Types of Drywall Repair We Handle
Hole Repair
Doorknob holes, accidental damage, anchor pulls, and any size hole up to full panel replacement. We patch, tape, mud, and texture match so the repair is completely invisible.
Crack Repair
Settlement cracks, stress cracks, and hairline cracks in walls and ceilings. We identify the cause, repair the crack properly, and prevent it from returning.
Water Damage Repair
Water-stained, bubbled, or soft drywall from roof leaks, plumbing issues, or humidity. We remove damaged sections, treat for mold, and install new drywall with a clean finish.
Ceiling Repair
Sagging ceilings, popcorn ceiling patches, water stains, and full ceiling panel replacement. One of the most common and most satisfying repairs we do.
Texture Matching
Orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, smooth, we match any existing texture so your repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall.
Full Panel Replacement
Large damage, mold remediation, or renovation work requiring full sheet replacement. We handle framing, hanging, taping, mudding, and finishing.
Common Causes of Drywall Damage in Florida Homes
Florida's climate creates unique challenges for drywall. Here are the most common causes we see in Clermont and Orlando homes:
- Humidity and moisture, Florida's high humidity causes drywall to absorb moisture over time, leading to soft spots, bubbling, and mold growth
- Hurricane and storm damage, wind-driven rain and roof leaks during storms are a leading cause of ceiling and wall water damage
- AC condensation, improperly insulated AC ducts can drip condensation onto ceilings, creating soft spots and stains
- Foundation settling, Central Florida's sandy soil causes homes to settle, creating cracks along walls and ceilings
- Plumbing leaks, slow leaks behind walls or above ceilings that go unnoticed until the drywall is already damaged
- Everyday wear, doorknob holes, furniture scrapes, TV mount removal, and general household damage
Our Drywall Repair Process
Assessment
We inspect the damaged area to determine the extent of the repair, identify any underlying issues like moisture or mold, and provide a clear estimate before any work begins.
Preparation
We protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths, remove damaged drywall sections, and treat any moisture or mold before patching. No shortcuts on prep.
Repair & Finishing
We patch, tape, and apply joint compound in multiple coats for a smooth, flush finish. Sanding between coats ensures a perfectly flat surface ready for texture.
Texture Matching
We apply the matching texture, orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth, using the same technique as the original wall for a seamless, invisible repair.
Cleanup
We remove all dust, materials, and drop cloths and leave your home completely clean. The repair is primed and ready for your painter, or we can paint-match on request.
Why Texture Matching Matters
The most common complaint homeowners have after a drywall repair is that the patch is visible, either because it's too smooth against an orange peel wall, or the texture pattern doesn't match the surrounding area. This is where inexperienced contractors fall short.
At Elux Builds, texture matching is a skill we've spent years perfecting. We identify your exact wall texture type, mix the right compound consistency, and apply it using the same technique as the original, whether that's a spray gun for orange peel, a drywall knife for knockdown, or a trowel for smooth finish. The result is a repair that you literally cannot find once painted.
Drywall Repair vs Replacement, What Do You Need?
Not every drywall issue requires full replacement. Here's a simple guide:
- Small holes (under 6 inches), patch repair, no new drywall needed
- Large holes (over 6 inches), backing board and new drywall section
- Surface cracks, tape and compound repair
- Water damage with soft spots, cut out and replace affected sections
- Mold present, full removal, treatment, and replacement required
- Sagging ceiling, depends on cause; may need full panel replacement
We'll always recommend the most cost-effective solution during our free estimate visit.
