Drywall Repair Do's & Don'ts

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

✓ DO's

Document settling cracks - Take photos for builder warranty claims
Wait for settling to stop - New homes settle 1-2 years
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 DIY settling cracks - They'll return if not properly retaped
Don't ignore recurring cracks - May indicate foundation issues
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 paint until fully cured - Wait 24+ hours after mud
