Why Fixing a Drywall Isn’t Just a DIY Job

Posted by First Quality Roofing & Insulation on Jul 1, 2025 4:54:57 PM

Drywall is one of the most common building materials in homes and commercial properties—but it’s also prone to damage. From small nail holes to large cracks or water damage, fixing a drywall issue properly requires the right tools, materials, and expertise.

While minor repairs might seem simple, a professional touch ensures a smooth, long-lasting result that blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

Common Drywall Problems That Need Repair

Here are a few of the most frequent drywall issues property owners in Las Vegas encounter:

1. Holes and Dents

Accidental impacts from doors, furniture, or daily wear can leave unsightly holes or dents. While small holes may be patched with spackle, larger damage often needs a drywall panel replacement.

2. Cracks

Cracks near windows, doors, or ceilings can indicate structural settling. If left untreated, they may grow worse. A professional can assess the cause and apply a lasting repair.

3. Water Damage

Leaky pipes or roof issues can cause drywall to swell, stain, or crumble. Fixing water-damaged drywall involves removing the compromised section, resolving the source of the leak, and installing new drywall.

4. Nail Pops

These small bulges or bumps happen when nails or screws push out of the drywall surface. Fixing them means resetting the fasteners and patching the surface correctly.

Steps to Fixing a Drywall Professionally

While DIY kits are available, professional drywall repair ensures a flawless finish. Here’s how it’s typically done:

  1. Assessment: Identifying the type and extent of the damage.
  2. Preparation: Protecting the surrounding area and gathering the right materials.
  3. Cutting and Replacing: Removing damaged drywall sections and cutting replacements to size.
  4. Taping and Mudding: Sealing joints with tape and joint compound for a smooth surface.
  5. Sanding and Painting: Once dry, the area is sanded and painted to match existing walls.
