Sheetrock repairs: What you need to know
Oct 7, 2022
Not all repairs are the same when it comes to damaged sheetrock in your home.
The texture of your walls (e.g., roll on application, sprayed on splatter, brush applied stomp, etc.) is like a fingerprint. While we can get very close to matching the original, perfection can be hard to achieve. What does this mean? Your houseguests won’t notice a thing, but you might…
What should you do with this information? Before you begin, determine the level of imperfection you are willing to accept. The higher your tolerance, the smaller the patch. The lower your tolerance, the larger the patch area (FYI, this could require multiple days and multiple attempts, which can be more expensive). Keep in mind, if you aren’t sure, you can always start small, assess, then expand as needed.
