Service FAQ

Drywall Repair & Patching

How much does drywall repair cost in San Antonio?

It depends on the size of the damage, the texture and whether the area needs paint. Small patches cost much less than ceiling or full-sheet repairs. We give you a free written estimate before any work begins.

Can you match my existing wall texture?

Yes. We match common San Antonio textures such as orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel and smooth finishes so the repair blends in with the rest of the wall.

How long does a drywall repair take?

Most small repairs are finished in one or two visits, because joint compound and texture need time to dry between coats. Larger repairs can take a few days.

Do you paint after the repair?

Every repair is primed and left paint-ready. Ask about painting when you request your estimate.

Service FAQ

Water Damage Restoration

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage repairs?

Many policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, but not damage from long-term leaks or flooding without flood coverage. We document the damage and work with your adjuster; your insurance company decides what is covered.

Do you bill my insurance company directly?

Yes. For approved claims we can bill your insurance company directly, and you usually only pay your deductible.

Does wet drywall always need to be replaced?

Not always. Drywall that dries quickly and stays firm can sometimes be saved, but drywall that is soft, swollen, crumbling or was soaked by dirty water should be replaced. We check moisture levels before recommending a repair.

How long does water damage restoration take?

Drying usually takes a few days, and rebuilding depends on how much drywall and insulation was affected. We give you a timeline with your written estimate.

Service FAQ

Water Damage Remediation & Dry-Out

What should I do first when I find a water leak?

Shut off the water at the main valve if you can, turn off electricity to wet areas if it is safe, move valuables away from the water and call us at (210) 425-7114. Take photos for your insurance claim.

Do you offer emergency water damage service at night and on weekends?

Yes. Our emergency line at (210) 425-7114 is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

How quickly does mold grow after water damage?

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation, which is why it is important to remove water and start drying as soon as possible.

How do you know when everything is dry?

We take moisture readings of walls, cavities and floors and keep drying until the readings return to normal levels before rebuilding.

Service FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Repair

Can smoke-damaged drywall be cleaned instead of replaced?

Light soot on sealed surfaces can sometimes be cleaned and sealed, but drywall that is burned, charred or holds a strong smoke odor usually needs to be replaced. We inspect the damage and explain your options.

Do you work with insurance on fire damage claims?

Yes. We document the fire, smoke and water damage with photos and measurements, prepare an itemized estimate for your adjuster and can bill your insurance company directly for approved work.

Do you repair water damage caused by putting out the fire?

Yes. Fire repairs often include water damage from firefighting, and we repair both as part of the same project.

Interior Demolition

Do you haul away the debris?

Yes. Debris removal and haul-away are part of our interior demolition service, and we leave the area broom-clean.

Can you remove just part of a wall or ceiling?

Can you rebuild after the demolition?

Yes. We can install new drywall, tape, texture and leave the walls paint-ready, so one team handles the whole job.
