How a damaged drywall replacement job runs
Locate sound board
We test outward from the damage to find where the drywall is firm and dry, and set the cut line beyond it.
Cut out under containment
The section is removed with dust control running, with edges placed on framing or backed for support.
Inspect and fit new board
The cavity is checked for moisture and mold, then new board of matching thickness is screwed in and taped.
Blend and touch up
Joints are feathered, texture is matched, and the area is primed and touch-up painted to disappear into the wall.

Damaged Drywall Replacement questions
Can you replace a damaged section of ceiling?
Yes, a localised area such as the spot under a bathroom leak. If most of the ceiling is sagging or soaked, that is a full ceiling replacement, which we refer to a drywall installer or general contractor.
What board do you use in bathrooms?
Moisture- and mold-resistant drywall of the same thickness as the existing wall. It is not waterproof, so we do not use it inside a tiled shower; tile backer repairs belong to a tile contractor.
Should the leak be fixed before you start?
Yes. We will not close up a cavity while water is still getting in. Once the plumber or roofer has fixed the source and the framing is dry, we replace the drywall section.
Will I see the outline of the new section?
Not when it is finished properly. Matching the board thickness, feathering joints wide and matching texture before priming and touching up is what keeps the outline from showing.
