The skilled team at Gordon Painting is equipped to repair or replace drywall and seamlessly refinish surfaces with your choice of paint, wallpaper, or specialty finishes.

Drywall damage happens—from everyday wear and tear to accidents, water leaks, and home improvement projects. The challenge is making repairs invisible. That's where our expertise makes the difference. At Gordon Painting, we don't just patch walls; we restore them to like-new condition with repairs that blend seamlessly with the surrounding surface.
Common Drywall Issues We Fix
- Loose Drywall Tape: Bubbling or peeling tape along seams is a common issue, especially in older homes. We remove the damaged tape, re-tape and mud the seam, and blend it perfectly with the surrounding wall.
- Tension Cracks: These typically appear at corners of windows, doors, and ceilings as houses settle. We repair the crack and reinforce the area to prevent recurrence.
- Ceiling Stains: Water stains from roof leaks or plumbing issues are unsightly. Once the source is fixed, we seal the stain and restore your ceiling to its original appearance.
- Furniture Scuffs: Scrapes and dents from moving furniture or everyday living are easily repaired with our expert touch.
- Dented Corners: Corner damage is common in high-traffic areas. We replace damaged corner bead and restore crisp, clean edges.
- Popping Nails: Nails or screws that push through the surface as the house settles can be properly secured and concealed.
- Water Damage: From minor staining to sections that need replacement, we assess and repair water-damaged drywall properly.
- Holes: From small nail holes to large openings, we have techniques for seamless repairs of any size.
Priming Drywall
Proper priming is essential after drywall repairs to ensure a smooth, even surface. Without it, paint can absorb unevenly into the repair area, leaving a patchy finish that makes the repair visible. Our process includes sanding, cleaning, and applying a high-quality primer to seal the drywall and prepare it for a perfect coat of paint.
The priming method depends on the repair size. Small patches receive direct priming over the spackle or joint compound, while larger repairs may require a full wall re-prime for a seamless look. We take the extra steps necessary to ensure your repairs are truly invisible.

How do you make drywall repairs invisible?
Invisible repairs require proper technique: We use the right compound for each repair type, feather the edges to blend with the surrounding wall, sand to a smooth finish, and apply primer designed to equalize absorption. Most importantly, we take the time to do it right—rushing is the enemy of seamless repairs.
Can you repair water-damaged drywall?
Yes, but the water source must be fixed first. We assess the extent of the damage—sometimes drywall can be dried and repaired, while heavily damaged sections need replacement. We also check for mold growth and address any concerns before closing up the repair.
Do I need to repair drywall before painting?
For the best results, yes. Paint highlights imperfections—it doesn't hide them. Cracks, holes, dents, and texture inconsistencies will show through even the best paint job. Proper drywall repair before painting ensures a smooth, professional-looking finish.
How big of a hole can you repair in drywall?
We can repair holes of any size. Small holes up to a few inches are patched with mesh tape and joint compound. Larger holes require a drywall patch or new section of drywall. Even large repairs can be made virtually invisible with proper technique.
Does drywall repair cost extra on a painting project?
Minor repairs like nail holes and small cracks are typically included in painting projects. More extensive repairs are quoted separately based on the scope of work. During your free estimate, we'll identify all repairs needed and provide transparent pricing.
