Drywall Repair Macon GA
From a doorknob hole to a ceiling collapsed by an upstairs leak, we repair drywall throughout Macon and Middle Georgia. Every repair gets the same attention to detail — proper backing, three coats of mud, feathered seams, matching texture, and primer-ready surfaces that disappear after paint.
Hole Repair — Nail Holes to Large Damage
Small nail and screw holes get spackled, sanded, and spot-primed in a single visit. Medium holes up to about 4" — typically doorknobs through walls — are patched with mesh-and-mud or a California patch so the repair is rigid and won't crack again. Larger holes get a backed drywall patch: we cut a clean rectangle, attach wood backing inside the cavity, screw in a matching piece of drywall, then tape, mud, sand, and texture match.
Water Damage Repair
Water-damaged drywall is one of the most common repair jobs in Macon. Roof leaks, burst supply lines, AC condensate drains, and second-floor toilet overflows all leave the same telltale stains, bubbling paint, and soft spots. Before we touch the drywall we verify the leak source is fixed and the cavity is dry. We then cut out everything compromised, treat any framing for mold if needed, and replace with new board, matched texture, and primer.
Crack Repair
Most cracks in Middle Georgia homes come from seasonal humidity swings and slight foundation settling on our red clay soil. Hairline cracks at door corners are normal and we repair with mesh tape and three feathered mud coats. Wider or recurring cracks usually mean a stress point that needs to be addressed — we'll diagnose and tell you straight if it's drywall work or something a structural pro should look at first.
Texture Matching
A repair is only invisible if the texture matches. We carry every texture rig in the truck — orange peel and knockdown spray equipment, skip trowel hawks and trowels, and the patience to hand-stipple smaller patches. We'll match orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, smooth Level 5, and even older popcorn and acoustic textures when needed.
Common Causes of Damage in Middle Georgia
Macon's hot, humid summers and afternoon thunderstorms create unique stresses on drywall: humidity cycles loosen tape, summer storms blow water in around windows, and our occasional winter cold snaps stress poorly insulated walls. AC condensate lines hidden in walls are a frequent culprit for surprise water damage.
Repair Pricing
Most drywall repairs in Macon fall between $75 and $400 depending on size, height, and texture. A handful of nail holes touched up runs around $75–$125. A doorknob-sized patch runs $125–$225. A large 2'×2' patch with texture match runs $250–$400. Water damage and ceiling work is quoted after we see the extent of the moisture damage.
