Your local drywall crew
Drywall repair in Columbia, MO, from a crew that knows the housing
Columbia is our home. We live here, we went to school here, and we drive every corner of it — from the 1910s bungalows of the Old Southwest and Benton-Stephens, through the mid-century ranches around Parkade and Shepard Boulevard, to the knockdown-textured subdivisions south of Nifong and the new construction out east on Route WW and north along Rangeline. That range of housing is exactly why texture matching matters here: a patch done the way a 2005 Rock Bridge house needs it would look obvious in a 1925 plaster home on Westmount.
Because we're local and small, calls and texts go to one of the two of us — not a call center — and most quotes come back within the hour, Monday through Saturday. Same-week scheduling is normal for anything inside the city, and during move-out season we run multiple apartment visits a day around campus.

What we see most
The Drywall Problems We Fix Most in Columbia Homes
-
Settling cracks in the 1990s–2000s subdivisions
Diagonal cracks off door and window corners and cracks at inside corners in the south-side developments. Mid-Missouri clay soil and seasonal humidity swings keep these houses moving.
-
Nail pops in newer construction
Rows of pops on ceilings and exterior walls in homes built in the last few years out east and north, once the builder's one-year warranty has run out.
-
Popcorn ceilings in the mid-century neighborhoods
Original 1960s–80s popcorn in Parkade, Rothwell Heights and the Shepard area. Removal and a smooth or knockdown refinish is one of our most requested jobs.
-
Plaster cracks in the historic districts
Map cracks, loose plaster and old anchor holes in pre-1950 homes in the Old Southwest, Benton-Stephens, East Campus and West Broadway.
-
Water damage from roofs, pipes and upstairs bathrooms
Ceiling stains after spring storms, burst pipes in January, and leaks from the unit above in apartments and townhomes.
-
Rental move-out damage
Doorknob holes, TV-mount holes and moving dings in student apartments and rental houses near campus, patched flat-rate before the inspection.
Whether it's a hallway doorknob hole in a Thornbrook two-story, a sagging plaster ceiling on a Benton-Stephens bungalow, or twenty units to turn over on Old 63 in August, we know the textures and the housing, and we match them right the first time.
