Repairing a drywall hole in Green Bay starts with assessing the damage. For small punctures, spackle or joint compound is applied directly. Larger holes require cutting out the damaged section, adding backing support if necessary, and fitting a new piece of drywall. This patch is then taped and covered with multiple thin layers of joint compound, feathered out and sanded smooth to blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall. We ensure the repair is undetectable.

Its facing paper is treated to resist moisture and mold growth better than standard drywall.

We can guide you on its proper use.
