Tinley Park Drywall Has Its Own Issues
Tinley Park has everything from 1970s drywall with a heavy texture to newer smooth-wall construction. The repair approach changes based on the house.
Heavy texture on older walls
Homes in the older subdivisions near Tinley Park High School have thick orange peel texture. Matching it takes a practiced hand and the right spray rig.
Water damage from basements
Tinley Park's water table means basement drywall takes a beating. We cut out the swollen sections and replace with moisture-resistant board.
Settling cracks
Foundations settle in this area, especially in newer neighborhoods off 179th Street. We tape and mud the cracks so they don't come back through the paint.
Old drywall often has layers of paint that make patches stand out. We feather the compound wide enough that the repair disappears under the new paint, even from an angle.
How We Repair Drywall in a Tinley Park Home
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's one hole or an entire room of damage.
Inspect the damage
We look at every hole, crack and stain to see what needs to be replaced.
Cut out the bad section
Damaged drywall cut cleanly to the nearest studs or a square patch.
Install new drywall
New drywall screwed in tight, flush with the existing wall.
Tape the seams
Paper tape bedded in compound so the joint won't crack later.
Apply first mud coat
Thin coat of compound over the tape, feathered out wide.
Sand and apply second coat
Sanded flat, then another thin coat feathered even wider.
Final sand and texture
Sanded smooth, then texture matched to the surrounding wall.
Prime and inspect
Repair primed and checked under light, then we walk it with you.
