Mundelein Walls Have Their Own Challenges
Mundelein has homes from the 1950s to new construction, with different wall materials and different problems. That changes how we approach the repair.
Plaster and lath
Older Mundelein houses have real plaster over wood lath. It cracks differently than drywall and needs special prep to keep the repair from showing.
Humidity issues
Near Diamond Lake and other water bodies, basements and crawl spaces hold moisture. Water-damaged drywall has to be cut out, not just painted over.
Settling cracks
Lake County clay soil shifts with weather changes. Walls move and crack. We use tape and compound that handles drywall repair in Mundelein without cracking again.
A patch that's not properly taped and mudded will crack again in months. We do it right so you don't have to call us back for the same spot.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every drywall call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the wall looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Improper taping or mudding leaves a ridge that paint highlights instead of hiding.
Paper tape and lightweight mud don't hold. The crack reappears in months.
Different texture on the repair stands out against the rest of the wall.
What you get
Three mud coats, properly sanded, and texture matched so the patch disappears.
Mesh tape and quality compound mean the crack doesn't reappear.
We match your wall texture exactly, whether smooth or textured.
