Patching and painting are done by the same person, so there's no second contractor to find and schedule.
Smooth, orange peel and knockdown textures are blended so the repair disappears once the paint goes on.
Older Essex County homes keep their original plaster walls. Cracks are stabilized, patched and skim-coated.
A stain means water. We tell you when a plumber or roofer has to stop it before the drywall is replaced.
Popcorn ceilings from before the mid-1980s may contain asbestos, so a lab test comes before any scraping.
Water damage repairs can come with photos and an itemized invoice you can send to your insurance company.
Before any drywall repair in an older New Jersey home, check three things: what the wall is made of, what caused the damage, and whether the material needs testing first.
Drywall sounds hollow and takes a pushpin easily; plaster feels hard and cold, and a pushpin barely goes in. Plaster is common in Essex County homes built before the 1950s and needs plaster repair, not a drywall patch.
Most cracks are cosmetic, from tape seams or normal settling. Cracks that grow, slope or come with sagging are different and worth a structural check. Our guide on wall cracks shows examples of each.
A water stain means water is getting in, often from a pipe, a roof or a winter ice dam. The drywall comes last, after the source is fixed and the area is dry. See what to do first about a ceiling water stain.
Stop the water
A licensed plumber fixes pipes; a roofer fixes the roof.
Let it dry
Moisture is checked before the wall or ceiling is closed.
Replace and seal
New drywall and a stain-blocking primer stop bleed-through.
Keep the paperwork
Photos and an itemized invoice help with an insurance claim.
Older ceiling texture and joint compound can hide asbestos, so they are tested before anyone scrapes or sands. Read why you should test a popcorn ceiling before you scrape.
These are the questions homeowners ask most before a drywall or plaster repair. For general questions, read the handyman FAQ.
It depends on the size and number of holes, texture matching, whether you paint the patch or the full wall, and access. Send photos or describe the job: if the photos show enough, you get a written quote; if not, we schedule a visit first, at no charge. Either way, the price is in writing before anything is scheduled. Our drywall repair cost guide for NJ explains what changes the price.
Texture and sheen are matched to the wall. If the old paint is faded, repainting the whole wall hides the repair best, and you'll hear that before work starts.
Csiszer Property Maintenance, an insured handyman company serving Essex County and Union County, NJ, does both. The wall is primed and painted in the same visit when you ask for it, so you never wait on a second trade to finish the job. When the whole room needs color, our interior painting service covers it.
Most wall and ceiling cracks are cosmetic, from tape seams or normal settling. Wide, growing or sloped cracks are flagged so you can call a structural engineer before any repair.
Smooth, orange peel and knockdown textures can be blended. Popcorn ceilings need an asbestos test first, then popcorn ceiling removal or a repair.
Drywall sounds hollow and takes a pushpin easily; plaster is hard, cold and solid. Plaster is common in homes built before the 1950s. Our guide Plaster or Drywall? walks you through the checks.
The person who can stop the water: a licensed plumber for pipes, a roofer for the roof. The water damage drywall repair comes after the area is dry.
Ceilings installed before the mid-1980s may. A lab test is the only way to know, so it always comes first. If the test is positive, a licensed abatement contractor handles the removal.
Small basements and single rooms, yes, through our drywall installation service. Large projects that need permits and several trades are better with a general contractor. Trim can be added after with our carpentry services.
A licensed electrician, since New Jersey requires a license for electrical work of 10 volts or more. The drywall is cut neatly around the existing boxes.
