Ceiling repair, hole patching, cracks, water damage, and texture matching in Addison — done by a crew that only repairs drywall.
Addison is small, dense, and full of multifamily, and our work here reflects that almost exactly.
Where a suburb full of single-family homes generates homeowner calls, Addison generates turn work — units that need to be rent-ready, and need to be rent-ready on a schedule. That is a different rhythm and we are set up for it.
Blackland clay swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries. Your house rides that. Drywall does not.
More on sheetrock replacement if that is what you have. A unit comes empty and the walls tell you everything about the last tenant. Anchor holes in rows where shelving was. A doorknob punch in the hallway. A crater where a TV mount pulled out of drywall instead of studs. None of it is hard. All of it has to be gone before listing photos.
ceiling drywall repair covers this in detail. Multifamily also stacks bathrooms over living space, which produces the call we take most often in this city: a stain on a ceiling with a bathroom directly above it.
Need this handled? See drywall hole repair. And matching, because a unit with a wall full of visible patches photographs badly no matter how sound the patches are.
Have a look at getting the texture right. Less common in newer multifamily, but the older buildings here have their share.
Honestly? Predictability. The repair is not the hard part — the hard part is knowing it will be done when you said, so the listing goes up when it should.
Which is why we ask for the whole list on the phone rather than one item at a time. Multiple repairs in one unit are more efficient done together, because the mud coats dry in parallel rather than in sequence. A wall with six anchor holes and a doorknob punch is one visit, not seven.
Give us the unit count and the timeline when you call and we will tell you straight whether it fits.
It deserves its own note because we see so much of it here. A mount pulls out of drywall and it does not leave a clean hole — it leaves a blown-out crater with anchors still in it and cracking well beyond the visible damage.
The repair is straightforward. The advice attached to it is the part worth hearing: mount into studs. Drywall anchors are not rated for the leverage a TV arm applies. A repair that goes back under the same mount with the same anchors has a countdown on it.
Addison is a short run from our Plano base, which is why turn work with a real deadline is something we can commit to rather than hope about.
Call, give us the list, get the number. Floors protected, work done, texture matched, space clean.
Give us the whole list at once. That is the single most useful thing.
Multiple repairs in one unit are dramatically more efficient done together than one at a time, because compound coats dry in parallel rather than in sequence. A wall with six anchor holes, a doorknob punch, and a corner ding is one visit. The same damage reported to us three separate times is three visits and three drying cycles.
Unit count, address, and your actual deadline. If the deadline does not work we will say so on the phone rather than discovering it together on the day.
Demising walls between units and the walls around corridors and stairwells are often fire-rated assemblies, and the drywall in them is part of the rating. That matters: repairing a penetration in a rated wall is not the same as patching a bedroom, because the assembly has to go back the way it was specified — right board type, right thickness, joints treated correctly.
If a repair is in a rated assembly, tell us. If you are not sure, tell us where it is and we will work it out. Quietly patching a rated wall with whatever was in the van is not something we are willing to do.
Similarly, some party walls are built for sound attenuation — resilient channel, double board, sometimes insulation in the cavity. A patch that ignores the assembly gives you a wall that transmits sound at exactly one spot, and the tenant on the other side will find it.
An honest note, since you are running the numbers and we would rather you run them correctly.
Not every hole needs to be perfect. A wall of anchor holes behind where the next tenant's furniture will sit is not the same job as a doorknob punch in a hallway that shows in the listing photos. We are happy to do both, but we are also happy to tell you which ones actually affect the photos and which ones are you spending money on drywall nobody will ever look at.
That conversation costs us money and we would rather have it. Property managers who trust our scoping call us again.
Since most of our Addison work exists to get a unit photographed and listed, it is worth being precise about what a camera actually finds.
Anything in raking light. A wall with a window down its length is lit at a low angle, and that angle turns every ridge and every texture edge into a shadow. Patches on those walls have to be genuinely right. Patches on a wall lit flat are far more forgiving.
