Sheetrock & Drywall Patching Services

Drywall repairs reveal more about a contractor's craft than almost any other trade task. New installation is straightforward — hang panels, tape, mud, sand. But patching an existing wall invisibly requires an understanding of texture, material behavior, and finishing sequence that generalists rarely develop because they don't do it frequently enough to build the pattern recognition it demands.

Pontotoc homes — like most residential construction across North Mississippi — present a consistent profile of drywall issues: settlement cracking along door headers and corner beads, ceiling discoloration and soft spots from HVAC condensation and roof slow-leaks, and the accumulated damage of normal occupancy over time. Each of these repair scenarios has a specific correct approach that differs from the next.

TAV's approach to water-damaged drywall begins by identifying and addressing the source before any repair work begins. Patching over an active moisture intrusion produces a result that will fail again within one to two seasons — and may conceal growing mold behind the new surface. We assess the moisture condition, confirm the source is resolved, and then execute the repair in the correct sequence: replace affected material, apply appropriate primers, finish to a paint-ready standard.

For new construction and room additions, TAV provides full structural drywall hanging — fire-code-rated installation where required, proper blocking for heavy wall-mounted fixtures, and consistent panel alignment that makes the finishing process predictable and clean. Every new installation is finished to at minimum a Level 4 standard, with Level 5 skim-coat available for spaces where high-sheen paint or strong sidelighting will expose surface imperfections.

Dust control is built into every drywall project. Plastic containment barriers isolate active work areas, and HEPA-filtered sanders reduce airborne particulate throughout the sanding and finishing phases. Pontotoc homeowners who are occupying adjacent rooms during a repair can expect a contained work zone, not a whole-house dust event.
