New paint makes every flaw in a wall easier to see. In offices, apartments and retail spaces, drywall repair is usually the difference between a repaint that looks new and one that looks patched.
Common problems we find
- Door-handle holes, chair-rail dents and cart damage in corridors
- Nail pops and joint cracks from building movement
- Water stains from roof or HVAC leaks, common after Tallahassee summer storms
- Old anchors and patches from tenant turnovers
Repair first, then prime
Damaged areas should be cut out or patched, taped, finished to match the surrounding texture and primed. Skipping primer on patches causes "flashing," where repaired spots look dull or shiny under the new paint.
Water damage needs the cause fixed
Never paint over an active leak. Fix the source, replace wet drywall, and use a stain-blocking primer before finish coats.
One crew for repairs and paint
Using one contractor for drywall and paint avoids scheduling gaps and finger-pointing. Alpha Contractors handles drywall, framing and painting with its own crews in Tallahassee and surrounding areas. For a commercial walk-through, call or text (850) 616-8366.
