Corner Bead Repair for Tampa homes
Tampa wraps around the head of Tampa Bay, with the Hillsborough River running through older neighbourhoods such as Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights. Its homes range from plaster-walled bungalows and post-war block houses to newer construction in New Tampa and condo towers downtown, so repair methods vary block by block.
Tampa condos facing big windows show seams under raking light, so repairs there are skimmed out wide and taken to a Level 5 finish before the touch-up paint goes on.

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
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.
Why does rust appear on wall corners?
Galvanised metal bead can corrode when exposed to moisture or salt air over time. The rust bleeds through paint as orange streaks.