Anything at eye level in a hallway. Hallways are narrow, so the camera is close and the wall fills the frame. A doorknob punch in a hallway is the most visible repair in a unit.
Texture mismatches, always. A camera finds a texture mismatch better than a person does, because it flattens the scene and the mismatch becomes a shape rather than a subtle difference.
What a camera generally does not find: small anchor holes on a flat-lit wall where furniture will sit. We are happy to fix them. We are also happy to tell you they will not change your photos.
Drywall repair in an occupied unit is a different job from an empty one, and the difference is dust and drying time.
Compound has to dry between coats. That is not us being slow — recoating wet compound gives you shrinkage cracks later. A repair needing three coats has two waits built into it that nothing can compress.
In an empty unit that is fine. In an occupied one it means we are in and out across a couple of visits, or the tenant lives with a taped wall for a day. Tell us which situation we are walking into and we will plan the coats around it rather than discovering the constraint on site.
Short list, clear edges. We do not paint — we repair and texture, the painting is yours or your painter's. We do not remodel or frame. We do not do plumbing or roofing, so when a ceiling stain has a live source above it, that trade goes first. We do not do mold remediation; significant growth gets handled before new board goes in.
And we do not do foundation work. If a crack pattern suggests movement beyond normal seasonal soil behavior, we will tell you and then get out of the way rather than cosmetically closing something that reopens.
Predictable scheduling you can build a listing date around. A price before the work starts. Texture matched so the unit photographs clean. And a straight answer when a repair will not change your photos — including when that costs us the line item.

We are not a general remodeler that also patches walls. Drywall repair is the entire business, so the crew that shows up has done your exact repair many times over.
A patch that is flat but wrong-textured is still a visible repair. We match orange peel, knockdown, and hand textures so the wall reads as one surface.
Drywall work makes dust. We mask off, protect floors and furniture, and leave the room usable when we go.
Some damage needs a patch. Some needs a sheet replaced. We tell you which one you actually have before any work starts.
We are based in Plano and cover Addison as part of a deliberately tight North Dallas service area. It is how the schedule stays honest and how we get to your repair when we said we would.
Yes. Addison is inside our regular North Dallas service area and we take jobs across the whole city, not just the parts near our Plano base. Call (972) 469-5046 and tell us the cross streets if you want to confirm.
Pricing starts at $300 for any job, however small. Beyond that it depends on the size of the damage, the texture that has to be matched, and how many coats the finish needs. Text a photo for a free virtual estimate and we will give you a real number rather than a range.
Virtual estimates are free — text or email a photo and we come back with a real number, no charge and no obligation. In-person estimates are $100, credited back against your job when you book with us.
Most Addison repairs are booked within a few days, and a texted photo lets us confirm the scope before we drive out. If it is urgent, say so on the call and we will tell you honestly what the route allows.
The whole area sits on Blackland clay, which swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries. That movement travels up through the foundation and the drywall telegraphs it — usually as diagonal cracks at door and window corners and hairlines along ceiling seams. It is the regional signature, not a sign the house is failing.
Yes, and it is most of the job. We match to what is actually on your wall — orange peel, knockdown, or a hand-applied texture — rather than to a standard tip, so the repair disappears instead of showing up as a patch at the wrong angle.
Just the drywall — that is deliberate. We cut, hang, tape, float, and texture-match, and we do not paint, frame, or remodel. When your repair needs a plumber or a roofer first, we will tell you and wait rather than close a wall over a live problem.
It is, but here is the honest advice: if you only have one small hole, wait until you have a list. Several repairs in one visit cost barely more than one, because the coats all dry in parallel. That is the cheapest way to use us and almost nobody thinks of it.
Yes, and the first question is whether the source is dead. A stain that has not grown in a year is a dead source and we can move immediately; one that grew after the last rain needs the leak fixed first. Send a photo of the whole stain and we can usually read it from the shape.
