Drywall textures — Milwaukee, WI

Patching a hole in drywall depends on its size. For small holes, like nail pops, spackle is often used. For larger holes, you might need to cut out the damaged area and insert a drywall patch or a new piece of drywall. Joint compound is then applied over the patch and feathered out to blend with the surrounding wall. Multiple coats and sanding are usually required for a smooth finish. Call us for a free quote.

Level 5 drywall finish is the highest quality finish available. It involves applying a thin skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface of the drywall, after all taping and filling is complete. This is followed by sanding. This extra step creates an exceptionally smooth and uniform surface, ideal for high-gloss paints or critical lighting conditions where imperfections would be highly visible.

Drywall sheets, also known as gypsum board or wallboard, are large panels used to create interior walls and ceilings. They are made of a gypsum plaster core sandwiched between two layers of paper. These sheets are attached to the framing of a building, and then the seams between them are covered with joint compound and tape. This process creates a smooth, continuous surface ready for painting or other finishes. Call us for a free quote.

To properly spackle small holes in your walls, start by cleaning the area around the hole. Apply a small amount of spackle with a putty knife, pressing it into the hole. Smooth it over, feathering the edges. Allow it to dry completely, then lightly sand it smooth. For deeper holes, a second application might be necessary to achieve a level surface. This simple process can greatly improve your wall's appearance. Call us for a free quote.

Drywall corners are the inside and outside angles where two drywall surfaces meet. Inside corners are typically finished by embedding drywall tape in joint compound and applying it evenly. Outside corners are reinforced with metal or vinyl corner bead, which is then covered with joint compound. Proper finishing creates clean, durable lines that prevent cracking and damage.

Bulging drywall is often caused by moisture getting behind the panel, making the gypsum core swell. It can also happen if the fasteners holding the drywall to the studs loosen over time. Sometimes, improper installation or the paper facing delaminating can lead to bulges. Fixing it usually involves identifying and addressing the moisture source, then repairing or replacing the damaged section. This often requires professional skill.
