repair + Quality Sheetrock Installation near Memphis, Tennessee.

Finding the right drywall services can be tough. A skilled handy person can repair plasterboard or fix holes and cracks in sheetrock. But you’ll probably want a pro to finish a new room or replace a water damaged ceiling.

Reliable Sheetrock Replacement Matters.

When it comes to wallboards and ceilings, quality has everything to do with know-how and skill. No job is the same. While you can certainly fix a wall on your own, some things are better left to the professionals.

Choppy joint compounds, bad support, seam gaps & uneven sanding will show up in time. The last thing you want to do is pay for a sheetrock wall repair twice. Avoid the mess with a durable surface and a fresh coat of paint you can decorate for years to come!

Before cutting any sheetrock for walls or ceilings, I like to inspect the framing. Anyone that offers expert drywall construction should know how to adjust wall studs to square off a room before hanging any wallboards.

What Can Impact a Ceiling or Sheetrock Wall Repair?

Memphis Bathroom Drywall Replacement and Repair Services.

In the Midsouth, bathrooms are a hotspot for humidity. So fixing drywall in this room takes a little more skill. Experience with water-resistant green board, spackling, joint compound, caulk and paint is a must.

Any good bathroom drywall repairman knows how to break seals & re-install tiles. But I do my best to keep tiling in tact. Drywall services really are an art form.

Local Plasterboard Repair.

In the historic districts of Memphis, many of the old homes are loaded with plaster. Unless you have experience with this type of wallboard repair, it’s best to hire a drywall and plastering contractor.

If you plan to install sheetrock as a replacement, there will be a difference in thickness. Repairing a hole in plaster is a lot different than removing it all. Tearing it down is a lot of work!

FAQ's About Drywall Services.

Answers for Sheetrock Wall Repair and Installation.

What's the process for drywall installation or repair?

The first step involves the removal of old drywall and an inspection of the current framing. From here, we take measurements and cut the ceiling and wallboards to fit openings. We want every sheet to end on a stud or joist for support. Once hung, I apply tape, corner beads, and joint compound. Some drywall services include finishing options. This where we sand and add another coat of spackle before priming and painting.

Is a downpayment required for sheetrock installations?

I normally don’t require payment until the job is complete and satisfactory. If you hire me for a large drywall replacement project, then I may invoice for material. Working capital is never a bad thing. But I’d rather have your confidence first. Business credit does give us some flexibility. I want to be as convenient as possible. Not all local drywall services operate this way. So, be sure to ask as many questions as you can.

How long does drywall work usuall take to finish?

New drywall installation does not take near as long as a demo work or a sheetrock wall repair. Like I said before, every job varies. So I try to break down my timelines into stages. Prepping, positioning and finishing. Sometimes prep work can take a few days. To repair a simple hole, it usually takes 2-3 hours. Another two hours for popcorn finish. Replacing an entire sheet can take anywhere from 3-6 hours. The main thing you have to consider is allowing the spackle to dry overnight.

What are typical material costs for drywall services?

Standard 4×8 feet drywall sheets range from 1/4″ to 5/8″ thickness. 1/2″ is used for most walls and 5/8″ for soundproofing or ceilings (to prevent sagging). They can come in fire rated and water resistant material. Each sheet can be anywhere from $15–$20. For one, 12×8′ wall, it would cost about $100 for wallboards, drywall putty, tape, screws and corners beads.

Should I repair a hole or replace drywall completely?

Providing repair options is an element of my drywall services that many homeowners value. But it’s hard to answer this question before looking at the wall. Small damage, like sheetrock cracks or nails popping out of the wall, aren’t that big of a deal. Larger holes, unique cracks and mold make things more complex. Since every home in the Memphis area is different, I’d be more than happy to take a look and provide feedback.

Who supplies the materials for your drywall projects?

Once you’ve had time to review and approve your estimate, we itemize a list of materials and determine which of my vendors has the best overall price. Sometimes it’s a hardware store and other times it’s a local lumber yard. I have the ability to order material remotely and schedule delivery.

Are you a drywall and painting contractor?

I’m an artist (when I have time), so I do include it in my drywall services. But I’m kind of a perfectionist, so I don’t promote it. If you really need someone you can trust for drywall repair and painting, I’ll get the job done for you.
