Drywall Repair and Patching

Before any painting project begins, it’s essential that the surface is smooth and free of imperfections. We offer comprehensive drywall repair services to address issues like:


  • Holes: Whether caused by accidental damage or the installation of new fixtures, we patch holes of all sizes to ensure a smooth surface.
  • Cracks and Gaps: Over time, drywall can develop cracks. Our team expertly repairs these areas, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the surrounding surface.
  • Water Damage: Water-damaged drywall can ruin the final look of a paint job. We replace and repair water-damaged sections to restore the integrity of your walls.

Caulking and Sealing

Caulking is a crucial step in surface preparation, especially in areas where gaps between walls, trim, and other surfaces can impact the final appearance of your paint job. Our caulking and sealing services include:


  • Gaps in Trim: We apply professional-grade caulking to seal gaps between baseboards, crown molding, and other trim for a polished, finished look.
  • Window and Door Frames: Proper sealing around window and door frames not only improves the appearance but also helps with insulation and moisture control.
  • Prevention of Future Cracking: Our caulking process helps prevent future cracking by providing flexibility between surfaces, ensuring your paint job stays flawless over time.

Priming for a Lasting Finish

Priming is essential to ensuring your paint adheres properly and lasts for years. We use high-quality primers to create the ideal surface for painting, addressing issues like:

Stain Blocking

Stubborn stains such as water marks, smoke damage, or ink can bleed through paint if not properly primed. We use stain-blocking primers to seal these marks and provide a clean surface for paint.
