Cracks, holes and the texture problem

Drywall repair in McKinney is mostly about two things: the cracks that open over doors and windows as the slab moves with the clay soil, and matching the texture so the patch disappears. Most homes here have knockdown or orange peel texture on the walls, and a smooth patch in the middle of it stands out from across the room. We tape and float the repair properly, prime it, match the existing texture, and paint the wall so you cannot find it. Call (972) 439-9694 for an estimate, backed by our one-year written workmanship guarantee.

Expansive clay under Collin County homes swells after heavy rain and shrinks in drought, and slab foundations move a little with it. Drywall is the first place that shows, as diagonal cracks at door and window corners, tape lines along ceiling joints, and nail pops. Plumbing leaks from a frozen pipe or a failed supply line are the other big cause of drywall work, and the wet section has to come out and be replaced rather than painted over.

Our drywall services include restoring damaged and discolored areas, patching holes in walls and ceilings, repairing tape seams and nail pops, hanging new drywall, tape, mud and float, texture matching in flat, knockdown, popcorn and orange peel, wallpaper removal, and priming and painting.

What we fix

Drywall work we handle

01

Settlement cracks

Cracks at door and window corners cut out, taped and floated rather than spackled, so they have the best chance of staying closed.

02

Holes and dents

Doorknob holes, anchor holes and moving damage patched with a backer or new piece and blended in.

03

Water damage

Stained and soft drywall from leaks cut out, dried, replaced, sealed with stain-blocking primer and painted.

04

Texture matching

Knockdown, orange peel, popcorn and smooth finishes matched to the surrounding wall or ceiling.

05

New drywall

Garage finish-outs, new walls and closets hung, taped, floated and textured.

06

Wallpaper removal

Old wallpaper stripped, the wall repaired and skimmed where needed, then primed and painted.

Why spackle cracks come back

Filling a settlement crack with spackle and painting over it looks fine for a few weeks, then the next round of seasonal movement opens it again, often wider. A lasting repair opens the crack, embeds paper or mesh tape, and floats it out wide enough that the joint can flex without showing. We also tell you when a crack looks like more than seasonal movement, such as cracks that keep widening or doors that suddenly will not close, because those are worth a foundation specialist’s opinion before the wall is repaired.

How it works

How a drywall repair runs

  1. 01

    Tell us what you need

    Call (972) 439-9694 or send the estimate form with a short description and a few photos. Our McKinney office follows up to set a time.

  2. 02

    Look and estimate

    We look at the damage, the texture and the paint, and give you a written estimate.

  3. 03

    Repair in stages

    Mud needs time to dry between coats, so larger repairs take more than one visit before texture and paint.

  4. 04

    Guaranteed in writing

    A background-checked craftsman does the work and cleans up. Our workmanship is guaranteed for one year from the invoice date, and if a defect in our work shows up in that time we repair it free of charge.

Cost

What affects the cost of drywall repair

01

Size and number of repairs

Grouping several patches into one visit is more efficient than one at a time.

02

Ceilings and height

Ceiling repairs and two-story walls take more setup.

03

Texture

Popcorn and heavy knockdown take more work to match than smooth walls.

04

Paint

Repainting the whole wall gives the best blend and is usually part of the estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I have cracks over my doors and windows?
Most Collin County homes sit on clay that swells and shrinks with moisture, and the slab moves slightly with it. Door and window corners are where that movement concentrates in drywall.
Can you match my wall texture?
Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, popcorn and smooth finishes so the repair blends in.
Will the crack come back?
Seasonal movement can reopen hairline cracks, but taping and floating gives a much longer-lasting repair than spackle. Cracks that keep widening may point to a foundation issue worth having inspected.
Can you repair water-damaged drywall?
Yes. We cut out the damaged section, replace it, seal any staining and repaint. The leak itself needs to be fixed first, which our licensed plumbers can handle.
Do you paint after the repair?
Yes. Priming and painting is part of a drywall repair so the wall looks finished.
Can you finish out my garage?
Yes. We hang, tape, float and texture garage walls and ceilings and can paint them.
Do you remove wallpaper?
Yes. We strip wallpaper, repair the wall underneath and prep it for paint.
Is drywall work covered by your guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed in writing for one year from the invoice date. If a defect in our work appears in that time, we repair it free of charge under the terms of your agreement.
