Drywall Repair in Bay Minette, AL

Drywall repair in Bay Minette, AL
Seamless drywall repair - ready for paint in Bay Minette homes.

Bay Minette is our home, and we know many houses here were built 30-50+ years ago. Older homes develop settling cracks, nail pops, and often have popcorn ceilings that may contain asbestos (common in pre-1980 construction). We always test first before scraping popcorn. Whether you're dealing with water damage, settling cracks, or want to modernize with smooth ceilings, we handle it all with expert texture matching.

Drywall Repair Do's & Don'ts

What to do (and avoid) before and after drywall work in Bay Minette.

DO's

  • Test popcorn before scraping - Many pre-1980 Bay Minette homes have asbestos
  • Fix the leak first - No point repairing drywall if water keeps coming
  • Clear furniture from room - Dust and debris go everywhere
  • Allow full dry time - Rushing leads to cracks and paint failure
  • Use stain-blocking primer - Water stains bleed through regular primer
  • Batch multiple repairs - Save money vs. separate service calls

DON'Ts

  • Don't scrape popcorn without testing - Asbestos exposure is serious
  • Don't paint over soft drywall - Replace water-damaged sections
  • Don't skip primer on repairs - Flashing will show through paint
  • Don't use mesh tape on corners - Paper tape lasts longer on joints
  • Don't over-sand - You'll sand through the paper facing
  • Don't ignore mold - It needs remediation, not paint
