Professional Drywall Repair in Pontotoc, Mississippi

Damaged drywall detracts from your Pontotoc home's appearance and can indicate bigger problems like water leaks or settling foundations. At M&T Handyman LLC, we provide expert drywall repair services throughout Pontotoc County, fixing everything from small nail holes to large damaged sections. Whether you need repairs in your historic downtown Pontotoc home or a newer house near Lake Pontotoc, we deliver seamless results that make damage disappear.

Common Drywall Damage in Pontotoc Homes

Pontotoc's clay soil and weather patterns create unique challenges for drywall. Foundation settling, humidity fluctuations, and occasional plumbing leaks all contribute to drywall damage. Here's what we commonly repair in Pontotoc homes:

Holes and Punctures

From doorknob impacts to furniture moves gone wrong, holes happen. Small holes (under 6 inches) are patched with compound and mesh tape. Larger holes require cutting out the damaged section and installing new drywall backed by support boards. We match your wall texture perfectly so repairs blend invisibly.

Cracks from Settlement

Pontotoc's expansive clay soil causes foundations to shift slightly over time, creating stress cracks in drywall—especially at door frames and ceiling corners. We repair the cracks and address underlying causes to prevent recurrence. For Pontotoc homes with ongoing settlement, we can install flexible caulking that accommodates minor movement.

Water Damage

Roof leaks, plumbing failures, and HVAC condensation can saturate drywall. Water-damaged drywall must be removed and replaced—it can't be saved once wet. We identify the moisture source, remove damaged material, dry the area thoroughly, and install new drywall. For Pontotoc homes with recurring leaks, we also repair the source problem.

Texture Matching

The hardest part of drywall repair is matching existing texture. Whether your Pontotoc home has orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth finish, we recreate it perfectly. After years of experience, we've matched every texture type in Pontotoc County homes.

Our Drywall Repair Process

Professional drywall repair involves more than slapping compound on a hole. Here's our proven process for Pontotoc homes:

  1. Damage Assessment: We examine the damage, check for underlying issues like moisture or settling, and determine the best repair method.
  2. Area Preparation: We protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths, ensuring clean work in your Pontotoc home.
  3. Repair Work: Small holes get compound and mesh. Large holes receive new drywall sections precisely cut and secured.
  4. Compound Application: We apply joint compound in thin layers, allowing proper drying between coats for strength and smoothness.
  5. Sanding: Smooth sanding creates a perfect surface for texture and paint. We use dust-control methods to minimize mess.
  6. Texture Matching: Using specialized tools and techniques, we recreate your exact wall texture.
  7. Priming and Painting: We prime repairs and paint to match your existing wall color (bring us a paint sample or color code).
  8. Final Inspection: We check all repairs in different lighting to ensure invisible blending.
  9. Clean-Up: We leave your Pontotoc home cleaner than we found it, with all debris removed.
