Drywall Repair vs. Replacement: What's Best for Your Home?
Cracks. Holes. Dents. Maybe even water damage. When drywall starts showing its age, many homeowners ask – Should I repair it or replace it entirely?
The short answer? It depends on the damage (and your goals).
Repair makes sense when the damage is small or surface-level. Think nail holes, minor dents, or even small water spots. A skilled drywall contractor like Barreto Construction LLC can patch, sand, and blend the fix so well you’ll forget there was ever a problem.
Replacement is smarter when damage is widespread or structural. Large holes, deep cracks, sagging from moisture, or mold growth? It’s not worth patching over. Replacing ensures the integrity, safety, and long-term beauty of your walls or ceilings.
Here's what to consider:
- Age of drywall: Older panels may crumble with time.
- Cause of damage: Ongoing leaks or foundation shifts? Fix the root first.
- Future plans: Renovating the room? Full replacement may make more sense.
At Barreto Construction, we don't just guess. We inspect, advise honestly, and treat your home like our own. Whether you need a quick fix or a full wall replacement, we do it on time and on budget.
