Local knowledge

Grayslake Drywall Has Its Own Challenges

Grayslake homes range from 1970s ranch houses to newer subdivisions, each with different drywall types and textures. How we repair them depends on when they were built.

Older drywall

Homes from the 70s and 80s use a different board thickness. When we cut out a patch, we match the original thickness so the repair sits flush.

Texture matching

Newer Grayslake homes have orange peel or knockdown texture. We match it exactly so the repair disappears into the wall.

Moisture issues

Basements in Grayslake get damp. We use moisture-resistant drywall and primer on basement repairs so it doesn't fail again.

Drywall repair that isn't done right will crack within months. Our crew does it right so you don't see the repair at all.
