Drywall and Ceiling Repair in New Hampshire

How we repair water-damaged drywall

• Cut out the damaged drywall back to sound board
• Replace it with mold-resistant board, taped, coated and sanded smooth
• Seal with a stain-blocking primer so the water mark cannot bleed through
• Repaint the whole ceiling or wall, not just the patch

Fix the leak first

A drywall repair only lasts if the water has stopped. If the leak has not been found or fixed, we price the repair after a site visit, because the cause decides the fix. Finding and fixing the leak itself is not part of a drywall repair.

Mold

Atlas does not test, sample or assess for mold; a third-party certified assessor does. If we open a ceiling or wall and find what looks like mold, we stop and tell you. Mold remediation is not part of a drywall repair. See mold cleanup and repair.

What is not included

Insulation and framing repairs above the ceiling, and textured or popcorn ceilings, are priced separately. On homes built before 1978, we follow EPA RRP lead-safe practices when cutting into painted surfaces.

For landlords

Drywall repairs after a leak in a rental unit are part of our rental repairs work.
