Drywall Repair in Daphne, AL

Daphne's rapid growth means many homes are just 5-15 years old - and that's exactly when nail pops and settling cracks start appearing. We see this constantly in Lake Forest, Belforest, and the newer subdivisions along Highway 181. Whether it's nail pops from settling, water damage from bay storms, or preparing walls for sale, we handle it all. Many HOAs refer homeowners to us for consistent, reliable repairs.

Drywall Repair Do's & Don'ts

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

✓ DO's

Document nail pops early - May be covered under builder warranty
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 just spackle over nail pops - They'll come back without proper fix
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
