What affects the price
Drywall projects vary based on a few main factors. The total square footage, the height of your ceilings, and the level of finish required—like smooth wall versus textured—are the biggest drivers. If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
These sponges are used for fine-tuning corners and tight spots where a large sander won't reach. Pros use them to feather out edges of joint compound so the transition between the patch and the wall is invisible. You need this when finishing small repairs or detailed trim work. Because it is a detail-oriented task, the time involved depends on how much sanding is needed for a smooth finish; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Atlanta
What causes bulging drywall?
Bulging drywall can be caused by several factors, including moisture that causes the gypsum core to expand, or improper installation where fasteners are not set correctly or the drywall is not adequately supported by framing. Structural shifts in the building can also put pressure on the drywall, leading to bulges. Addressing the underlying cause is essential for a lasting repair.
What tools are needed for drywall repair?
Drywall repair often requires a few basic tools: a utility knife for cutting, a putty knife or drywall knife for applying joint compound, a sanding sponge or block for smoothing, and a drywall patch or tape. For larger repairs, a drywall saw and potentially a drywall screw gun might be useful. Having the right tools ensures a cleaner, more efficient repair process.
What are drywall finishing tools?
This includes joint knives of various sizes for applying mud, mud pans or buckets for holding compound, and sanding tools like sponges, blocks, or pole sanders. Taping knives are specifically designed to embed drywall tape into the joint compound. These tools are essential for achieving a professional finish.
What causes drywall bulge?
A drywall bulge can be caused by moisture, which causes the gypsum core to swell. Improper installation, such as screws not being set correctly or inadequate framing support, can also lead to bulges. Additionally, structural settling or movement within the building can put stress on the drywall, resulting in an outward push and a visible bulge. Identifying the cause is key to repair.

How do you patch a hole in drywall?
Patching a hole in drywall involves cleaning the damaged area, cutting away loose material, and applying a patch. This patch can be a piece of new drywall, mesh tape, or a specialized repair kit. Joint compound is then applied over the patch in multiple thin layers, with sanding between each coat. The aim is to blend the repair seamlessly with the surrounding wall surface.
What are moisture-resistant and mold-resistant drywall?
Moisture-resistant drywall has a facing that offers some protection against humidity and is suitable for areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Mold-resistant drywall goes a step further, with a facing and core designed to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew. Both are important for maintaining healthy indoor environments in Atlanta homes, especially in potentially damp areas.
