Humidity and leaks cause most damage
Roof and window leaks, AC condensation and storm water are common causes of stained or soft drywall here. The source must be fixed first; then damaged board is cut out and replaced.

Our drywall process
- 1
Assess
We find the extent of the damage and confirm the cause, such as a leak, is fixed first.
- 2
Remove and hang
Damaged board is cut out and new drywall is hung and fastened.
- 3
Tape and finish
Joints are taped and finished in coats, then sanded smooth.
- 4
Match texture
Wall or ceiling texture is matched so the repair blends in.
- 5
Prime and paint
The area is primed and painted to match, so you need only one crew.
Drywall Installation & Repair in Fernandina Beach: FAQ
Can you match the texture on my Fernandina Beach walls?
Yes. We match common wall and ceiling textures so the patch blends in, then prime and paint the area to match.
What should I do about water-stained drywall?
First fix the leak or moisture source. Then stained or soft drywall is cut out, replaced, finished and painted; stains on sound drywall can be sealed with a stain-blocking primer.
Do you install new drywall for remodels?
Yes. We hang, tape and finish new drywall for remodels and additions and paint it once finishing is done.
