Corner Bead Repair in Clearwater, FL
With the Gulf and Tampa Bay on both sides, Pinellas homes in beach communities often show rusting metal corner bead, especially in bathrooms and rooms facing the water. Replacing it with a non-rusting bead is usually the long-term fix. Corner bead repair restores outside wall corners where the metal, vinyl or paper-faced bead has been dented, cracked loose, delaminated or rusted.

How the repair works
Inspect the corner
We check whether the bead is bent, loose, delaminated or rusted, and how far the damage runs.
Cut out the bad section
Compound is scored on both faces and the damaged bead is removed back to sound material.
Install and align new bead
A new length is set dead straight with the existing edge and bedded or fastened firmly.
Finish both faces
Compound is feathered wide, texture matched and the area primed and touch-up painted.

Corner Bead Repair questions
Is corner bead repair messy?
It involves cutting and sanding, so we cover floors and furniture and use HEPA dust control to keep dust contained.
How many corners can be done in one visit?
Several corners in the same home are commonly repaired together. Send photos of each and the quote will cover them all.
What is corner bead made of?
Usually galvanised steel, paper-faced metal or vinyl. Each forms the straight edge that compound is finished over on an outside corner.
How can I tell if my corner bead is loose?
Press gently along the corner. If it flexes, clicks or you see a crack opening as you push, the bead has come away from the framing.
