Drywall provides the smooth, stable canvas for your home's interior. But when life happens—dents, holes, or cracks—the repair method matters. Slapping on cheap compound isn't enough for a lasting fix.
Common Damage Needing Durable Repair
- Small Dents & Dings: Everyday impacts from furniture or door handles.
- Holes: From moving art, electrical work, or accidents.
- Cracks: Caused by settling foundations or temperature fluctuations.
- Moisture Damage: Staining or sagging from humidity or leaks.
The Essential Materials for Durability
Lasting repairs require a system of high-quality materials, not just a tub of spackle.
1. Joint Compound (Drywall Mud)
The choice between Drying-Type (pre-mixed, easy to sand) and Setting-Type ("Hot Mud," chemical hardening) is key. We often use Setting-Type for deeper repairs because it's harder, shrinks less, and resists mold—crucial in humid climates.
2. Reinforcement Tape
Paper Tape is the traditional standard for strong, sharp corners. Fiberglass Mesh is excellent for patches but requires setting-type compound for strength. We select the right reinforcement for the specific stress load of the crack.
Why Material Quality Matters
Using professional-grade materials ensures that the repair doesn't just look good today, but stays invisible for years. It prevents checking, cracking, or "flashing" (where the repair shows through the paint).
